Why throw it away when you can BURN it?


Schoolbound

IF YOU DISAGREE YOU ARE WRONG.


Entering the classroom

Shinji's already plugged into his music when he walks in; seems like he's gotten even more withdrawn. Alternatively, the other students seem to be vesting a bit more interest from the start (except Kensuke, oddly enough). Toji's being even less subtle than before (an amazing accomplishment, all things considered).

If you didn't notice Shinji's switchover to a backpack previously, there it is.


The Girl by the Window

Straightforward retake. The sling is now tucked beneath Rei's collar, rather than draped over it.


Silently Staring

Shinji's expression seems much less ... "forlorn" in Rebuild.


The Most One-Sided Fist Fight in Tokyo-3

The similarities here are very strong. As in, redrawing-the-original-frames-of-animation strong. Not a single unique frame was left behind. A two-in-one animated GIF for your perusal.


"Sky. Blue sky."

"The sky I see after getting beaten up." Rebuild also adds a cut of Shinji listening to his... SDAT... iPOD... whatever... while he gazes at the sky. (More on that in Other.)


Emergency Call

Shinji seems to have relocated himself to the roof of the school after the run-in with Toji. The whole scene is visually redone from scratch, utilizing the cuts and "camera" differently. A breeze has been added for extra flourish. At least Rei's dialogue is exactly the same. Above are just selected cuts from the scene; a full side-by-side will be put off until more "ideal" source material is available.


Battle Formation!

Shamshel's shift into battle formation is quite different -- and so is Shamshel herself. Note how Shamshel seems to be "unfolding" (rather than simply taking on a vertical posture), as if the bottom of her head had been pressed against the thoracic region and the arthopodian legs are only now being exposed. But without more footage, who knows. The arms have undergone a bit of a ... change -- a bit reminiscent of an alternate scheme for the arm Asari included on one of his original conceptual illustrations for Shammy, in fact. Also note that Shamshel's eye spots are now red. Almost seems like they're trying to reinvent the Angel of Dildoes into something as menacing as possible, and get some good "kimochi warui!" out of the audience while they're at it. But more on that later.

The screencaps here are from the second trailer. The version of the cut found in the second part of the Beautiful World video is composed somewhat differently. (An animation.)


"OH WOW A GIANT PHALLIC ALIEN!"

Toji looks even more clueless in Rebuild.


Ready for Action

The original cut was (probably) handled by the 3rd-string Korean backup animation team -- it don't look so good. Rebuild looks much nicer. Not that you can see it here, but, after exiting the lift, Sho goes "around the bend" instead of straight this time. And...


Guys dig chicks with big guns

The Pallet Rifle is soooooo 90's. This is 2007! We need a 4-Barrelled Minigun Whatthefuck Animu Weapon! (As one Anonymous put it.) Or, as the canon somewhat more blandly calls it, a "gatling gun".


"Now you see me..."

Yes! Bigger flashes!!


Tentacle Demon

Ghod, where to even begin...?

The most attention-getting differences involve the thoracic region. Previously, there had been a ventral concavity into which the eight legs neatly folded. In Rebuild, we have this exposed structure creepily resembling a naked rib cage and a spine. Shamshel's legs now all attach to this "spine" and are similarly bone-colored, and, rather than retract during battle, they flail about wildly like those of bug trying to get back on its feet. An additional pair of legs (teeny weeny ones) have been added to the caudal end ("towards the rear") of the ensemble, for a total of ten.

Also, the core was originally tucked between the V-shaped furrow on the bottom of Shamshel's head and her "collar bones". The "collar bones" look like actual bones now and branch off the top of the "spine" to hug the bottom of the core (which is barely visible at the beginning of this panning shot); the arms originally attached to their distal ends, but that no longer seems to be the case. The V-shaped furrow seems to be gone and, instead, Shamshel has a sucker-like mouth. (Easier to see in this screenshot.) This crude figure attempts to highlight some of these differences.

Check out where the whips are attached now. The whips are physical organs amplified by energy, so how do those frail-looking arm parts actually support them? And where did the whips come from in the first place? No place where they could have been stored -- generated on the fly?

"Countdown initiated!"

Lot more going on here. In Rebuild, the display initially shows a schematic of the "business end" of the umbilical cable (kinda hard to make complete sense of). Then it slides up off the screen and the battery counter slides down to take its place. Kinda nifty. This cut also confirms the continued presence of our Bridge Bunnies; Hyuga's right where he should be.


"That's not a knife. THAT'S a knife!"

Showcasing a new knife design and a much more intricate and visually engaging setup. Now the knife is jointed where the blade meets the hilt, and it straightens after being engaged. Nifty.

The original cut is drawn rather poorly, so there’s no contest here. We have the naked hands once again, although they look (A) not terribly damaged, and (B) alarmingly low on the melanin. (Have the Evas abandoned their sleek, swarthy looks?!?) Sho also seems to be holding her left arm kinda funny.

"Push, Shinji! PUSH!!"


Bloodcurdling Shriek of the Damned

Hope Ogata's lungs can still deliver. Shinji's mouth is even bigger this time.


"Thirty seconds and counting..."
