Reichu: In general, the characters look quite odd in this episode, Misato and Shinji especially. The first two episodes really established the characters' looks, having been worked on by the principal body of animators — guys like Kazuya Tsurumaki, Masayuki, Takeshi Honda, Shinya Hasegawa, Shunji Suzuki, Hideyuki Morioka, You Yoshinari, etc. Entirely different folks worked on this one, and it shows; stylistically, it's quite different. One really can't blame Masayuki for having the final scene of this ep reanimated for inclusion in "DEATH" — but more on that later.
OMF: Seconded. Some episodes have really strange character designs, and this is one of them. It's not that they're bad, so much as, "not quite right".
Treize X: This is a rather odd shot compositionally, IMO, the way it puts Misato off to the side…She wears earrings to bed?
Mr. Tines: There's a reason they call studs like that "sleepers".
