Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance: Makinami Mari Illustrious 08

The pilot with an enigmatic personality, Mari is the only one among the Eva pilots who genuinely enjoys piloting. Her repeated comments suggest that she has a liking to the smell of LCL, an amber-colored, translucent liquid that allows the pilot to mentally link with their Evangelion Unit. It is implied that Mari works for an unknown third party, and a pilot designation has not been provided, assuming Mari actually has one.

Another amazing cosplayer from Japan Comiket 79! I’m sorry I had to crop the original photo, but those white boxes are really distracting. Thanks again to 4chanatic for sending this in!

The second of four films released in the Rebuild of Evangelion tetralogy, Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance is the winner of the French Lyon Asian Film Festival’s Animation category, narrowly beating “Symphony in August” in an audience vote back in 2009. The film also won Excellent Animation of the Year from the Japan Academy Prize for Animation of the Year in 2010. Stills and draft materials by Anno Hideaki were exhibited at K nstlerhaus Bethanien as part of the Proto Anime Cut exhibition from January to March 2011, with a European tour planned in summer 2012.

Ok, so this group changed Ikari Shinji and Nagisa Kaworu into girls, but hey, is anyone really complaining? And for those of you who want to see more of these cosplayers, please refer to the video below. Thanks to Felicia for sending this in!
