Eva 3.33 notes:

Hey new character design. Uh, hey new everything design. Hey butch Ritsuko. Is that flagship the fucking Nadesico?

Aw, they worked puffy underwater Unit 02 in!

Hahahahaha holy shit its Nadesico AND Ragnarok and at least 8 more references off this and most of them probably refer back to something I missed and man fuck steampunk I forgot how amazing Japanese airship design was

Finally, after 2 movies of useless, absurdly massed Cold War ordinance, we get useful post-nuke bioform guns, that’s some pretty classic anime themes right there.

“So that’s the power to kill God” - haha yussss, this is all getting pretty Utena

Yuss, yussssss, this is what I miss growing up with ‘90s Japanese pop culture - fuck all that 2000s indulgent moe/visual kei glam bullshit - rococo and biomechanical and dieselpunk design and elegant piano and German romantic esotericism and beautiful clear wistful summer days in the middle of absurdly huge ruins, yuss, this is what life was supposed to be and what I was supposed to die about

Wait does that SDAT player’s cord on the ground read “foe” in cursive?

Kaworu and Shinji DPing the Eva with their plugs OBVIOUSLY

Uhh… what?

No seriously, what? I see we’re now firmly into the “incomprehensible apocalypse” part of an Eva story cycle.

Oh god the preview looks like someone’s FINALLY going to dance like they want to win BRILLIANT
