Meaning, is she going to have some of her German roots, or is she going to be 100% Japanese in the new movies?


She's still "Langley" and that was the German part of her name. They're just changing the Japanese surname from Soryu to Shikinami.

Maybe you haven't watched Eva before? It's a running joke from the TV series next-episode-previews, that's all. In each preview there would be a promise of more fanservice in the next episode. Of course, fanservice isn't always sexual in nature, it can also refer to big explosions and tons of giant robot action, basically giving fans what they want.

Man, they better not change the hot springs scenes; Shinji must learn about thermal expansion! Laughing

That was one of the most awkward "I'm growing up" scenes in the show. I don't think it was meant for fan service...
