Boobs or not, the Unique chest plates can surely be attributet to Unit 01's different origin and the armor having to match its different biology.

I don't see why. Lilith and Adam didn't look noticeably different in NGE, as far as we can tell. And Unit 01 having a different origin from the other Evas is far from confirmed in Rebuild.

Which is interesting because unit01's chest armor looks much less feminine than the standard armor.

Also, Kaworu refers to Adam as "She"... o_0

I don't think it's boobs that are hidden beneath the Armor (Lilliths also weren't all to visible/recognizable), but there has to be SOME biologic difference between the SoLs. And the EVAs don't exactly look like 'em, at least not Unit 01 which looks a lot like a human (More so in Rebuild. If you look at its Hand in the Shamshel battle, it is drawn almost the same way as the human characters' hands, fingernails and all.

What upsets me most is that they cut the love confession. EVA 01 and GNRR look like they are making out anyway, even if not shown that 'explicitly', but maan... I guess they're saving it for later/had a better Idea. It would be to early for the "I love you, Ikari-kun!", I guess. They still need 2 films worth of plot. XD

Why? They have the same purpose.

Lilith also had hands, with nails (lol) if I recall.

Asdie from some minor alterations, that shot is a trace job from Episode 03.

Not exactly. The Hand was some weird shade of brown in the Anime, and both the anime and the Rebuild hand show more color and structure than Lilliths. Of course EVA 01 is derived from Lillith, I'm not debating that, but that doesn't mean that they look identical.

I'm not sure we were talking about the same thing. The color of Unit-01's hand is changed, but it's overall shape is the same as it was in the series (maybe her fingernails are slightly shorter). So it doesn't look any more "human", as you put it, than it already did. At least not to me.

Well, it is a Japanese Eva .

Shogoki is not amused.

Come on, guys. Cut it out. This is supposed to be a serious discussion about Unit 01's wiener and scrotesack.

No ofcourse you're completely right.

So do you think Unit 01 is cut or uncut?

I dunno but it might have some [s]piercings[/s] mechanical additions XD

judging by the sketch, Unit Man1 is in some sort of self-decaying ecstasy


all the more missed opportunity to use sheer body horror in 2.22 and then some

The bodies that are falling off Lilith in rebuild are now quite clearly Rei parts .. the idea of Graphing cells off Lilith is interesting.

Now of course Liliths genitalia is not visible and i think its safe to assume that the only two characters who gender plays any important role in plot now and forever more is Gendo and Yuri .. however what this ambiguity of genetic origin most importantly leans towards is the idea Rei reuniting with a source of her creation by being inside the "womb" of EVA unit 1. She is in a sense inside her self once more.

Giving great support to the speculation of Rei and Shinji being one body in 3.0 . and possibly more meaning to "Giant Rei"?? i dont know about this.

I think possibilities that could lead off from this are

1. a more extroverted and relaxed Rei now she is inside her hole self *twice!* as we have seen a number of times manga episode 26 and dismissed as a (dream sequence)
2. that that energy is from Shinji being inside her as well
3. a explanation for Gendos motivations (to finish building his puppet Yuri yet ironically pregnant with his hated son)
4. a explanation for the quote " Evangelion is a story that repeats"
5. a explanation of of every one clapping at the end of 26.. standing above a body of water (the womb of the world).. a birth scene?

Wild speculation but i think these are the real questions the disregarding of genitalia make us ask. Why be so ambiguous. Perhaps because your trying to tell a story unable to be told at that time on tv 1995. And only able to be told to a mature audience 2011 Cinema.

Maybe a lot of this is based of some wonderful ideas put into my head after watching the wonderful cinematography of Gaspar Noé in Enter the Void (2009) as it deals with similar issues of Origen, sex and Self Power on a backdrop of a Neon Tokyo.

If any one should be asked to assist work on a live action Evangelion it should be this person! regardless of how the story progresses.

They have far to different sizes/are too big and growing out of each other... And it's just legs, no other body parts.
I think those are simply Lillith's failed attempts to regenerate it's legs which don't work cuz 'proper' regeneration is inhibited by the LoL/absence of its soul

If anything, it's more clear they were Rei-related in the original...

- Most are observably human-sized when Kaworu is in the frame for comparison.
- Lilith retains them after the Spear is pulled out and she regenerates her legs. The deformed lower bodies are only reabsorbed after Rei returns.

As for NME? Who knows.
