Identification notes
What is known
Found clip supplied for The Shadow Zone: a low-resolution, nearly square clip of about 46 seconds, seen here through a representative frame. A close-up of Asuka Langley from Neon Genesis Evangelion shows her smiling softly, with the single burned-in word "Thursday" across the bottom in white block capitals. It is the plainest form of the "Asuka Thursday" joke that runs through several items in this batch. The source episode and editing history are unverified. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
