Not true. Second Impact occurs in September 13, 2000 AD. Shinji is born
June 6, 2001. He was thus concieved in October 2000, unless Yui had a
very short or a long pregnancy. This means Shinji is concieved after
Second Impact, and born months after it. Not even in the same year.
Minor point: Backtracking 270 days (9 30-day months) from June 6, 2001
puts you at Sept. 9, 2000 - just about the same date as Second Impact,
maybe a bit before, and fitting right in with the time that Gendo left
Antarctica. Pretty decent story, overall. I try not to actively hate
Gendo in general, and it's nice to have a story that can actually view
him as a (more-or-less) normal person, instead of evil personified.
