Concept art pics, I don't think they do the series justice (the characters that is).

[Nico]

Seen them already.
What throws me off are the darn names. Bastards, can't they convert anything w/o americanizing it? I knew they would do that, those tards.
I mean, kate Rose, wtf? Is a name like Asuka so shocking for them little 'ricans?
Bloody idiots.
And WETA is disapointing me: what with the Eva01/Godzilla cross?

[Bobboau]

yeah, that's stupid, the only people who are going to watch this are people who watched the origonal serese/movie, and there all going to be put off majorly by this.

(wonder if they'll try to answer and/or recreate those mind **** endings)

[kode]

budget is huge, so I guess they aim for the general audience. still hope it'll be somewhat good.

The name change and stuff is to widden the audience, so: no.
In the same order of idea, you can bet the angels are gonna become aliens of some sort.
On a side note, it still doesn't have a director, so I hope it's gonna die.

[Fineus]

You never know, I'm optimistic that they'll get someone to do a decent job for it - it has potential to be a really deep film.

Those concept pics looked awsome.  I don't know what you guys are on about.  The names I thought did put me off, but the drawings of the eva's,  esp Eva-01 in that liquid filled chamber looked amazing.

I thought the Angels were aliens?

[TrashMan]

Don't mess with the legend.
I liked Evangelion (alltough only the first 15 or so episode... the ending sucked big time!)

I would personally kill the peron that would thry to make LOTR4 or VoE2 (wel..perhaps not the second one..that depends...but the first one DEFINATELY!)

No they're not.
But I meant the name anyway.

[an0n]

So what the hell are they?

[Bobboau]

uh, angels...

Mmh, don't quite remember to be honest. If we really knew what Adam is, that would be easier to tell but, basically, believe it or not, angels are humans.

[Kamikaze]

They're the "other" humans. Humans were made like Adam, Angels were made like Lilith. Something like that anyway.

[Bobboau]

yeah, just watch the last few eppisodes and the movie again, it couldn't be clearer...
well actualy maybe it could, just a little...

[Liberator]

I don't like how they made Unit 01 look like a slavering, hunch-backed beast.  It's supposed to kind of be a surprise when we find out that the Eva's are actually organic inside.

[Nico]

Hmm, no, you see unit01's head in the second episode already

[Bobboau]

it's actualy one of the better shots of it in the entier serese

[Unknown Target]

Venom, the reason they're using American names is cause it's gonna be released in America, and many Americans are too "patriotic" or simply have trouble memorizing Japanese names (which can be quite hard at times). Plus, American names and giant robot fighting lends for a bigger audience.
EDIT: It reminds me of the situation with the Battlestar: Galactica "remake"

[Nico]

yeah, like Ray is easier to memorize than Rei
