Why not use the name? It's very memorable.
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.
If it gets people to download the app, I’m all for it.
What is this based on?
> it gets the wrong people to download the app
Who is a wrong person for a disaster-readiness app?
> the right people will be turned off from downloading it
One, nothing precludes multiple apps. Two, we have different definitions for the right people to save if they’re going to prioritise cultural comfort over safety.
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.
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.
