The UI/UX graphic design from Evangelion is actually pretty cool and clean. The only other sci-fu UI design I've seen that is also clean and nice looking is from star trek the next generation. Actually they made the UI from star trek better with Picard. Borrowing the name from Eva might be a bit much in this case but borrowing the UI look won't be. They've done both here. They could've even gotten away with borrowing the graphic design look from Eva without citing it as the Eva UI designs are generic enough that it's not an obvious copy. Examples: eva: https://medium.com/astromono/the-amazing-ui-design-of-evangelion-de1126a7a85d https://medium.com/astromono/the-amazing-ui-design-of-evange... lcars: https://www.thelcars.com/themes/lcars-ultra-picard.html https://www.thelcars.com/themes/lcars-ultra-picard.html

Why not use the name? It's very memorable.

  Because it's strange and distracting? Is this a promotional app or an actual earth quake app? Imagine this: Star Trek the next generation Earthquake Locator! and it's an Lcars interface. Additionally Eva was a very divisive series. Popular yes, somewhat main stream in japan but also strange enough that its mostly liked by a certain crowd. I'm part of that crowd but at the same time I get why that crowd is different. To help illustrate imagine 2010s Justin Beiber or Twilight themed earth quake apps. Right? That's sort of a different crowd from the people who like Eva and not everyone is into that stuff. Are you more likely to download the app if it was themed liked that? Additionally Anime was not always mainstream in the world. It was considered nerdy to like it. It's become mainstream now in the last decade outside of japan, but in japan it's still considered a little different.

    As others mentioned, it's apparently partly because of how the twitter account associated with the application was source of good information during the Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami of 2011, setting the stage for making more.

      It doesn't. First off it gets the wrong people to download the app. Second the right people will be turned off from downloading it.

        Yes, we should instead look to have Justin Bieber or Twilight fans perish in natural disasters.

        You got it backwards. Think critically. If it was Justin Bieber themed only the Justin Bieber fans wouldn't perish. Would you download a Justin Bieber natural disaster app? If the answer is yes then this conversation is over.

        > Would you download a Justin Bieber natural disaster app? If it were the only option, yes. Wouldn't you? I think Bieber is a twat. But you're almost making putting his face on a disaster app sound like a good idea. If we're accepting selecting people based on their traits and biases, those who are unable to put aside a petty dislike for a pop star to survive seem like a decent place to start.
