A quarter of a century after its original debutNeon Genesis Evangelionis back in the news thanks to the upcoming release ofEvangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time, and that means plenty of spotlight for the anime’scosplaydarlings, Rei and Asuka.
TheRebuild of Evangelionbrought an entirely new and expanded story to Hideki Anno’s masterpiece, and although the movie saga has never been met with the same universal acclaim, it definitely came with a considerable visual upgrade for more modern times. Rei and Asuka were among the few characters to get at least a couple touch-ups and slight redesigns, but nothing beats their classic Eva unit plugsuits.

For Danish cosplayers Rinaca and Su-rine that’s certainly the case as they teamed up for a photoshoot that captures the first and second children in their battle-ready outfits with impressive accuracy. Unlike mostEvangelioncosplay tributes that usually feature spandex plugsuits, these two women went for full vinyl suits with some accessories that really make them look capable of achieving 100% synchronization to fight off any angels.
As if the work put into their costumes by Rinaca and Su-rine wasn’t enough, the duo really went the distance to add an entry plug-like cockpit to their photoshoot that perfectly compliments their pinpoint accurate plugsuits.Judging from the latestRebuild of Evangeliontrailer, Rei and Asuka will definitely be vital if the chosen children are to save the world again.
Evangelioneasily ranks asone of the best anime from the 90s, with its highly philosophical plot always setting it apart from otherlegendary mecha anime, so perhaps that’s why Amazon booked3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Timefor an exclusive worldwide premiere, that paired along with the rest of theRebuildsaga will make for a few good hours of entertainment this August 13. However, those looking to catch up with the entireEvangelionstory will have to fall back on Netflix where the full anime found its home a couple of years ago after years of complicated licensing agreements.
TheRebuildfilm series features allEvangelioncharacters sticking to their decades-old personalities, thoughRei did get a costume redesignand eyepatch Asuka has certainly lived through a lot. Regardless of that, when the world is upon a fourth or fifth impact, there’s really no rest for the weary, and3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Timepromises a noticeable improvement from its predecessors.
