Here's proof, Kaji is sitting in front of the city in both states.
that's the reflection of the city on the water tho
>>151732810
oh btw, I'm still no closer to solving the mystery of this city, cause apparently there's a whole fucking underwater portion that I just now noticed.
>>151732839
no, that's glass

Why is Sachiel so cute?
Please. The original thread was autistic and retarded enough. Just drop it.
>>151733815
I think we all know who the cutest angel is. I'd post a picture of Kaworu but then in a spoiler tag I would have the name of a different angel in a classic bait and switch, but I'm not a faggot and thusly have no pictures of Kaworu.
>>151733882
not until mystery is solved.
>>151732810
stop making this shitty thread

Ah fuck, I forgot the spoiler pic. Let me try again.
>>151734476
Building is halfway in.
>>151734476
It's shown quite explicitly that not every building retracts.
>>151735091
In motion you can see that they are still, and not in the process of retracting.
>>151735109
Yes, but the drill in this shot in continuous right?
>>151735149
So what? The building could simply stop halfway just like how an elevator can stop anywhere between the first and last floor.
Why would they do this? Maybe because it's not necessary, or because pulling it all the way up would make it too unstable. I don't know.
Now, the actual reason is that without buildings, the drill shot would look empty and you wouldn't know where it's happening without the visual cues. But my in-story explanation is sufficient.
>>151735269
Why would the buildings have roofs at both ends if they obviously can't flip?
>>151735320
They're not roofs, they're supports.
>>151735455
why would you have supports on your roof?
>>151735514
I'm talking about the "lower roof" which is not a roof. While a normal floor would be flat and use the ground as support, this one is dangling and therefore has to take a more structurally sound form. Look at the picture: the lower ends had these octagon-looking structures that the actual roofs do not have. Said structures reinforce the corners.
Some of it retracts, some if doesn't. Not so hard to understand if you bothered to pay attention to anything other than small details.

Yeah, there's a lake at the bottom of the Geofront.
Picture that Tokyo-3 is like a very deep crater surrounded by mountains and hills (the outskirts). Some buildings and facilities are on these outskirts. The closer you get to the center of the city, there's NERV HQ or Geofront, which sits at the bottom. It has a lake and a forest.
It has a very tall roof, which is what supports the buildings you see above the surface. Some blocks of the city or individual buildings can retract below the surface. Some can't.
Some don't but have underground levels. If people lived in a 20-story building, 8 of which are below the surface, people would evacuate to the underground levels for protection. There's no need for them to rise all the way up.
>>151737377
You know, we barely see people in Tokyo-3 even though it's such a massive city. Pretty sad.
>>151737377
but in that scene, the angel is on the real surface, so there is a sunken city there. Prolly Tokyo 2.
>>151737494
>Tokyo 2
That's Tokyo 1. The old city was flooded when the ice caps melted. Sachiel is there trying to locate Lilith (covered by the Geofront pyramid thing)
>but
Do you understand the proper grammatical function of a 'but'?
>>151737828
wheres tokyo 2
>>151738090
In Austria.
Why don't you use Google for once, you lazy fucking retard.
>>151737458
It is brought up that people are evacuating more and more as the series goes on.
I'd evacuate too.
>>151738147

>tee-hi-hi, I was only pretending to be a retard
Fuck off.
