The top three will probably be Asuka, Kaworu, Rei in this order if the EVA STORE poll from last year is indicative

The EVA-EXTRA app put out a pretty good recording of the Avant Presentation online. It’s a recording from the presentation so you can hear the audience and it’s not as clean as if they just released the clip online BUT the camera is stable and you get a pretty clear look at the sequence.
And French subtitles if you speak the language.

(At least, I think this is new)

Was there anything special and/or new in the commentaries of the NTE streams or was that just some people having fun?

Apparently Its not a coincidence that the bridge resembles a head as the identity of whose or what´s head is obscured in the descriptions.

The leading stroke is emerging slightly so maybe it's just アダムズ? The blackout isn't going to hide a similarity that's quite so plainly obvious, so maybe it's actually a term we haven't been exposed to yet. Dunno.

Huh. He posted the art of Asuka and Mari wearing the DSS chokers again. I wonder if they'll actually be canonized.

^ That’s the big question. A lot of people have been theorizing that they’ve been hiding their collars under their plug suits. I also wonder if Shinji and Asuka went through the same process when they were extracted from being trapped in their respective Evas. I don’t think Shinji went through anything at Wille that Asuka hasn’t already gone through to some extent.

maybe the lore is that, when they realized that all the pilots are dangerous af, they put them chokers on, and getting them off of them was something they had to earn.

Wow..... I've seen the film countless times and never once has had that idea crossed my mind when it's such an obvious concept. It would actually make perfect sense that the collar is not Shinji specific but is something every pilot outside NERV's influence has to wear and 3.0 as is supports that.
Throughout 3.0 we never see Asuka or Mari in anything but their plugsuits and when the collar is triggered in the third act Kaworu's suit is covering it.

Oooh, that's an exciting though! Shinji argues early in Thrice about how Misato putting a collar on him was a sign she didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore and then Asuka just sighs and pulls down the neckline of her plugsuit a little (or a lot if they're still doing fan service fan service) to show she's been wearing a collar the whole damn time.

Few years ago I had something to say about the Idea of all Pilots wearing DSS Chokers. Even if it was like pouring salt on a teared open wound.

Though I think even if this turns out false, there could be other measures taken against Asuka and Mari, if they jeopardize everyone.
I carry out things right to the end. No. Matter. What.

I mean, think about it. Shinji woke up in a large coffin-shaped device surrounded by a bunch of other tech, looking very similar to the one Asuka was placed in after being trapped in Unit 03 in 2.22. There are obvious visual parallels between Asuka and Shinji’s story in this regard. I would not be surprised (but still be super stoked) if their stories were parallel in other ways as well.

There's a sexy TV spot for Abema's airing/streaming (?) of the first three Rebuilds in this tweet.

I’m getting a lot of strong Death & Rebirth trailer vibes from this video.

Collabs keep coming. Tsurumaki drew an electric-guitar wielding Asuka for Fender Magazine's cover this month.

^Its not just art, they just released a special edition Asuka Telecaster (though a Gibson SG might've been a better fit for her and Rebuild Unit 02)

Rei not being higher is kind of depressing to me, all things considered.

Guess Anno's ploy to tear down Rei in 3.33 to get people to view her like he does (creepy and unsympathetic) while getting people to instead like the two he prefers way more and considers far more worthy of being with Shinji worked. If the poll is any indication, I doubt Rei will be treated with anything but contempt in FINAL, given how much Anno hates her.
Proud fanboy of Rei Ayanami. :p
