Mari got her arms back

I wonder if the legs are hiding any surprise, as 4444C crushed them in the first 10 minutes.


Looks like some inspiration was taken from Anima for that redesign.

I thought that at first, but we can't rule out that lighting is playing a part there...
In any case, the chest plates of Eva 08 Beta were orange...

They could have just used some of the spare Unit-02 parts they find in Paris to fix Unit-08, but didn't have time to repaint it, thus giving it a mismatched color scheme.

They're just generic "Production Type Eva Compatible" parts, not intended for any specific unit.

Pretty interesting how neither the lantern, nor this frame or the teaser show Unit 08's legs under the knees.

One may think there is something they are hiding. :rolleyes:

Or they don't intend to change the lower leg armor from what we see in the preview, as it's feet are already redesigned from what we've seen previously.
Also, the upper leg armor doesn't really look all that different from Uni 08-Beta in 3.0.

Unit-8's legs were crushed by the 4444C drill in AVANT1, so I won't exclude the possibilty of having Unit-08 with some sexy Bayonetta-like gun feet in the second part of the movie

You... You're kidding, right?
No markings? The feet were pointing the other way around! The calves were twisted like red vines! :uhh:

EDit: Dammit Reichu! Beat me to it :lol:

Sorry, geez. I couldn't tell that in the low quality version I watched. My bad.
