2014-2015 Studio Khara Calendar

[ElMariachi]

Not to mention that, if you remember the Proposal for Evangelion, Asuka was meant to have dark brown hair...and this brings back ugly memories of Bardiel in 2.0.

Nope, Asuka had neck-long hair in the proposal, but still redhead.
You wouldn't be talking about Rei's version in the proposal?

[Mr. Tines]

It's very "uncanny valley" IMO.

The little girl looks to me like she just wandered out of a Ghibli movie. Until I saw the enlarged image, I was wondering which of the characters would be revealed as recent parents of the moppet.

[driftking18594]

I honestly have no idea why I thought that at first, either.

[El Squibbonator]

I honestly hate to necropost, but I think there's more that we can speculate about this calendar and what it could indicate about what to expect in FINAL.

[TMBounty_Hunter]

Well then start speculating :P


In slightly related news, Takeshi Honda will be doing another one of his Movic calendars for 2015:

From what I understand from Google Translate, will this new calendar be released in November, with preview images coming out in September?

[Bagheera]

I would like to know where I could actually get such a calendar.

[Sailor Star Dust]

90% sure CDJapan'll have it. I got a 2010 Eva calendar from them (the one with Shinji and the Eva girls/2-A classmates on the cover).

[El Squibbonator]

Here's my take on the pictures we see and how they might pertain to FINAL:

The Wunder with a fleet of other flying ships, and Shinji next to a huge fortress/city--
This implies that WILLE is not as poorly equipped as we've been led to believe. We never learn exactly who is supplying them with their fancy gadgets, but we might in the next movie

The three pilots on the train track--
If we interpret this as actually happening in the movie, it indicates that the entire planet is not lifeless. It also continues a notable motif from the 3rd movie, in the form of the cat.

Kaworu putting on/taking off a plugsuit--
If Kaworu is in this calendar, and it is being released to coincide with the year (2015) that FINAL will come out, I think this implies that Kaworu will return in some way in the fourth movie.

Just in regards to the cat in the train track one, come guys, it's the same cat as the live action segment of EoE. Yeah an ear may be different or something, but it's clearly supposed to be the same cat.

[pwhodges]

The train tracks themselves may also tie in with the story boards in Sagisu's Peaceful Times petit film. Though the mere existence of train tracks doesn't prove that there are people using them!

[LightDragonman]

Again, are we sure we're not looking too deep into these things?

[pwhodges]

Of course we are. But we've got the time to fill.

I nearly said time to spare, but then I'd be saying that I'm under-employed, wouldn't I!

That may be true, but what I think is interesting is the fact that Rei Q is the only one facing it. Think about it--she's probably never seen an animal.

Very nice. I really love my 2014 version, gotta keep this thing going into 2015. Although they're more poster than calendar. Whatever, Honda can do no wrong.

I would like to know where I could actually get such a calendar.

I got my 2014 version from JList and I remember them being all over amazon as well.

[movieartman]

Anyone have a large scan of that Rei, Asuka, mari pic with the red evas behind them?

[El Squibbonator]

I can't tell which Evas those are supposed to be.

[BlueBasilisk]

From left to right, 02, 08, and 09.

[TMBounty_Hunter]

Really?

Their heads are as clear as they can possibly be. 02', 08 and Mark.09, from left to right.
