You... really don't need much more than this. Yui Ikari yelling at everyone Mark Whatley* style is already pretty dang perfect.

Neon Genesis Evangelion is a realistic representation of life in a city constantly under attack by aliens from Lovecraft's wet-dreams. aeiou

"Alright," Ritsuko said to herself, "I think that should just about do it." System messages filled the screen of her computer, scrolling too fast for her to read, but none of them were flagged in red so presumably nothing had bugged out or otherwise malfunctioned. At last, all that was left was a blinking cursor.

Dr Ikari? Can you hear this, or read it? she typed.

There was a pause, just long enough for her to worry that something had gone wrong, and then...

ABOUT FUCKING TIME. I HAVE SO MANY THINGS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT.

"I should have tried this with Kaz first."

Please let this be a thing because TTS is hilarious and awesome
 
Hypothesis:

It would create about ten times as many problems, but they would be individually much less bad.

On the other hand, which would you rather have? One big problem that puts the world at risk of being abruptly turned into Tang all at once, or an unending succession of minor problems involving cranky giant robots that makes you so miserable you wish the world had been turned into Tang? Choose your poison. :p

Way ahead of you on that one.

I can't promise much, because that would require me to find the time to experience more of TTS than its TV Tropes page and I don't know if I have the patience for that. How accessible is the series to someone who's not particularly into WH40K but did quite enjoy Tales of the Emperasque?

More than she's ready to admit.

The early episodes are more accessible, since they basically are Kitten explaining to the emperor how 40k got so bad since they put him on the throne. Once they start building the plot and diving into the Myth Arc of the show proper it becomes less so. Lots of names, characters and places being thrown around, but you can still pretty much enjoy the hilarity.
 
"My Emperor, you've done nothing wrong!"
"THIS IS TRUE, AND IT'S GOOD THAT YOU REMEMBER THIS. I STILL DON'T KNOW WHY MY UNGRATEFUL SONS DECIDED TO TURN ON ME LIKE THAT."

I'd call it fairly accessible throughout, provided you watch them roughly in order.
 
(Short preview of the hopefully forthcoming next update.)

Asuka: TIL the Over The Rainbow has a cell tower. How's Tokyo-3?
Shinji: TIL you remember my phone number. And we're getting along. Mari has finally met the rest of the Do-Over Club.
Asuka: Oh yeah? How'd that go?

Shinji glanced over to the other end of Mari's living room, where she and Kensuke were in the middle of an animated discussion about the theory and practice of photography. Kensuke had blown right past any initial awkwardness when he'd realised that he was not just in the presence of a pretty girl who shared his enthusiasm for one of his hobbies for a change, and clearly couldn't quite believe his luck.

Shinji: Well, we have confirmation that Kensuke is not exclusively interested in 2D girls.

Now... which one will say it first? Who will be the one to flirt "talk nerdy to me" at the other?

I've got 2:1 on Mari; 4:1 on Kensuke; 12:1 on neither saying it; 15:1 on them saying it at the same time; and 20:1 on them being awkward with each other the first time either starts flirting, and Shinji just exasperatedly yells "just FUCK already!" and locks them in an entry plug
 
Something I've always noticed in fanfics is that Kensuke tends to get de-macho'd a lot. Like he's nerdy sure, but he's also a survival expert and his main interests are guns, outdoor life and photography. Also when you see the character design art, sure he's not "built" but he's pretty tall and actually quite handsome. We see how cool he can actually be in the last film. Dude is basically what you could get if you crossed Otacon with Snake.

Nice to see him getting some cool nerdy time with Mari. I hope she also notices how "pretty" he is as well. :)

EDIT: Also...what does TIL mean?
