Shinji, the right honorable bearer of the idiot ball, accidentally blows up the world again. Typical Tuesday at NERV.

 

A little off-topic, but after eighteen years of publication NGE manga finally reached its end. And, of course, the final chapter is messing with everybody's minds. I suppose nobody actually expected a happy ending. Not from NGE. It also sort of explains 3.0 since there is no way that Anno will let Evangelion become a feel-good franchise.

 

Finally watched 3.0.

I knew most of the plot already, but it didn't make me less surprised by where it went in this movie. Or feel less frustrated by how everyone treats Shinji. You can hate the guy all you want, but at least explain to him why. And did Misato forget that she was the one that encouraged Shinji to save Rei even if he probably didn't hear it?

But I suppose this will be a moral of this story. If the world ends, it will be mostly because of lack of communication between people.

I'm not even trying to guess what the next movie will be about, but if I was making it its first scene would be the last scene of EoE. Just to mess with fans' minds.

 

I feel like I'm the only person posting in this thread.

Anyway, I was curious if there are any news about 4.0 and this is what I found.

This is from 22 October 2013 which means that unless they're doing some animation without a finished script, 2014 release is hardly possible and even 2015 may be a little doubtful.

 

Man, I'm still waiting to see 3.0.

Someday I'll have a way to legitimately watch it.

Actually holy shit, just did a search now that I was thinking about it. Looks like one theater in my state is going to be playing it on January 10th. Neat, maybe I'll manage to get a ticket.

 

Yeah, I saw something similar some weeks ago. Back then a commentator mentioned earliest possible date would be second half of 2015.

 

Something I missed few weeks back. It was revealed that the final movie will not be titled 4.0. It's 3.0+1.0 now. And they haven't announced a release date.

When it comes to trolling fans nobody can beat Japanese creators.

 

Necro bump, but I found out that this short was released not too long ago that seems to be some kind of preview for Rebuild 4.0 (or 3.0+1.0 or whatever they're calling it now). I'm not sure if it's been linked elsewhere, I just found out about it earlier today.

 

Christ, I'm still waiting for the English version of 3.0 to come out.

 

Oh, yeah, there is another one. I found them a while ago and forgot to link them here. They are part of a series of shorts to show the state and possibilities of (Japanese) animation.

The second Eva-Short in the set was "Evangelion - Another Impact":

Question, can anyone get videos to play on the animatorexpo site?

 

Considering that's where I watched it, yes. Try disabling any ad blockers if you have them, I guess, or maybe try another browser.

 

I had to enable the site and st-hatena.com in NoScript before it would run, but yes.

When you grab video off these Japanese sites, the file is always named smile.mp4... :?

 

Hrmm, did as Warlocke and Red Aviary said but videos still don't come up. Is it working alright on firefox for anyone else?

 

Works for me. I actually don't even have Adblock turned off or anything.

 

Can't even get it on IE, what the Hell? Flashplayer and Java are all up to date, I can't figure this out.

 

Yup, Firefox.

Don't you hate it when shit doesn't work?

 

A footage of 10 minutes preview of Evangelion: 3.0+1.0. There is a chance it gets taken down from YT, but for now the link should work

After 8 years it probably won't be as good as people want it to be, but after the last one I'm sure nobody can predict what it's going to be about.

 

Given that most people suspect that the writers also have no clue how to end it after 3.0 and that's why there's been such a long delay, it's a pretty safe bet that the ending's going to be really weird. Especially since weird was already a given, because Evangelion.

 

Coming out June 2020.
