The infamous elevator scene, because of Rei's expression.

My mum walked by once and said, "That's a nice picture'.

Also in this episode, Misato claims that Asuka cannot synch because of her period - I like how she just blurted it out.

The guy on the far right makes me laugh.

Background girl behind Hikari.

Also everything Pen Pen does ever.

Lol animation screw ups

I don't know if I'd call stylistically simplified character designs for the background "animation screw-ups". Take a look at other scenes in the classroom. It's obvious they're not using the same design for some of the random nobodies in the background.

That isn't stylistic. That's pure QUALITY. Arms do not look like that.

Have you seen the way the rest of background characters are drawn throughout the movie? Main characters included? Would be one thing if they're inbetween frames but these are static.

Or is it that the arm, which is extending toward the camera, which lacks shading, seems like it's some super short arm?

this isn't Studio 4C production or anything. As far as I can remember most of the time the hands don't look... wrong

There's nothing wrong with the hand/arm, it's extending TOWARD the camera (you know, like how Asuka has a super short arm, but she's holding something so we know it's extending toward the camera). There are hokey bits of this style all throughout the movie. Kensuke, Toji, Shinji, during the far away shots in the streets, in front of the preservation plant's door, essentially, anytime one of those characters aren't the focal point of a shot and are in the background at a certain distance.

It would be one thing if it was just one scene (like Kaji's character design in the train station added for 2.22), but this is consistent throughout the movie.

Need to see the actual animation to tell about the arm, but the face and the dress also look kind of odd to me.

Also, while we're on the subject, Bardiel's arms? RIDICULOUS. ARMS DO NOT LOOK LIKE THIS.

The fact that Gendo has all these chairs and Fuyutsuki is still standing up made me giggle.

That's a waiter, Aiko.

Gendo having a private, staffed dining hall in his New Age Sephirotica Funk Zone Chamber that only he uses is pretty funny in and of itself.

I am vaguely disappointed. It reminds me of the 'Fuyutsuki's office thread,' and the strange, incorrect belief that somebody held that Fuyutsuki never sits down.

Birth defect, called it right now.

No, the perspective is simply odd. It must have just been drawn wrong. She is a background character after all. Perhaps she was left like that because they thought that the audience would be more preoccupied with watching Shikinami and Hikari, not analysing the students in the background.
