"Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance" News and Speculation Thread (SPOILERS!)

[Games and Else]

I like the spider-legs. Hate the plug-suit's "skirt."

Note that, one again, the designs have taken the implicit meaning from earlier visuals and reworked them so the meaning behind them enRAB up overly obvious. First it was the devil horns of Eva Unit 02, now Mari's plug-suit (before, plug-suits had implicit parallels with the Angel designs) is explicity similar to Sachiel's design. It's a little too obvious for my tastes.

Do you see those cones, though? Seriously, the reserablance is almost uncanny.

[Questioned Mind]

Well, now that you bring it up, the similarity is definitely there.

Hasn't it already been established that Gainax is just a bunch of perverts?

Discuss.

Let's discuss Asuka's new name.

Come on, you know you like it.

[State of Panic]

They renamed her? Where is this?

[bearfox_traders]

She does have a bit of Nagato hidden in that face. Thing is, she just looks bored. Maybe it's her design but it might just be me.

It was revealed in the trailer credits. Asuka Shikinami, named after the battleship that fought with the Ayanami.

[The Vivacious]

Maybe I'm thinking too much into this but what if the new girl ..... is like Shinji's double in personality she looks emo enough to pull it off. And here's another thought......what if she is Shinji's new love interest instead of Asuka.
