Today I received the Blu-ray and I watched the movie for the first time. I avoided the Eva community -including this forum- in order to avoid spoilers and sure thing the time skip was a shock but in general I felt quite cold towards it. When I saw the second movie was really hyped, and when compared...

@ Sailor Star Dust : Thanks, now is corrected. @ Azathoth : Anta baka Mari and bandaged Mari comes from different sets of storyboards, drawn by different persons. Take it as a brain-storming for Mari personality. @ SaltyJoe : The red symbols that appear on the pillar things are 使徒ë...

I did a short review at my blog . Unlike the previous one, this is a must have despite the excessive price and the killer shipping costs. As a preview, here is the Asuka & Mari piloting together scene: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iCnzf-y60cc/TLrxQFgEWUI/AAAAAAAACbY/o8xPfOsou70/s1600/mari-asuka.jpg

After watching the CG model scene frame by frame, I realized that the mid section is bended unnaturally with those orange stripes (that seems some sort of metallic plating) and hold together with the dark red belts. The only orange plate that is "opened" is the one with the legs, s...

Also note the pillars around the Black Egg at Bethany Base, of which 5 appear to have burst open (or if we go by invidual segments, 11). These pillars also appear to have been placed around Unit-01 post 3I. Now that you mention it, those pillars appears also in Asuka's Intensive-care/co...

I also posted about it:

Is the English in the battle with Tunniel truly distracting? We've heard Mari's Engrish (kinda cute actually) and I know some people have said Kaji's Engrish is....ugh. But what about the background people, the Technicians? Did they go the way of the TV series and hire actual en...

Was there any interaction between Asuka and Touji before she decided to take his place to test Eva 03? Did she do it out of pride/wanting to be praised etc. or did it seem to hint that she knew what the outcome might be? Reading that she made a phone call on a secure line to Misato before boarding ...

As JimmyWolk says, the plugsuits are labelled according to their Eva units, and doesn't correspond to the number of the children.
Mari uses 05 labelled plugsuits (both the green one and the pink one) and Kaworu uses a 06 labelled one.

A compilation of the material that appeared in the Eva extra 1-3, in a "deluxe edition".

She seemed fine, standing by her own. The Suzuhara family seems lucky this time.

Yes, she resembles a slightly younger version of Kyon's sister. The scene is at the door of the hospital, she is carrying a bouquet and Touji is patting her head. I think her name is not mentioned.

Among the fanart already available, the closest to the real thing is this:

Lucretius wrote:Does this scene here have something to do with Asuka, as many speculated?

No, in that scene Shinji is alone talking to himself.

Also, it'd be nice to have something with "classic" pairings: Toji/Hikari (apparently Toji protects Hikari in 2.0 during a battle), Misato/Kaji (not even them hooking back up? Jeez this really IS about the pilots @_@ ), or whatever else. Actually, there's a lenghty...

Does Shinji even know that she pilots though? Yea she fell from the sky and knew LCL smell, but does anyone actually recognize her as a pilot at any point? Nobody knows Mari. Kaji may know Mari since both were at the same base during Tunnel Angel fight, but don't speak with each other. Lands un...

From THAT BOARD:



Eva-02 doesn't resemble much because is way too musculated, but Zeruel is exactly like that.

Is the scene where Misato slaps Ritsuko still in the movie,it was in the original preview. Actually, there's nothing from the preview that made to the final movie untouched: The slap doesn't appear. That scene is Ritsuko saying that the plan to intercept Saha is useless because the percenta...

I took me more than 5 hours, but I re-did my summary and I added photos. I posted it in my blog Suddenly, a huge spear flies down and impales Eva-01. Third impact is halted, you see kaworu's eva descend. Question to Ornette (or to anybody else who has seen the movie): by "you see Ka...

You don't suppose you loose your normalcy/humanity by piloting, and not just in the psychological sense. Perhaps in the case of starting Eva Unit-01 by yourself and using all your might to reach into an Angel's body and pull someone out. Just to explain more about what I meant with my origi...
