Evangelion: 2.0 scans cause Third Impact to happen in my pants photo

SRW Hotnews found some awesome scans that sample some of the art in Evangelion: 2.0 You Can [Not] Advance, set to be released in theaters June 27th. These images were found in the newest issue of Dengeki Hobby Magazine, and feature (slight) changes in character and mecha design. The first thing to catch your eye is probably the new character, Makinami Mari, voiced by Maaya Sakamoto.

I’m guessing she pilots the new Eva Unit-05, aka. Cell Mecha Spidergelion. Man, this movie is going to be completely different than the original anime, which is a good thing because I’d rather experience something new, rather than something I can always watch. Check out the scans in the gallery below. [General spoiler warning here]

OMG Bad ASS!

That ain't Mana. That's Makinami Mari Illustrious, a brand new character exclusive to the Rebuild movies.

God Len

ah i see, gomen! They look sort of alike.

All three of the comments in that picture can be switched around freely!

"Bad Ass!"

Ok, since no one else seems to have the guts to say it, I will. Eva Unit 05 is ugly as sin. Green? sure. Wheels? well it sorta worked for the Guntank so ok. But Green, quadruped, and not even really a quadruped because they're wheel leg hybrids? What the hell... Some of the most ridiculous SRW robots look less retarded than that.

As for Makinami, ok... she seems like she could be cool. Hopefully she'll be less of a jerk than Asuka...unless they actually revamped Asuka, gave her a dere-dere side, and cut back a bit from her constant Louise level tsun-tsun.

@ Heero
I'm with you. EVA-05 truly is an abomination of a mech.

As for Gendou showing his emotions, this could actually be really interesting. After all, Gendou was originally a reflection of Anno's appearance and state of mind, and as far as I know Anno's not the same person he was 14 years ago. Not to say this one image confirms Gendou's personality has been altered for the better, but I wouldn't put it past Anno. Can't say it showed in Rebuild 1.0 though.

Mari (Mary, possibly?) looks nice. And since we know her personality won't coincide with Asuka and Rei's (golden rule of EVA #1: No two characters can ever be the same), she might actually be a very nice person to boot. That is, if we could just forget about golden rule of EVA #2: All characters have at least one huge weakness or flaw with their personality, all of which are horribly exposed before the end of the series.

I like that they didn't just make EVA-05 the same with a different paintjob! I can't wait to see that monstrocity in action! Evageeks has an image in her plugsuit which also happens to be drastically different! Can not wait!!

@PBz0r: Who knows, her flaw might just be that she's a little bit clumsy... or that she's actually nice to Shinji... (hey, some people might consider that a flaw, lol)

Yaku

Shinji has different clothes? OMFG

By the way the only reason I clicked on this is because you put that Shinji scan right there. I just bypass through Rei and Asuka.
