Hexon.Arq: What happens when a marshmallow has a baby? The baby is a giant black woman, of course.
Reichu: :lol: Shhhh — you're going to confuse the n00bs!
My, what pretty, manicured nails you have! After showing us EVA-01's face in the last episode, they're subtly beating us over the head by exposing her bare hands this soon after. Unlike her face, however, the hands are spot-on human. Hint-hint, wink-wink, nudge-nudge, say-no-more.
thewayneiac: The human hand under the armor always creeps me out for some reason.
Reichu: Well, what were you expecting?
Mr. Tines: For those who haven't yet figured out that these aren't giant robots, what more data do they need? EVA-01 doing a strip-tease?
HeWhoPostsStuff: That would actually be rather funny… Though I guess trying to be "slinky" is tougher with reinforced metal plates than with cloth… which would make it all the more amusing. "Hang on a sec…just trying to…grrgh…dag nab it… I KNEW the solid titanium thong was a bad idea…"
Reichu: Eva strip-teases could have actually had practical combat-related applications. For example, one Eva strips to distract the Angel (with sexy saxophone music and everything), while the other two sneak up and rush the enemy. Although the matter of getting the armor off without serious dermal damage would be quite a challenge — the stuff is somewhat unpleasantly affixed.
Soluzar: That's OK; assuming that they are stuck on with some kind of a glue, she'll just have to take a nice sexy dip in a hot-tub full of solvent to loosen the adhesive before easing the armour off. I expect it all adds to the moment for the Angel. :lol:
Reichu: Well, here you can see that there are these artificial structures apparently BOLTED directly on the skin of the knuckles, below the blue "dusters". (I don't know why they are flesh-colored, though.) Functionally, they might serve to hold the "dusters" in place, although Nerv certainly doesn't go out of their way to be humane about it.
Looking closely at the edges of her fingers, you can see signs of the heavy burning — the ruddy areas where the skin is melted away. I love shots this detailed.
