Well, they weren't kidding about some stuff being a shot for shot remake. I swear to god, if this is identical to the original series but just prettier, Anno is gonna have some serious explaining to do.
But seeing amazing animation like that.... it's just cool to think of Evangelion with a budget this time around!

No Ritsuko being a bitch? Darn hope that doesn't happen. My favortie frame from the trailer was Eva Unit-01 walking. The way it moved seemed and the music itself seemed to show an endless cycle of pain that never ends.

Mon Jul 09, 2007 11:46 pmI gotta say the trailer was wicked. I was really sold on the look of Tokyo-3 coming out of the ground. It's one of those scenes that just looked unbelelievably cinematic! And great to see Anno is still keeping his random shots of powerlines and towers- I love those.
Favorite shot? Have to be Shamshel and his jittery bug legs. I've always loved what he did for the characters but I've found the Angel itself to be kinda lame and unimpressive. Those bone white legs just make me shudder.

And now, my post:That's not the prettiest screener I've been privy to.
The look for Shamshel's arms reminds me of Asari's Ye Olde Concept Drawing:

Not digging the legs. And, yeah, 'ki, I don't see a mouth, either.

It's not as if they have any excuses for holding back this time.
