2.0 Angels Discussion

[Napul]

ukulelembo: That's a fanwork with all the images of the Angels together, right?

No, this is the screen for some magazine.

Guess there is no "We are the 18th Angel" this time around.

[JimmyWolk]

I thought there was going to be 12 Angels total, Kaworu one of them, not 13.

Well, that was mostly just speculation anyway, due to the ambiguity of Gendo's "8 more" line (did he count Ramiel in? Or Boniel?) and people wanting to see a connection with the 12 apostles. There hasn't (/hadn't, if this is official) been an official number.

[Reichu]

Also, 可能性高 refers to potentiality. Adams being 1st and Kaworu being 13th is speculative.

(Also also, looks like we got ourselves a mystery character named "Aihara-kun". Someone can resurrect one of the ancient pre-Mari "ZOMG NEW CHARACTERS IN WEBUILD" threads for random speculations. I'm additionally too lazy to read up on the Japanese grapevine for stuff on this person right now.)

[JimmyWolk]

Tunniel - I guess it worked for what it was. Still, "new Angel/EVA" was pretty much just for marketing, it seems.

Clockiel - Disappointing, definitely more so than Tunniel. Aside from also just being a plot device to introduce a new chara, it didn't even do a good job on that. Clean and efficient fighting is one thing, but why not at least show some reactions of the pilot? Sure, they didn't want to introduce Asuka before her dramatic pose, but they didn't really do so with Mari either until her fight ended - though even there they had to rely on the visor for that. Is it that hard just to show the lower half of the face, a flash of a superior grin, etc?

Sahaquiel - very disappointing to me on several levels. 1) The music - the new "catch" song is more dramatic, but it doesn't convey the haste (which is far more important in that scene) at all. 2) The speedramps - NERV seems to have pretty much everything prepared in advance. 3) The look - might be due to the low quality, but it looked like from an N64 game. "Better" than the original in design maybe, but not in execution. 4) Did it really need a face to play to tug with Shinji?

Bardiel - well, was Bardiel. Didn't affect me quite as bad as I thought it would (not so much because I was spoiled, but I thought it to be much worse for me especially because of the "special" circumstances - in fact I think the overall movie made me care less about it than if I had seen it on its own (I guess I put more on the Shikinami thread for this though). The children's song was also less chilling than I expected - was a bit too "normal" instead of totally "cute and harmless" to properly contrast the fight.
And not enough screaming... *pout*

I think I covered Zeruel already earlier...>_>

Somebody please translate the content of the image.

[Reichu]

Somebody please translate the content of the image.

Give me a higher-res version, I'd be happy to.

[Rayshiest]

wel Reichu/ Shinji, what do you think about my angel's fanart?? pretty close huh

[Otakon 08 Ikari]

Dang, pretty good man. Looks more or less just like it. I could not get a good look at the Tunnel Angel but I did see a fat thing floating up a hole.

[Rayshiest]

when she pins it to the side of the base you can see the giant bumble bee type body shriveled up right before eva-05 self destructs

[Electric Sachiel]

cant believe I drew 5 angels...took me over 9000 hours on MSpaint.
heres the last one.


there is some golden pope/ light bulb thing on his head keeping him asleep I guess...looked really awesome but brief...

LOL. that reminds me of a voodoo doll. Meh. Carry on....

[Otakon 08 Ikari]

So is the above image met to be Adam?

[schismatics]

No that's the "Key to Nebuchadnezzar" which has taken over Adam's box.

[Rayshiest]

Yeah they never call it Adam, but then again they dont say its official name is "Nebu's Key" neither. I think Gendo was speaking metaphorically as it's the key to releasing mankind from god's grip.

[Lagann]

Heres a crappy picture of bardiels extra arms

It looks like a circular system on a hyperdermic needle to me.

[catinajar]

It looks like a circular system on a hyperdermic needle to me.

That is DEFINITELY a hyperdermic.
No idea what that circular business is at the top, but it's attached to a syringe.

Addendum, it looks like Eva 03 (aka Bardiel)'s arms look like they BEGIN red, and become flesh coloured. It looked like there was a jagged line halfway down that distinguished between the two shades. What this means I have no clue, but it's an observation.
Just my take.

[Logan Payne]

How can anyone tell...It's all yellowy white, with white blotches on the right.

[catinajar]

I have NO idea what the circular thing is, but that on the right, to me, looks like a hyperdermic needle. The white bits look like the plunge on a syringe or the plastic bits on a canular (something you insert into someone to feed fluid into the vein, usually a drip).
Obviously I could be wrong.

[Rayshiest]

its not needle, I know that for a fact. its a circulatory system with some Nerv mechanism keeping him subdued. it was really huge on the big screen.

[catinajar]

I envy you for having seen this film on the big screen, but all I can say is that from where I'm sitting it looks like a hyperdermic syringe.
I don't even think that's the important but, I want to know what's on the end of it!
If it's a circulatory system, do you mean a mini HUMAN circulatory system?
