Here's hoping Rebuild gives us either Shinji/(not Asuka) or no pairings at all.

Anno proves once again that he is the undisputed master troll of trolls. Such a simple little change has caused so much butt-hurt! Even -- especially? -- as an Asuka fan, I am vastly amused by the reactions to it

Asuka was always my favorite Eva character.

I don't not like the new name simply because it's a change, I just don't think it sounds as good Asuka Langley Sorhyu, that just sounds a lot better than Asuka Langley Shikinami does.

Still as long as they keep her overall character the same or very similar to it was in the series Im not overly bothered about a simple change of name.

Also it seems Asuka may have been promoted to the rank of Captain :toothy:

also, the name change (and thus greater connection to Rei) makes me suspect that the dreaded test-tube Asuka may be on the horizon.

Maybe at "The End of the Rebuild of Evangelion" we'll find out everyone BUT Shinji is actually an Angel.

EoRoE? Now I have this horrible image of Final being Episodes 25 and 26 all over again, with a special annoucement that the End of Rebuild will be coming out the next year, only to be delayed and released in two parts, with a Rebuild of Death filling out the first part. :P

I actually like the new name. Asuka is still Asuka regardless of the name.
