Reichu: This transition is interesting. In NGE, star fields with a glowing light in the center are, the thinking goes, used to represent the journey into an Eva's core, i.e, contact being established between the resident soul (dwelling within the core and represented by the light) and the Eva's pilot. A red star field is used in conjunction with EVA-00; with EVA-01, blue, as is the case here.
HeWhoPostsStuff: The way that the stars move towards the viewer reminds me a bit of the way they look whenever the Enterprise warps on Star Trek. As you'll find later, though, there's actually at least one definite “Trek” reference hidden in Eva…
