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

[Kira-Kira! Kira-Kira!]

No I don't. I mean besides Asuka and Rei, the new suit is the worst of the ladies.

Well they DO look alike minus the woman chest, long hair, and glasses.

[Gwendolyn]

Wow, honestly I'm just amazed at the trailer, and I really wasn't expecting Asuka's last name to be changed from Soryu to Shikinami, but then again, it does make sense, and it further explains Asuka's hatred of Ayanami

[Nerlou]

That gives whole new meaning to ship to ship corabat...

It looks fantastic regardless of any name issues or anything else.

Nice boat?

[hamrogers]

No, Maya is Shinji's look-alike.

Mari is most likely Kaworu's "sister" or another triple-agent.

*ahem*

OMGZNOES! THEYCHANGEDZ TEH NAEM! EVA IS SOOOO RUINED FER MI NWO! ANNO AND GAYNAZ SUX LOLOLOLZ!

And that's basically the reaction the internet seems to having now....well, the insane half anyway.

[The Dude From the Hood!]

But...but I know those 2 things already :P

[Pradeep Kumar]

Fantastic Trailer.

[tito88]

Shinji isn't emo. He's pretty cool.

[C-lustin]

Didn't Asuka's original name kind of hint at the fact she'd be born and/or raised outside of Japan?

Honestly, why? It's like a reverse of when Tomino used the MSG movies to distance Amuro from being of Japanese birth which was apparently forced on him during the TV run. Is there something offensive about having a non-Japanese Eva pilot now?
