Shin-seiki: Speaking as a guy, I would say that you have to be pretty far gone to be surrounded by cute girls, and not even spare them a glance… Shinji's habit of zoning out with the headphones into his own little world is going to get him in trouble later on with Asuka (who is a person who tends to insist on the attention of others) in #09.
Reichu: If ya'll recall, the Mirror System is that funky array of buildings on Tokyo-3's southern edge, right on the shore of Ashinoko. They're in the second thumbnail down.
