Moyoco Anno's Husband

This past week I was having a discussion with a group of students at a certain university in Montreal about Magic Knight Rayearth, and we were talking about how it was picking up on the "reluctant hero" theme of many giant robot anime. Someone said, "Like Evangelion?" and the other kids were like, "What's Evangelion?" Another kid said, "It's directed by Hideaki Anno," and the other kids were like, "Oh, of course, he's Moyoco Anno's husband." And that seemed to sort out the confusion.
And I laughed to myself, because sometimes I forget that, in some parts of the world, Hideaki Anno is considered to have done nothing of note aside from having the good fortune to be married to Moyoco Anno.
