I thought that you would have a longer speedrun because of the shorts but then you searched up asuka which ended up not being the asuka you wanted lmao
Very well thought out video. While I am truthfully a newcomer to the whole eva sprite creation speedrun category (only 500 hours), I do have a few thoughts I would like to share. While PONOS has hinted at the end of evangelion collabs in its new stage names leading to some distress in the community on the potential lack of new sprites to work with, I and many others think that not only will the sprites keep coming, but that, yes, the sprite quality and deviations will increase as will the inevitable new evangelion designs (citing its similarity to a money printing machine). I would also like to bring up some other potential speedrun categories, as while the normal Any% category is satisfactory for the most part, some more innovation might be needed for the community to grow. Some ideas that came from my giant ass brain (1st percentile) are GetReal%, where you must 3D model, print, and paint a life sized version¹, PixelArt%, where you have to draw it pixel by pixel to 99% accuracy, NoInternet%, which requires an infiltration into PONOS and Khara HQ to steal artwork and cels respectively. Regarding Shinjiz and Gaoru, I believe they will certainly be a step up with more clothes (hopefully) (i do not want to see baby shinji with the same level of clothing as asukasli), more tailored items, etc. Very interested to see how this community evolves in the future. ¹while doing my in-depth research on this i found u/meanforce1 and holy shit you need to see this for yourself

I forgot there was 2 different asukas
@@TheAwfulUsername common mistake speedrunners make when they fail to practice runs on the new rebuild updates of evaagalion and keep to the original

NoInternet% sounds like a great speedrun challenge!
