I wonder if we might see a prototype of this guy at the August Wonderfest? A new Unit 01 design seems like the kind of thing they'd want to show off there to build up hype for pre-orders. The lantern festival is also in early August so maybe we'll know by then whether or not this is the new official...

I thought maybe he thinks it's actually a bad element of the show, not just uncomfortable (I should have clarified that). And I think Asuka's treatment of Shinji isn't actually that bad, but that's another topic. ACGT-Samael said most of it for me. Yeah it establishes things about her character but...

Exploring the relationship in a sequel is fine too since it's all part of the same narrative. Unless they apply the Summer Blockbuster trope where they break the characters up for the sake of repeating the relationship drama. That's just garbage writing. :P

I was watching a few episodes recently and it really struck me how much I dislike Asuka's crush on Kaji. Especially that new scene added into...I think it was 22'? Yeesh. Thank god the movies left that out and that Mari did not pick it up when she stepped into the vacancy. As for the movies, I think...

Huh, neat! I've never seen a gun with one of those before. The more you know!

Personally, I get really, really sick of will-they-won't-they slap slap kiss belligerent sexual tension and angst relationship writing where the characters only hook up at the end of the damn thing. It's trite and predictable and I want to see characters actually developing their relationship once t...

I don't actually remember theorizing that. My current brain says that'd be silly and too much of a retrace of EoE. The first thing I thought of for both flashlight videos is they're making a new Khara logo. That kinda of mundane stuff you can post no twitter no problem and then watch people lose th...

I feel kinda silly getting excited over a couple guys playing with a flashlight in a dark room.

On the camera it kinda looks like an Angel's eye blasts or a cross explosion like when the Vessel of the Adams died.

Not necessarily. A movie like this isn't made in sequential order.

Yeah, this one definitely seems more fan interaction-oriented than the official khara and Evangelion twitter accounts. Earlier they were retweeting pictures of penguins dressed as Penpen and gushing about how cute they are. :lol: I kind doubt Anno himself is the one running the account but I'm sure ...

I just find it reassuring that there's content to edit. ^_^ That makes me wonder if they'll drop their initial teaser stuff/trailer on this account or if they have other media deals worked out as part of their licensing. Any consistency in eva development? like how long did it take for 1,2,3.0 to ai...

Unit 08's handguns seem like fairly normal guns scaled up to giant size and they're able to blow the head clean off an Eva in a couple shots. But then you have that sniper rifle which looks like it has a traffic light mounted on the end of the barrel.

There's also that whole problem of the movie not actually showing that he did cause Third Impact while simultaneously showing Mark.06 and #12 at the crime scene holding a smoking gun. The Punished Shinji narrative always ignores those two for some reason. :???: If he was evil he wouldn't feel so bad...

Please don't tell horror stories like this. I wouldn't say I mind the release date, it's gonna happen the way it happens. But a part of me wants it to be sooner rather than later. Unfortunately it's well within the realm of possibility. I wouldn't be surprised at a spring/summer 2019 release. We've...

Does anyone have the Sega Prize premium Mark.06 figure? I'm thinking about picking one up but I'd like to know what the quality is like beforehand. I've bought a few figures of the human characters but never an Eva.

After 6 years of waiting I can't imagine too many people would be upset at having a concrete release date even if it was a year away.

I tried saving the image and zooming to the computer to see if I could make anything out in that top corner, nope! :lol: You need more zoom and enhance! :lol: I saw a post on /r/eva earlier where someone asked khara2 when the movie was coming out and they said that they couldn't say. Not at all sur...

That khara/color thing always trips me up too. This is excellent news though. Sounds like progress on the movie is really trucking along! Didn't they say during that talk show that Anno was shut up in the editing room working on the movie? Damn those stickers though! But I bet even if you could get ...

A couple years ago I saw a music video that had a full English cover of Tamashii no Rufuran, but I've never been able to find it again. I'm pretty sure the translated lyrics didn't use "refrain." Would anyone happen to know what that was?

Considering he doesn't understand Lilin I'd say no. I've been wondering about this. Kaworu doesn't 'get' Lilin, but how much of that stems from his personal experiences versus an actual inability? The Angels are solitary creatures by nature and even the human protagonists have trouble understanding...
