For those unaware, the name and logo are inspired by NERV from the Japanese anime Evangelion (1995): https://evangelion.fandom.com/wiki/NERV

It's very funny and odd that they retained the "God's in his heaven, all's right with the world" text.

    “Pippa’s Song”

    THE year’s at the spring,

    And day’s at the morn;

    Morning’s at seven;

    The hill-side’s dew-pearl’d;

    The lark’s on the wing;

    The snail’s on the thorn;

    God’s in His heaven –

    All’s right with the world!

    Robert Browning (1812-1889)

      Ah... I just realized for the first time that this must be the same Robert Browning whose poem served as an inspiration for Stephen Kings "the dark tower"

    That's what made me think that it was a parody at first... Like.. that's just the Eva NERV tagline.. must be an Eva account.

    I imagine to the average Japanese person, that's just cool English text and nothing more.

The company behind it is called gehirn to add more fun to the story. :)

    I'm honestly kinda spooked out at the multiple websites and companies here that seem to be from NGE. I can't really tell if these are fake or real.
