(****spoiler detail warning****my opinion***)
As a long time fan of Evangelion and a newfound fan of your work on Lovesick, it's pretty awesome and insane seeing the planets align between the two:
Stuart is definitely like a mix between Kaworu and Kaji, giving Syd/Shinji some calm respite and wisdom from all the energy and apocalypse the women in his life bubble around him.
Maisy is like Misato with her drunkenness and wildness and she is basically Syd's guardian at his new home, (Shinji and Syd reciprocate their guardian roles to them in a way somewhat) and she has a longing for more adult culture in her life, and I don't need to tell anyone why she is Asuka.
Maisy's Conservative parents, Steph's mother, Nacho, and Syd's old past function as Gendo.
Steph's mother is also similar to Kyoko.
Jayda is like Misato (daddy's girl vibes) and I'm assuming Mari (can't say I have seen the new ones though), she also shares Shinji's confidence traits with Syd
Grace is like Toji, for being protective and like Hikari, for being on par on aggressiveness as Asuka.
Syd, Jayda and Albie are like Kensuke, their gaming hobbies align with Kensuke's military nerdism.
Albie is Kensuke and Shinji when he was younger and him and Steph's cats share the innocence of Pen Pen. Actually Albie shares his personality with basically every kid who is under heavy stress from their parents to achieve. Him, Steph, Grace and Stuart also line perfectly with stressed and forced to overachieve children, which also permits particularly infamously through asian/japanese (or australian) culture and thereby high school age anime characters in general.
Steph is like a mix between Rei ( but i'm really hoping Steph doesn't have the same implications as Rei, lol, that would really grind Syd and by extension my heart into the dirt) and Asuka traits as well with some of her history that I know so far.
Otherworld contains Biblical references (according to Maisy's parents) and Around the Galaxy contains science fiction and if you combine the two you get something similar in vein with the invading Evangelion angel lore and they reflect psychological and symbolic aspects of the characters. (okay haha now I'm definitely stretching but it's so fun so Idc)
But yeah, while this was fun to compare them, I am definitely oversimplifying the personalities of both the cast of Lovesick and Eva.
Btw thanks for the response to my other post, it's exciting conversation. I will reply to it when my thoughts become more coherent. Also I have found a few grammar errors in your awesome visual novel, and I would be happy to report them to you when I have the time because I want to help you with this project/work of art as much as I possibly can because It's awesome, I will also try to provide some of the data of my playthroughs (I have been playing your game the entire week since I discovered it because I am totally addicted, ( I filled 75 pages of save files desperately trying to make my decisions perfect!)
Hey there! Great to hear from you again.
I love those comparisons and connections you made! THey're really interesting! I especially like the connection between Toji and Grace. The way they express their hurt and worry through aggresiveness is uncannily similar. Also, Stuart is definitely more Kaworu than anyone else in the cast, with his calm demeanour. Once I watch the rebuild movies, I'll see if Mari and Jayda line up! EVen though she definitely shares more traits with Shinji atmhahah!
And please, feel free to let me know of any mistakes or bugs you find! It's extremely helpful and a great way to make sure the game is as polished as can be.
