To me, it looks like she gets screwed into her command throne via the hips, but that could just be the perv in me noting attachment points.
Could be, could be. Since she'll have to control four legs instead of two, they probably have to fiddle with the nerve connectors.

I'm just wondering if she'll have any real plot impact or if she's just there so Gainax can show off how inventive they are with mecha designs.

Just looked at the pics above, Rei seems more endowed than before :snigger:. WTF is on Unit 02's head!? Looks like a TTGL homage or something, either way it makes the Eva look screwy, Unit 03 has the whole Darkwing Duck thing going on. I'm definately not sold on Unit 00's colouring, it looks kinda gimpy. The white bits look pretty naf imo, both on 00 and 02. 05 seems to be a mish mash of solar furnaces, drills and what not. I think they screwed something up growing/frankensteining the Eva together, the bottom half seems to be mechanical rather than biomech given the shape and. It's like the unholy fusion of an Eva and a Guntank, but JUST enough Eva to generate an AT field.

the thing i don't like about unit 5 is the lack of a real hand to grab things... I'd like to see Kaworu get unit two past her

Now she looks like a character from Persona. And that mouth!
I think I fear for the safety of Shinji/whoever Maria goes after.

That is a rape face the likes of which I haven't seen on a female anime character for some time....

The more interesting question is: What terrible psychological scars does she have?

Her mother was a pirate operating out of Roanapur.
Her father was a Japanese businessman, who became a pirate.


Certainly a bit of 'Two Hand' in her....



Eva-05 looks like something that would be bodged together in a British shed. Mad looking, daft as a brick, but strangely brilliant in a Wallace and Gromit fashion.

Did they mention which country built Eva 05?



Even taking the Mp evas into account Unit 05 is a rather odd divergence
is the new leg design suposed to allow faster movement.
the pilot interface seems to be altered as well


New pilot= fusion of Mayumi Yamagishi and Mana Kirishima???

Did someone gave away the happy hippy pills to Gainax again?

Knowing Anno, she is going to be a normal girl. In a world where everybody has issues, that must be some sort of sickness.

And EvaGeeks has the second trailer. Damn, the animation is awesome. And I'm starting to dig Kyoko's new color scheme.

Also, PANTSU

okay, wow, they pulled all that shit, and we still have two movies to go.

I'm suspecting some sort of wacky shit is going to go down, so lets not count anybody completly out yet. Supposedly Asuka is seen with eyepatch in the preview for the third movie.

so, yeah maybe she gets better... or something

Or Gendo has already played the ultimate Xantos gambit? he's got backups... of everybody

Gonna need another timmy!

Actually... I'm annoyed with the manga... I just read volume 11 the other day... the whole time, they are referring to Kawru as the 12th angel...

Been too long with anime constantly referring to him as 17th... It sits wrong.

Remember that the manga has less angels than the anime.

You misunderstand... I did not state it was wrong in the manga to call him the 12th in manga, I meant I've known him for the last decade from the anime as the 17th...

It sits wrong, as I keep thinking of the 18 hours Shinji spent inside the 12th in anime.

In Other Words... This whole changing the number and or order of angels between series, manga, and movies... annoys the heck out of me.

If I recall correctly, the original pitch for the series was 12 angels, but they decided to expand it to have more monsters to kill because they were afraid of the audience losing interest :lol:

But I see what you're saying. It's hard to keep up with THREE canons.

I'm still not sure how I feel about the whole 'rebuild' thing, myself. I'm waiting to see what the new ending is gonna be. If it doesn't SUCK, I'll be glad to forget that I ever heard the phrase, "I feel sick."

Plus we still have to see how the MANGA will end, so potentially, Evangelion could have FOUR endings to choose from (and to hell with the idea that the TV series and the movie have 'complimentary' endings - they're about as opposite as you can get! )

Oh wow...so in short the first "Rebuild" movie was Gainax way of saying "We've hook up the olds otakus and realized their wishes of Evangelion with modern animation techniques, now let's blow everything we knew of Evangelion sky high !", wasn't it ?

God, I hope that THIS one will have a Happy Ending?, not another bittersweet or downright Downer Ending like just about EVERY Super Mecha show I've seen for the past two years... :sisi:

I've got a friend who's stressing that we're dealing with an Evangelion Sequel as opposed to a complete reimagining. He points out the whole relatively unexplained Asuka's last name becoming Shinikami--then points out how the Asuka shown in the preview has an eyepatch

He then proceeded to link to pictures from the last bit of End of Evangelion, with the whole snarky comment of 'Where Else Have We Seen Asuka With An Eyepatch?'

It could be that Anno's just trolling us, but there could be something to it as well.

Discuss.
