In West Philadelphia born and raised...

Shootin' some b-ball outside the school, when a couple of Angels were up to no good....

You guys are great.

 

[Tenumi]

Whoops, somebody shut off the greenscreen...

 

[BassForever]

Does Mari play a bigger role in 3.33? Or is she just as pointless?

[foxuzamaki]

Why is Mari in this film again?

to fuel more eva doujins, which has never slowed down

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Look at all that green!

 

[bobbychalkers]

Why is Mari in this film again?

....even I don't remember. I saw 2.22 last year and I forgot all about her until she crashed in.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

It's Unit-03. It's being sent to Japan after the destruction of Unit-04.

where did that big explosion come from though?

 

[Future Foundation]

Why is Mari in this film again?

Gotta have that uber-violent/sexual deviant loving audience.

 

[CrazyTank940]

The most evil Skype call in the world

 

[Azure J]

Oh, so now I finally get to see the intrigue that led to the biggest thing everyone wanted to do in anime around the early 00s. Instrumentality.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Asuka getting shelved.

Which one is Bowie?

It's obviously Gendo.

 

[yami4ct]

Ehh? I thought that was a joke. WTH!

Anno is one of the most vocal haters of typical anime watchers, the whole moe and shipping movements of the fandom and the direction of modern anime in general. He's been like this since the days of the original show.

 

[thetechkid]

Mari > Askua.

This is true all day everyday.

 

[Zonic]

OH MAN, BEST SCENE RIGHT HERE GUYS!!

.....oh, it's not the minute long silence version...

 

[Amikami]

Well Asuka's as pissed as usual.

 

[Jintor]

The god damn vatican has so much goddamn political power

 

[Shard]

Seriously, does Mari add anything useful to these Rebuilds?

 

[Jafku]

Mari > Askua.

This is true all day everyday.

No

 

[Moaradin]

Oh yea this elevator scene.

I loved how awkwardly long it was in the series.

 

[BatDan]

In the anime, this went on waaaaaay longer.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Asuka has a point, Rei. what do you know about human emotions

 

[Tenumi]

This is a happy elevator.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

You guys are great.

<3

 

[heliosRAzi]

Seriously, does Mari add anything useful to these Rebuilds?

Short answer: No.

Long answer: No.

 

[MetatronM]

That wide shot in the elevator was only about 60 seconds shorter than it was in the TV show.

 

[Branduil]

Why is Mari in this film again?

At least in the Japanese dub she's voiced by Maaya Sakamoto, so there's that.

 

[BassForever]

I like how we have a big budget and we still reference the infamous shot of Asuka and Rei standing in an elevator

 

[Shizzlee]

FUCK HER UP. SHE NEEDS HER SHIT SMACKED.

 

[CrazyTank940]

Oh hey, Mass Effect is done loading

 

[Schadenfreude]

Snap. Rei ain't having none of that shit.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Bitch pls

 

[TheChits]

Damn Asuka got shut down

 

[Jintor]

Dorothy plz

SYMBOLISM

 

[Shard]

At least this time around this was animated.

 

[Man God]

better a doll than a tomato...

 

[yami4ct]

Does Mari play a bigger role in 3.33? Or is she just as pointless?

Spoiler

Pretty pointless in 3.33, but I'm still betting horrible things will happen to her in 4.0 so Anno can troll all her "fans".

 

[Kaizer]

SHE FEELS WARM INSIDE

 

[B-Dubs]

Rei please...

 

[SousedLouse]

The god damn vatican has so much goddamn political power

Yeah, this is where the political angle starts to crop up in the most blunt way possible.

Spoiler

I preferred the Jet Alone stuff from the original series, really.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

HOW DARE YOU WANT TO MAKE SOMEBODY HAPPY

 

[heliosRAzi]

That wide shot in the elevator was only about 60 seconds shorter than it was in the TV show.

Anno really loves those long stretches in which nothing happens

 

[Azure J]

Rei

:'3

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Shinji x Rei FOREVA

 

[Amikami]

Anno is one of the most vocal haters of typical anime watchers, the whole moe and shipping movements of the fandom and the direction of modern anime in general. He's been like this since the days of the original show.

Frankly,...I don't blame him.

 

[thetechkid]

Oh hey, Mass Effect is done loading

It never really finishes loading if you think about it.

Anno saw this and he used 2.22 as a tool to show up that the elevator of life loads for life.

In Anno We Trust.

She has fans?
