I can't find a more decently titled relevant thread to put this in so meh here it goes



If I'm reading this right the 8+2 preview was directed by Ichiro Itano, which suddenly explains literally everything about the choreography of it.
Another interesting tidbit is the direction called for some kind of sword to be used and the only reason the Magrok was used was because the digital department had a model of it that was used for the Super Eva action figure made a long time ago.
EDIT: I think, more specifically Yamashita is referring to the ANIMA version of the Magrok being used because it's the only version they had at the time as a 3D model, vs. the original 90s Magrok design which might have been intended to use. Not entirely sure though.

The preview finally makes perfect sense. Anno just went "lol, let Itano do it".

I'm not sure how Ichiro's direction is an indication for it being fake. Anno most likely would still have written the preview and we see earlier in the film foreshadowing for the MP Eva's

The choreography can certainly be explained through this, but given all the Mark06 clones we're shown, fact that the production studios spent time, effort, and money on motion-capture technology, AND the 8+2 toy that was made, I'd find it a bit odd and unwise for all of that to have happened without it being approved by Hideki Anno on some narrative level.

Ignore thread title. I'm not in any way saying the preview is "fake". It's as real as the other previews meaning that's the preliminary ideas they have as of wrapping the last movie.

I'm saying Itano explains the style of it.

Speaking of 3.0+1.0, it's now January 2016. Do we even know when it's coming out?

Nope. All eyes are on the G-man for the time being
