I love how the Rufus Wainwright song is completely at odds with the mood of the trailer. Looks neat.

There wasn't enough time to deal with Toji/Kensuke/Hikari in the series, so there definitely won't be enough time to deal with them in the Rebuld movies.

I don't want to listen to the audio so I'll just ask: are any characters noticeably different in terms of the way they act so far? All I've heard is that Shinji's less "wimpy", as he is in the manga.

Or maybe it's a Stephen Colbert WristStrong bracelet.

Oh god, I can't even imagine what kind of horribly twisted fantasies will be executed with the aid of these things.

Just more red crap, probably. Something to match those things on her head when she's piloting. I'll pretend like I'm not acknowledging what Matt Greenfield and co. call them, but in reality I just forgot.

Some details could be changed. In what you posted it doesn't list why it has to be 12 angels. It could even be 12 mass-production Eva units. I think the end episodes as spelled out in that document are somewhat consistent with their announcement that the ending will be clear and not ambiguous as...

Too many pilots, not enough screentime. If the new character was pivotal to the new story, they'd probably be making a bigger fuss about it. (Unless their plan is to totally take everybody by surprise...) And as for looking like Shinji with glasses and long hair, don't forget that &q...

Is the Second Impact cover-up mentioned in Rebuild 01? A giant bloodstain on the moon would be difficult to blame on a meteor. Well, if there are ANY shots of them in school during class, then it's certain that Second Impact is covered. :D (not necessarily the coverup, but I couldn't pa...

Something to consider is that Misato's finding out about "Adam" in the series sort of begins her quest to find out what the hell's really going on. If she already knows, is she already looking for answers when the movie saga starts? Or if this is a new story, is she okay with it? T...

If time was cyclical like this is suggesting, wouldn't the events that take place next in the story be the same as they were previously?

That's why I don't think this rumor is true.

Sadly, probably not.

I'm going with Cthulhu.

Honestly, I am really not certain at this point in time. I would have to wait to see what Rebuild completely entails before I could comment with an informed opinion. Though I can still speculate... Yeah, speculation is what this thread is for. It's just, what do *you* think Anno is referencing ...

A lot of people believe that the original Evangelion series changed the shape of anime for years to come, and Anno has expressed that, just as the original series did, Rebuild should do the same. He wants to "...connect today's exhausted Japanese animation [industry] to the future..." ...

I was originally going to use a visual clue to compare the two coital-position scenes, but it turns out they're not the same. The shot is 90 degrees off from the instrumentality scene. Oh well.

I think I just noticed something, but it could be my faulty memory. Could someone find a shot of Shinji sitting on top of Asuka at the end (where he cries on her cheek and she strokes his?) Now that I think about it, my intuition is probably wrong, but I'd appreciate anyone who could fin...

My point is Misato is involved in this, even though she has no place in the scene because she was out on her date with Kaji. This isn't a flashback, it's character interaction with the environment being shaped by past events. There's much more happening here than the scenes get credit f...

You know how when you have a jack-in-the-box, it's fun until the jack pops out and unpleasantly surprises you? Yeah. Clicking on links is like that. Although I should have looked at the URL more closely before clicking.

Does anyone really need anything? (Okay, so I don't know how to answer that.)

I didn't know where else to put this, so I figured this was the best place. Does anyone have any interest in starting an IRC channel up? I live on IRC so naturally this interests me. I saw a thread in the graveyard about an old IRC channel that is now out of use, and people seemed to think that ...
