>>4267736>Imagine Rei getting paralyzed with fear and not wanting to harm the only person who treated her like a human, all while unit-01 thrashes unit-00 and/or tries to pry open the armor to its plug.Better yet having both of them freak the fuck out & Misato almost have an aneurysm from dealing with the mental breakdown coming from Asuka, Rei's apathy and willingness to die instead of hurt Shinji, and not knowing what's going on the Shinji inside the plug. All the while I'm assuming the bridge staff are probably shitting their collective pants.
>Misato's reaction would be juicy too. She's entirely focused on Shinji while everyone around her has already written him off and is ready to kill unit-01. cant imagine she'd have much fun there.Yeah I can imagine a reverse of Shinji's panic when he was being eaten by Leilel on Misato's end. Perhaps she draws her USP on one of the NERV staff trying to authorize a kill order on unit 01 out of sheer mania.
> I think youre right about the rough drafts, way more interesting than what we got. Ive heard it thrown around that the reason a lot of that got cut is that the production drama surrounding the initial planning of 3.0 caused Anno to scrap everything he had, in which case its a shame. Really cant say im happy with what we got over the glimpses of what was planned at the time 2.0 ended.If it's any consolation aside from the FoI virus I think in interviews Anno has said most things in that preview are canon and did happen in between 2.0 & 3.0. That visual of unit 06 or 09 floating down to TD with a halo is probably my favourite shot from that preview along with the Kaji gun frame.
