Personality wise: Ha!Asuka or Q!Asuka?
Which of the two do you find more likable in terms of overall personality?

This is a no brainer. Q!Asuka is the only one I can get behind without reservations.

Re: Personality wise: Ha!Asuka or Q!Asuka?
I like both but there's a lot more going on with Asuka in part 3. And like a lot of the great character work in 3.0 it's all there on screen but is being told subtly in a series that has never been known for subtlety. Once you look past all the grand, in-your-face plot surface elements of the film the character work is pretty divine with Asuka & especially Misato being the best.
Plus as previously stated, she has an eyepatch. And a cool kitten ears cap.

Ha if I had to pick, but if neither is an option I'd go with that instead.

Soryu > Q > Ha, because her giving up in Ha was pretty painful to watch.

Re: Personality wise: Ha!Asuka or Q!Asuka?
Since Q shows us her development following on from Ha, I see no reason to choose - as they are both aspects of her.

Re: Personality wise: Ha!Asuka or Q!Asuka?
Pretty much agree. I like the fact that she has her act together in Q, but they're the same person so it's hard to express a preference. I do hope she gets a chance to chill out and let go of some of that anger, though.

Yes, I know. You thought it would be something about Asuka. You're such idiots.

Definitely Q Asuka, she's quite a bit more mature than she used to be.

^This.
Though it's not surprising that there's a large discrepancy given 14 years of post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Re: Personality wise: Ha!Asuka or Q!Asuka?
Q Asuka is the elite ace bad-ass that Sohryu and Hasuka claimed to be and shows it by deed instead of by word. One of the things I like most about her is that she doesn't tell anyone how great she is anymore. She just is good and none of her companions doubt it. But as others have said, I can't see them as distinct characters since one directly flows from the experiences of the other.
Someday I hope that we'll be reunited if that is what's destined to be. Perhaps we'll discover that elusive bible. And then we will finally be free!

Re: Personality wise: Ha!Asuka or Q!Asuka?
We're not supposed to see them as distinct characters, we're just supposed to pick which phase we prefer. Nothing anything especially odd about finding someone more likable during one part of their life than another.

Re: Personality wise: Ha!Asuka or Q!Asuka?
As much as I've always leaned towards Asuka in her teenage years, I immensely enjoy witnessing an Asuka who's mentally more of an adult than before.

Eye patch Q because I enjoyed the new and more adult perspective on her character.

^ That, and the image of Space Pirate Asuka is truly one of the greatest blessings Anno has bestowed upon us.

Even though Misato's the one channeling Harlock

Misato is channeling Captain Nemo from The Secret of Blue Water, while Ritsuko is channeling Electra from the same show. Shinji is finally channeling his design gender-swapped, dark skin doppelganger Nadia.

Re: Personality wise: Ha!Asuka or Q!Asuka?
While it's true she's channeling Nemo, Nemo himself was pretty much an amalgam of the original book Nemo, Okita and Harlock, so you could say Misato's indirectly channeling Harlock
