If Gendo is in EVA-13, I'm guessing its either Fuyutski in there with him, or for the ultimate betrayal...Pen-Pen is the co-pilot. SQUAAAWWWWKKKKK.

it's one of those things that yeah, it's super simple and cliche, but it would also have me like "you know what, this actually is the perfect ending to Evangelion after all of these decades."

The more I think about the more I think it actually might just work, too. Especially since....who else is Gendo gonna get to pilot it, anyway? Fuyutsuki? A pair of Rei clones? A fuckin' dummy plug?

Gendo plus a Rei clone that he sucked Yui’s soul into since it’s not in Unit 01 anymore maybe?

The only real answers I can even think of that aren't totally nuts twists are Rei Q, Rei from 1.11, 2.22, a Rei clone/Dummy Plug, or Kaworu suddenly alive. They could explain around the twin plug entry stuff but if not, Mecha-Gendo + Fuyutsuki/Dummy Rei could do it if not just Gendo himself. And with all the poo poo Gendo has done so far, I think it could work

At the climactic moment of their duel, Gendo forces Shinji to unite with him and reverse-engineer their way into reviving Yui... who promptly drops the biggest twist: she never was the soul powering Unit 01 in Rebuild’s canon, it’s original series Shinji (or something just as batshit)

Yo that's sick as gently caress and I'm torn between Gendo using a Rei to pilot it, using his RoboKheel parts to be like "I hold two souls in my body" and solopiloting it, or just loving resurrecting Yui somehow

And maybe just for super gently caress you to everyone it's Yui in Gendo's body the whole time

At this point when I see dubious looking anime CG, especially in a movie as big as this one, with the kind of lead-up time it has, I have to wonder if it's a stylistic choice. Unless the people at Arc System Works are actually wizards or something, it should be possible to make things look a bit less... egregious.

Alternately maybe it's just an unavaoidable downside of trying to retrofit the Eva designs, which are natively hand drawn, into CG. The CG in Promare, for instance, probably looks gorgeous because that's how it was conceived.

ASW artists hand-tune the shaded 3D models frame by frame. So after the modelers go in and plot out how Goku's turtle wave should look, someone else goes in and makes sure it looks consistent.

Anyway, with Eva CGI I'm willing to bet it's adhering to a certain 'looks and might even be constrained by what they were doing with the Evas in Rebuild 1 and 2.

Wow, those CG Eva shots, are...not good. And thats what you put in the trailer? Did they intentionally put in unfinished shots as some kind of ploy to drum up tweets before the release or something?

They have an English poster advertising a January 21st release next year? That's from the official website apparently. Could they be going for a worldwide digital release? Probably being dumb getting my hopes up but drat that would be nice.

I’m positive that’s the case. Having just re-watched them in the build up, the CGI looks exactly of the same quality as the others. Which is a good thing, inconsistency would look really bad if you take this is a a complete work.

I think it’s an intentional choice, because imo the mechanical designs and action sequences have gotten weirder, floatier, and more toylike over time. Anno is akin to a small child playing with his action figures. The first 10 minute sequence of 3.0+1.0 that got screened last year really illustrates this point

e: I wonder how much khara’s transition to using blender for their 3dcg last year affected the production. From the press release it sounded like blender’s grease pencil tool was a big part of the reason they switched

If you think this qualifies as "dubious looking anime CG" then I'm curious as to what good CG would be.
