Holy crap, and I thought Asuka made a great first impression in the anime. One thing I never was too fond of there was that Shinji "helped" her take out the Angel, but here she basically did on her own and really fast as well. I like that Sadamoto kept the cape.
Also, haha at the fight. Asuka kicked the hell out of those grown men. Damn. Her abilities are really being emphasized here, it seems. She be perfect if not for that personality.
