14 Years Later, They Finally Make EVA Unit-05

I really have no desire to put the new Evangelion after the jump, but after getting scolded for spoiling J. Jonah Jameson’s ascension to mayor in Spider-man, I suppose there are probably a few of you who want to keep the new EVA Unit debuted in the next Evangelion movie a surprise. So there. You’re welcome. The rest of you, hit the jump and get ready to be underwhelmed.

Yawn. It’s got four legs and green. You know, I was marginally excited by seeing the new Evangelion movies, because I greatly enjoyed the original TV series (confession: I also prefer the cheap-out TV series ending over the beautifully animated but in my opinion deeply flawed original movies) and I was looking forward to seeing it again with new animation. But now that there’s going to be a new EVA pilot and this new Evangelion, it’s clear to me that this whole thing is just Gainax pimping out the series yet again in another naked cash-grab. Frankly, I preferred it when they were just making hilariously inappropriate figures of Rei and Asuka — at least they were being honest about their motives then. (Via Japanator)
