	092	Rei being monitored. The examination bed moves. Misato (OFF):“It seems so cruel, making him bear the burden of humanity's fate."”	Reichu: Okay, WTF? Why is Rei called "SAMPLE 0001"? Sounds awfully shady. Mr. Tines: Also note that they're keeping up the fiction that Rei is 14. Treize X: Why exactly are they analyzing Rei anyway? What do they need? Mr. Tines: To see if she's fit to pilot again, I would imagine. She's been out of action since before episode #01. thewayneiac: This must be some of that "SÂBISU" Misato's been promising us. Sharp-kun: Service! Service! Reichu: Hel-LO, bandage fetishism! Mr. Tines: And this is our first panty-shot of the series. Otherwise, her bandaging is "conveniently" placed. Reichu: Refreshingly, the undergarments are treated as simply being there, rather than dwelt upon by the camera like a TRUE fan service shot. Mr. Tines: Quite. Relating back to #01/C-074, Eva's "service" at least avoids being blatant — even if there are a lot of camera angles that seem to be composed while forgetting that the female characters have faces, it's not exaggerated. Reichu: They've had such opportunities for "pantsu" before (#01, C-074; #03, C-121~3), but not taken them… Just for contrast, take "Blue Seed"*, where a running gag is made out of a different animal appearing on the heroine's panties in each episode. * Reichu: BTW, if you haven't seen this, you probably shouldn't bother. I've only found one use thusfar for the DVD box-set I mysteriously spent $40 on.
