"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

Archer666 posted:

I'd still rather have this than the 50 foot Asuka in high heels from ANIMA.

That sounds terrible is it terrible?



Yeah that looks pretty terrible. But is it really as bad as it looks?

an Eva Wiki posted:

Asuka, who's 17 in ANIMA, has fully recovered from her mental trauma she suffered during the end of the anime. She's now very cheerful and cares a lot for Shinji and even for Rei, something that would have been unbelievable 3 years ago. She still pilots Unit-02 which is later modified into the Evangelion Unit-02 Type II.

When Asuka (piloting her Eva-02 Allegorica) got infected by some unknown ancient living organisms during her fight against Armaros on the Moon, she somehow merged with her Eva, resulting in the creation of a Human-Evangelion Synthesis.

The best description for her would be that of a giant woman with Evangelion-like details throughout her body than an Eva per se. She sports an all-red armor, despite the fact that Asuka was using the silver-armored Eva-02 Allegorica at the time of her infection. She still uses the Allegorica but the unit is now part of her own body, being her "hair". That means that she is now able to fly whenever she wants. She also still has an Entry Plug, even though it is virtually useless.

The main problem for this entity is her behavior. She has more or less the mentality of a baby, toying with tanks and having next to no knowledge about the world.

She was nicknamed "Crimson A1" by NERV JAPAN, much to Hikari's dismay. The latter told the others to call her "Asuka" in order to return her to her former human self. After a failed attempt to bring back Asuka to her normal self, she was absorbed into another dimension.

She would later come back as an enemy as the Torwartα1'. The latter has virtually the same appearance as Crimson A1 but with a black and a much darker red color scheme.

I see. ANIMA strikes me as basically fully-sanctioned fanfic designed to extract money from Eva fans through new models Evas with even dumber names

I got about 15 'episodes' in and realized it was Cargo Cult Eva without any of the charm of the original. poo poo like "Rei.Quattro then psychically reaches out to Rei Prime and the combined power of their AT Field causes the Eva 0.æon to deactivate and be retrieved by the Eva 00-Fulltype on the moon before the Sphere of Longinus..."

Finally something that makes Eva-R seem good.

i have kinder feelings towards fanfiction than most goons probably, but the problem with Evangelion fanfiction in particular is that it's only possible to write good Evangelion if you desperately want NOT to be Shinji, Asuka, Misato, etc.

that just looks like a heavily armored Unit 02 with some little unit 01 shoulder things? 8+2 was the split down the middle one from the preview at the end of 333 which means it will never be seen again or get redesigned.

Its basically really dumb fan-fiction yes. It also got an official English release six months ago if you're feeling masochistic, which I'm not (yet).

The TV series used dream sequences where Shinji was waiting on a train as the medium for him to have conversations with with mother before her identity was explicitly revealed. An empty railroad track echoes that, although it's not really anything new relative to all the hints in Rebuild 3 that she's been gone from Unit-01 (if not gone period) for quite some time.

I always said that 2.22 went notably off the rails so it will be interesting if that idiom holds and that key visual relates. I'd like to see the loop theory addressed, "This time" and whatnot.

might be based on a sega saturn game character which is pretty funny.

Ah, Rebuild 2.22, which has some of my favorite music to come from Evangelion, especially during the Zeruel fight

2EM31_0948 ''In My Spirit'' (Zeruel appears)
2EM32_0910 ''Keep Your Head Above The Mayhem'' (Mari joins the fight)
2EM33_0902 ''The Final Decision We All Must Take'' (02 Beast Mode)
2EM36_16 & Sin From Genesis (2EM36) (which lacks the main melody at 0:21 in _16) (01's Arousal)

The children's choirs for Bardiel and Near Third Impact were a nice touch too

a few weeks ago someone on my twitter was tweeting about how there are no Big Robot fighting games and mentioned that a game where you can fight as all of the Eva units and (most of the) angels would be really cool, and I realized that I think we missed out on a late-era SNES sprite-based fighting game for Eva that would go along with all of the other anime fighters from that period, just really bad and only made with the first 13 episodes in mind so all the weird non-canonical arcade mode endings are hilarious in retrospect and they somehow came up with a moveset for Ramiel who is randomly the same size as all the Evas

someone should make that in the same engine they used to make that Gundam game that got repurposed into a Power Rangers game, that's exactly what level of quality I'm talking about.

Tech Romancer kicked rear end and is one of my favorite Dreamcast games. All of the fighters were mechs that were very obvious homages to existing media properties from super robots like Mazinger to real robots like Macross. One of them was pretty clearly an Eva, and I remember it having a progressive knife as an item, as well as a lance of Longinus.

I've loved this image for a long time because it's incredible theory bait.

My idea on this one is: Red glasses on the right is Asuka's mom, and Mari is cloned from her.

I don't know of any information that says otherwise as to who that even is. The latter part is pure :tinfoil: though. The idea comes from Mari being able to pilot 02 in a pinch for the same kind of reason that Rei can pilot 01.
