OK, "Dattebayo" is more of an exclamation - to emphasise the last word or phrase that was spoken.

Like... "I'll be Hokage, dattebayo!" = "I'll be Hokage! Hokage, you hear me!?"
It can be seen as "You know what I mean!?" as well. There is no pure English translation for it, so it's just meant to be taken as an emphasis of the sentence that preceded it.
well, even i'm not a fan of Eva, but i really like Asuka. She's awesome. I'm so surprised that most of ppl here like Asuka more than Rei.
Well, perhaps it's because Sakura and Asuka are both strong, fiery ladies?

I've only seen a little of Evangelion, what stops me from buying the DVDs is that they tend to be rather expensive and it can be a real pain trying to find the FIRST one.

Geez, there were so many posts while I was away! Nice to see the place being busy.

We also had power outages here, there was a fire at the substation. Thankfully, they've fixed it. A day without any hot coffee would be horrible... :S
