Honestly, I really enjoy just watching these characters exist. It feels really rewarding to see Shinji not have a major depressing conflict for the first time of the whole show. It's nice to see these characters just be happy, even if nothing particularly eventful is happening.
Asuka's character looks like a really fun addition. It's really nice to see Shinji have someone (who isn't extremely odd) who is a pilot of an evanglion as his friend. A really risky and loose-cannon Asuka paired perfectly with a more strategical, calm minded Shinji. Really hope the writers do something and create a bond between the two, because their bit in the underwater angle was really fun to watch.
Overall, this episode really bonds all the characters together, and makes me happy to watch. All the depressing episodes, specifically episode 4, "Rain, After Running Away," really make the happy and more peaceful episodes like this feel very special. Really enjoying the show so far!
