Evangelion 3.0 (Lack of) Updates

[The Imperialist]

That is why I put it in small letters. This is just me complaining about my life, and letting off steam. Small letters for a reason.


I am guessing no news about DVD and what not release for Eva films.
Also, I do hope 3.0 and 4.0 are not a two part thing.

[Jinroh]

I do hope they are a two parts things. Because once that's released, it'll probably be definitively over.

He so lives in Kamakura.

Him living at his studios are all LIES.

I'm amazed, is that a version of NME 02's design that doesn't look retarded?

[Draconis]

It's kind of sad when this is the biggest news for months and months.

But news is news I suppose.

What you takin' 'bout, Willis? EVA-02's design never looked retarded.[/list]

[Gendo'sPapa]

I wonder if this means unit 02 will be back for the next film. She was pretty rugged & broken down at the end of 2.0

Less so than she was at the end of ep19

Doesn't deviate from the 2.0 model in any way that I can see (that can't be attributed to personal style).

[Trajan]

I hate to say it, but Unit 02 looks pretty damn ugly right there.

That's not Unit-02. That's (EVA:02'β)/(P.M.).

[Reichu]

That's not Unit-02. That's (EVA:02'β)/(P.M.).

I guess that confirms an upgrade. The ' means "upgraded", but... β? P.M? (What happened to alpha and A.M.?)

EDIT: Seele00 in IRC suggested that "PM" just stands for "Production Model". Probably correct.

[The Imperialist]

So mass production of Evas. Oh the joys of the military-industrial complex.

Or probabaly just repackaging.

Squeezing all that flesh and magical rods back into the armor must have been a massive PITA.

I don't really see them giving it a major redesign. Maybe they'll pop in that extra torso armor section that Mark-06 has if SEELE is the one doing the fixing, or if Gendo decides to infringe on their patents. That way the toys can share the molds!

I find it funny that after more than two years, this is the only official anything anywhere with an Evangelion 3.0 logo.

Either way, (sad, sad) excitement!

[Reichu]

I don't really see them giving it a major redesign.

Well, if adding pylons (and ???) qualified Eva-00 for a prime, Eva-02 has to get enough changes to qualify her for a prime AND a Greek letter.

Somehow I'm sure that I'm going to miss these new modifications as well. Go Anno, amaze me with this new Eva-02!
Nice illustration, though. Thanks a lot for posting it, Noriko is my wife.

[Shogo-Kun]

This line is quite haliarious when taken out of context!

[Hyper Shinchan]

^ you're right but I wasn't sure about it, is it fine if I say only Noriko?
