26 Eps per year is ALOT to manage, even back then during the Hey-Day of Serialized TV.

This week's art drop features final color schemes for all five of USS Nerv's Evangelion-class Mobile Units, as seen in season 2 of EVA-Trek.
Drawing 639 / 2025 Artwork 41: USS Hakone, MU-01. Piloted by Acting Ensign Shinji Ikari. Work undergoing by Dr. Ritsuko Akagi and Nerv's science department to retrieve pilot's mother, Dr. Yui Ikari, from Hakone's core. Units 01, 02, 03, and 05 were allowed to be repainted in color schemes chosen by each unit's pilot on authority of then-First Officer Katsuragi prior to Stardate 49334.
Drawing 640 / 2025 Artwork 42: USS Tokyo, MU-00-A. Piloted by Ensign Rei Ayanami. The replacement for the original unit, destroyed on Stardate 49250.1, Tokyo-A serves as an experimental test bed for the Evangelion-class' new synchronization and computer control systems. This diagram reflects her anticipated final configuration and official Starfleet regulation colors once construction and testing is completed aboard the USS Nerv.
Drawing 641 / 2025 Artwork 43: USS Kyoto, MU-02. Piloted by Squadron Commander Lieutenant Junior Grade Asuka L. Soryu. Nerv science department also working to retrieve Dr. Kyoko Z. Soryu from Kyoto's core.
Drawing 642 / 2025 Artwork 44: USS Matsushiro, MU-03. Piloted by Crewman Kensuke Aida. Nerv science department reports some difficulty with research into extracting pilot's mother, Aoi Aida, from unit core.
Drawing 643 / 2025 Artwork 45: USS Osaka, MU-05. Piloted by Crewman Kaworu Nagisa. Research is inconclusive as to whether unit core holds the soul of any known relatives of Nagisa. Pilot notes color scheme was the idea of Ensign Ayanami.
