Well, so that happened, definitively wasn't in my bingo card. If there's one guy that can make Eva weirder than Anno, it's Yoko Taro. https://x.com/d0nut2x/status/2025919964444557448 Trailer. You definitively can tell the Nier influence in the music, that choir is so much Nier-coded. And Eva-01 look...

Personally, the above take is how I view Asuka in Rebuild. She hasn't been pining for Shinji for 14 years and figured she got over him but I think seeing him again reawakened old feelings in her. We saw in NGE during the mind violation episode and during instrumentality her real feelings towards Sh...

PS: I didn't remember to read the "Shinji shouldn't be held responsible" argument when people thought that the N3I destruction wasn't so big. Maybe even at that time Axx°N N believed Shinji shouldn't be held responsible either, but most people accepted Shinji was responsible for the N3I. ...

8+2 is there too. The Tweet implies that not everything there was going to be used, since there seems to be a spare 02 in there too with pink whites (maybe a textured underwater model?). The first "pink" Unit 02 has the giant life jacket that it used when it booted the Wunder engine at th...

Eva-01 was on Earth during Third Impact because it got cored. The spear was removed prior to Third Impact because it ends up in Lilith/06, and this theoretical window of activation is probably related to the visual appearance of the FoI. Its core erosion effect could also be because it was awakened...

I really doubt SEELE used the Spears for the Third Impact. As we see in the Fourth Impact and Additional Impact in 3.0, the Spears dissapear when these are used for an Impact. It's weird that the Third Impact doesn't need a Spear, but we've seen that Shinji started the Third Impact without Spears i...

True. It's possible the trap with the Mark.04 was added long after Eva-01 was sent into space. As you said, after the Third Impact, SEELE doesn't seem to have any reason to send Eva-01 into the space, since they will need Shinji for the Fourth Impact. I should say WILLE wouldn't have so much reason...

The tesseract always had Neo Nerv branding which is exclusively a post-post-Third Impact thing, and -46h happens only within days of it. Well, there's the possibility that the box containing the trap with the Mark.04 drone was added to the tesseract after it was sent to space: if it was still in SE...

Here's the dialogue in that last set of storyboards. If I don't get one last good punch in on him... 80 It's never going to sit right with me. With this line of dialogue, it really looks like back then Asuka still believed that Shinji could still come back, maybe Unit 01 hadn't been yet sent to spa...

Look at the second pic. This implies Asuka has a scar underneath her hair even in Shin. Interesting. https://twitter.com/khara_inc2/status/1656313151393091585?s=20 Nuke on EGFD says it's a craniotomy scar. They had to remove the angel goo from her brain! Personally I think that this scar might from...

If were talking about recommendations, do you guys know some good fics were Asuka tries to help Shinji overcome his traumas in some of the post EOE ones? The ones I can think of is Unbroken and You are (not) at fault, and I’m wondering if there’s some others like it. In recent and ongoing things, t...

I assume Mark-04's were created after the Third Impact. I think NERV used the remains of Eva-04's core to create the Mark-04's, since they don't have more resources. NERV's situation was better than WILLE's (since WILLE was trying to protect and preserve the human race), but their resources were st...

One last other pilot pairing but separate cause this girl never gets any fanart (Kotone Suzunami from the Evangelion Battlefields game) 014momen102 https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1088146513680683168/1099599262251241563/014momen102-1352462597153382401-20210121_194625-img2.jpg?width=585&...

Seems it was first uploaded here: https://i.imgur.com/uNDX4A5.jpeg From a Reddit thread. The upper right says "Land type" according to Google(kanji are correctly read). The left side says "映画のやつ"(Google would only read 映画 and not the rest) which translates to "Movie guy/fel...

It seems Shin Kamen Rider did not go as well as expected. I guess the "shameless" criticism is because they are using Evangelion merchandise to promote the movie: https://twitter.com/Shin_KR/status/1650333989159284738 I was wondering why would showing -46h in screening be considered as &q...

- ElMariachi: did 3.0 + 1.0 grown on you over time? It seems like you haven't been as bothered by it lately. Not at all, I still disagree with its plot, themes, setting and how it handled most of the characters. It's just that, well, I've already said pretty much everything I had to say, and thus d...

Interesting little tidbits here and there. So -120min was created by Anno's request, I'm curious to know what was his motivation behind that? Also apparently there's more than we thought about the sounds the Wunder makes, I wonder if they meant that there's some meaningful more behind it, or if it's...

What isn't mentioned is that this fits right in for when a fan artist got a C&D letter from Khara telling him to stop his own animation project for - 120min. Add this to other precedents like a guy attempting to translate Anima and getting a similar warning (in this case he contacted Yamashita ...

Personally I took it that the moments when Asuka, Mari and Shinji were "cursed" were in 2.0 when each dived past the safe plug depth (Asuka when Bardiel took control of Unit 03, Mari with Beast Mode and Shinji when he pseudo-awoke Unit 01), each time having Ritsuko commenting that their hu...

Lore-wise doesn't make a lot of sense, meta-wise I feel it's a great fit.

Don't keep it so short, can you expand on what you mean?
By "meta-wise", do you mean of the "moving on from Evangelion" angle?
