Unit 01 - Tumblr Posts
I wanna make some anime patches for animes I think are just a bit punk for my crust pants but I can’t pick one for neon genesis (ima do “see you space cowboy” for cowboy bebop)
I fucking love the idea of Shinji becoming an angel of nephlim in some form, so fucking much.
Like it pushes him closer to being like Kaworu, it kinda shows a loss of humanity, and kinda the effects of his repeated sacrifice when he pilots; and especially after the Zereul fight, seeing Shinji's body now reflecting the evolution and loss of humanity that Unit 01 has following its merge with the S² engine.
Also it just looks and feels dope as hell! The idea of Shinji being left not entirely human after Unit 01 reconstituted him, and him becoming the very thing he's been fighting against. Shinji after giving everything he had left, breaking his promise to never pilot again, choosing to get back in and fight again showing the last of his humanity dying with him as Zereul stabs him, and letting him be reborn as some form of angel-human (a nephlim?), and also the idea of shinji having like the core red eyes, and controlling unit 01 (like Kaworu controlling 02), also just looks so cool to me. And I feel like it kinda shows a better version of "The Curse of the EVA" that they mention
Like I loved that in Rebuild 2.0 and 3.0+1.0
Started a painting of Unit 01. I've put about 9 hours into it so far and still have quite a bit to do, but I'm pretty excited about how it's turning out so far.
