There's a throwaway line in the new preview that makes me wonder. The line was something like "I liked it better when only the pilots wore these shameful suits!"
And yeah, you could easily rationalize that as one of the new bridge bunny dudes being bitter about the skintight bodysuit, but nobody else gets annoyed at him for saying it, IIRC. This makes me wonder, because that's a fine thing to say about the kids that are keeping you alive.
How does the rest of WILLE really think of their pilots? We all know how much they cared about Shinji, that's obvious, but Asuka and Mari?

WILLE's relationship to their pilots. (Mild Spoilers)
"Crapsack worlds and anti heroes have their place. Sometimes, they are very necessary. But an endless diet of dreary cyberpunk and dark fantasy won't do us any more favors than an endless feast of glurge. I'd argue that the cynical nature of these really hurt our ability to hope and work for better. It gets us to accept the hopelessness and jaded outlook of things as 'That's the way it is. I can't change it,' and stops us from fighting when we NEED to fight."

Midori likes to complain. Didn't you see 3.0?

Re: WILLE's relationship to their pilots. (Mild Spoilers)
Oh, Midori said that? Okay, that makes sense. It doesn’t make it okay, but it makes sense. If any of the dudes said that, then I’d question why they thought that the plug suits were shameful and thought less of them. (I haven’t seen the English subs for the scene yet, so...)
It should be noted that, for whatever reason, the dudes’ suits aren’t skin-tight like the women’s suits are. That’s somewhat disappointing for me. Diegetically sparkling, maybe it has something to do with Wille only being able to recruit female pilots, so they just have plenty of skin-tight variations lying around for women but none for men. Though, I would imagine that size variations with the different women would still mean that it would be more feasible to have everyone wear the same baggy haz-mat suit the guys wear, so diegetically it still doesn’t make any sense to have skin-tight and non-skin right variations.
Non-diegetically speaking, it’s still an odd creative choice. Like, Shinji and Kaworu already have skin-tight uniforms, why not the other bridge bunny dudes?

Re: WILLE's relationship to their pilots. (Mild Spoilers)
The guys' Anti-L Barrier Hazmat Suits (they're not actually called plugsuits, though that is a lot less to type) actually are skintight.
Why do they get to wear the vest on top while all the women have to show off their breast contours? The fan service levels in Avant 1 are pretty over-the-top. Even the way Maya is leaning over her laptop is lewd.

Re: WILLE's relationship to their pilots. (Mild Spoilers)
It was a tad unnecessary too, even as fan service goes. Ritsuko wearing her lab coat over her suit was the only true fan service thing in the entire opening, as far as I’m concerned. No more fan service was needed beyond that.

So first, from where does that image comes from? Is there an artbook that was released with the screening?
Second, I never noticed until now that their life jacket were the Wunder uniform jacket colored orange, compare :

Kensuke is a military otaku who, at one point, is shown creepily taking pictures of girls to sell. He would clearly fit right in as an animator at Studio Gainax. -- Compiling_Autumn
EoTV is a therapist, EoE is a drill instructor. -- Chuckman
Seriously, that is the most fananked theory I've ever heard, more than Mari being Marty McFly travelling through time to keep her parents (Asushin) together. -- Jäeger

Re: WILLE's relationship to their pilots. (Mild Spoilers)
I have no issue at all with the sabisu sabisu, though I would prefer it if it was equal and the guys were just as "naked" as the women.
Like this, it feels kinda wrong.
Not really what I payed the most attention to though.

Re: WILLE's relationship to their pilots. (Mild Spoilers)
Khara released model sheets for Wille's landing crew on one of their twitter accounts. I can't remember if it was the main one or khara2.
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!
