Watch it now (and not just because of Ggio and Shuuhei and Shinji), watch it because you love me watch it because you want to give yourself the gift of having watched something unbelievably awesome all the way through. Honestly...so fucking impressed.

Number 8 is a Key Moment, you know? It's gotta happen to make the rest of the series that much more awesome. My favourite moment in the whole series happens as a direct result of episode 8.
