Hot Blooded Pilots
This kind of pertains to Eva as well as other mecha of this type but why are the pilots required to be hot blooded and irrational like we see in Asuka. Granted, Asuka as a person is somewhat unbearable and Asuka herself is basically driven by the need to be the best there but is required in most super robot anime that the characters should be that? I don't know whether it is the idealistic hero thing or just plain tradition but Eva a shows that may not always be a good idea to have that kind of pilot and deconstructs quite violently this trope. Again, I ask why it required to have pilots like Asuka?
