they share the same color palette, both have horns and their eyes look similar.even if it's just a coincidence, it's a pretty cool one
It's just color theory.
Didn't Gquuuux confirm its inspiration?
>>23492978It's Ultraman you fucking retard. Good fucking Christ. Complimentary colors is one of the most common design things there is.
>>23492978Quite frankly I think you’re just overthinking it, what I do know is that apparently king gori’s chest armor is what directly inspired the saiyan armor, enforced by the fact that they also turn into big apes
>>23492978>>23493067Hats off to you for this. Anno accumulated a lot of /m/ that he appreciates in eva. Its not surprising.
>>23493256Shut the fuck up duel.
>>23493289imao
>>23493299i=/=l
>>23493072Anno said Eva 01 is purple because Go Nagai's Shuten Doji
>>23493529Eva fags will research into everything, grasp at every connection possible, so long as it's not something that actually came from one of the creatives mouths
>>23493635>AAAAAAAHHH FRE*KING EVAFAGS!!!!!!relax sammy
>>23493641>Thread where an eva fags makes a stupid assumption>DONT TALK ABOUT EVA FAGS. uh huh
>>23492981>could it be ??
>>23493067>we wuz psycho gundams 'n' shiet!makes me wish we could've seen a destroy mode type transformation where unit 1 turns into the mk2 psycho gundam in a SRW game or something.
Why is this thread filled with insufferable jackasses?
I feel like Yamashita has talked extensively on every single detail on eva's production, it's just buried under several piles of cats, motorcycles, planes and clouds.
>>23493819The plug suit's name makes a hell of a lot more sense now.
>>23493635>>23493644Anno said it on the interview he had with Nagai
>>23492978Maybe later but the eva was conceived to be white first before it had a colourscheme.
>>23494172Actual retard.
>>23494146Yeah he also listed a other stuff some of which are painfully obvious so you're being kind of disingenuous.>GN : Someone told me that Evangelion was visually inspired by Ultraman, is it true ?HA : EVA is an "Ultramanian" character, sure. But to be honest, the visual inspiration also comes from Devilman.GN : Really ?HA : There's also some Shuten Douji in it. And also the idea that even demons and ogres with their scary faces. I think the thing we name "power" is something really scary. So when the design was to be made, I particularly insisted that he is scary-looking. If kids could start crying just by watching an episode, that would be ideal. To the point to make it an anti-hero, something which is scary. For that, Devilman was the perfect model. I had drawn a "rough" version of EVA which looked a lot like Devilman, with the curved back, la taille fine, a thick chest plate. It was the image that I made from Devilman. But EVA also has common points with Mazinger Z. Him too has a scary demonic face.GN : For what is Devilman and Mazinger Z, I didn't have the intention to give them nightmare-esque faces, but that naturally came to me ! (Laughs)HA : In Mao Dante, the ears of Ryo Utsugi become the eyes of a demon, right ? In the first version of EVA, when we looked at its eyes closely, we also noticed an influence from Mao Dante. Before that I did the Gunbuster ova, and for the robot design, I told myself that giving it two eyes was a bit dull. So I made it like a cyclop, but later I realized it was a mistake. Even with their shadow, robots like Mazinger remained recognisable, even if the eyes were no longer just two white shapes. In Gunbuster, with its unique eye, it didn't work well. I therefore told myself that next time, I will definitely make a robot with compound eyes, like an insect. For that, I coloured all of the body of the first version of EVA with a gloomy colour, except for the eyes, which I left in white, to attract attention.
>>23494203I just deleted my post because I looked it up myself and wanted to write another post where you are a disingenuous fucking nigger so go fuck yourself.
>>23493072Green and purple are not complementary
>>23494188I would love a model or figure of this
>>23494188They could easily retcon it as "Unit-001"
>>23494646Retard.
>>23494188Prototype Eva kicks assaI'd rather have it that the lanklets, because, with how good the animators were, the power sakuga would have been insane
>>23493067Yamashita disproved it on twitter
>>23495497link?
>>23494188Reminds me of detonator organ. I'm glad we got the purple color tho.
All this autism bullshit and no one mentioned that Tsurumaki thought the purple was gay as fuck and the one who decided was Yamashita
