Trailer

[Ayana-Me]

How about making some Matrix-ish stuff like installing some Japanese language skills into our brains and fly over to Japan when it has its premiere?

You have no idea how much thought I've given that...:?

Oh, by the way... ALL of the original voice actors are in this, right?

It lists all the original seiyu in the IMDB page for the 1.0, but I'm not sure how much I trust it.

EDIT: Ramiel looks fuckin intense!

[Gendo'sPapa]

Trailer....low quality crappy cam video.

Still...I creamed me jeans.

Shamshel looks less like a penis and just more SICK

Wait, where did you see Rebuild Shamshel?

[felineki]

How many versions of Fly Me to the Moon does that make now?

Looks like Shamshel's "mouth" is just the leg pouch she's always had.

[Ornette]

Wait, where did you see Rebuild Shamshel?

In the youtube link (titled "PROFIT") that corintium posted

[AuthenticM]

Here you go lads, squee some little more

----------->PROFIT<----------

-Internets to the uploader, music sucks though......I mean, for this thing

and shaky camera is shaaaaaaaaky

Holy crap, the animation seems to be top quality! Did you notice the way Rei's hair was wavering in the wind? Look closely. It is brief, but holy shit does it look good.

[Millions Livio]

No... words...

GHETTO MERGE for some trailer impressions posted in the wrong thread...

OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH MMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!

[/fanboy]

Well, they weren't kidding about some stuff being a shot for shot remake. I swear to god, if this is identical to the original series but just prettier, Anno is gonna have some serious explaining to do.

But seeing amazing animation like that.... it's just cool to think of Evangelion with a budget this time around!

(I fear for poor Ritsuko becoming a cameo)

No Ritsuko being a bitch? Darn hope that doesn't happen. My favortie frame from the trailer was Eva Unit-01 walking. The way it moved seemed and the music itself seemed to show an endless cycle of pain that never ends.

I gotta say the trailer was wicked. I was really sold on the look of Tokyo-3 coming out of the ground. It's one of those scenes that just looked unbelelievably cinematic! And great to see Anno is still keeping his random shots of powerlines and towers- I love those.

Favorite shot? Have to be Shamshel and his jittery bug legs. I've always loved what he did for the characters but I've found the Angel itself to be kinda lame and unimpressive. Those bone white legs just make me shudder.

And now, my post:

That's not the prettiest screener I've been privy to.

The look for Shamshel's arms reminds me of Asari's Ye Olde Concept Drawing:

Not digging the legs. And, yeah, 'ki, I don't see a mouth, either.

Holy crap, the animation seems to be top quality!

It's not as if they have any excuses for holding back this time.

[cat42]

I have a feeling I'm gonna watch this video again and again until a better quality copy of the trailer comes out.

I have faith in Anno, I have faith in Tsurumaki, I have faith in this production.

That's not the prettiest screener I've been privy to.

What do you mean by this? You've seen a better quality copy of the trailer?

[Jobhug]

Hell yeah!

At least we know for sure that rebuild will at least look badass

[NAveryW]

I for one love the new instrument phallic alien's new look. With all those legs, it looks less phallic and more alien.

I do find it interesting that many shots are compositionally exactly the same, but animated anew.

Now that I've actually seen the trailer, I kind of feel a bit empty. =(

[Reichu]

What do you mean by this? You've seen a better quality copy of the trailer?

"I've seen better-looking examples of footage that was taken illegally in movie theatres."

I for one love the new instrument phallic alien's new look. With all those legs, it looks less phallic and more alien.

Shamshel always had the legs. Well... eight of them. They were just folded up when she was "standing". And they never wriggled around spastically like a bug who's been flipped over.

Now that I've actually seen the trailer, I kind of feel a bit empty. =(

Don't worry. When you see a version that doesn't look like crap, it will be a completely new experience.

[NAveryW]

Shamshel always had the legs..

But this time, if you look carefully, you'll see that they make that section look like a ribcage!

...A wiggly, wiggly ribcage!

[Jobhug]

I for one am pro hypnotic wiggling and or jiggling on Shamshel

[UrsusArctos]

Well, he looks a whole lot freakier with a skeletal ribcage...here's to him putting those smaller limbs to use!

Tokyo-3 really does look awesome.

[Fearthebait]

Tokyo 3 is looking very good.
Shamshel looks a bit more intimidating with that...thing, in the middle of its chest. More importantly, this definitely looks like grade A animation.

[Jobhug]

Okay, does this really confirm LCL as being black? It could just appear that way once sho loses power during the first fight with an angel.

It sure does add to the air of isolation inside the entry plug though

[Reichu]

But this time, if you look carefully, you'll see that they make that section look like a ribcage!

I... tried not to think about it.

More importantly, this definitely looks like grade A animation.

More importantly -- will the movie be any good?

Okay, does this really confirm LCL as being black?

Too dark. Couldn't so much as see the LCL in the process of filling the plug.

Well, he looks a whole lot freakier with a skeletal ribcage...here's to him putting those smaller limbs to use!

Pointless Trivia: Shamshel seems to be regarded as a lady-Angel by her creator (Yoshitoh Asari).

...It gets rather messy after that.

[Jobhug]

Fun fact: 34 seconds into it ramiel is missing a fat chunk of it's rightmost corner.

[Gendo'sPapa]

Fun Fact: No smirking Kaworu. Maybe his part in Film 1 is little more than a cameo. Allowing more room for the intersting characters.
