What is that? Looks like the old title card?
Someday I hope that we'll be reunited if that is what's destined to be. Perhaps we'll discover that elusive bible. And then we will finally be free!

Project Studio Q held a panel or something going by Google Translate. As usual Kobayashi (khara's CG director) was there.

I presume they mentioned Shin Eva as an upcoming product by them.






Anno is now my husbando, look how cute he is. :lol:

I will only accept pictures of Anno that are taken by his dear wife. She captures all of his best sides every time, including the times Anno dressed as Kaiju.

I think NSFW content belongs in another topic.

Same as last year for mobilising more manpower, but as always I don't dare to make the mistake to expect and hope anything, only want it to end.

Hell will follow with FINAL.
I carry out things right to the end. No. Matter. What.

*Puts on conspiracy hat*.

July 29, 2016 - Shin Godzilla released in Japanese theaters.
July 28/29, 2017 - Evangelion website updates with new poster image.
July 29/29, 2018 - New reveal. Possible release date announced?
July 29, 2019 - Too far off but possible the Release Date? Underpants. Profit.

I've heard somewhere last year, that due to the immense influx of money from Chinese and American streaming services, pretty much the whole industry is booked out until 2020.

Though I guess everyone wants to have Shin Eva on their résumé?

Every morning I wake up thinking there might be an announcement.
I check the khara2 twitter account, hoping for some trailer.
But it seemingly never comes.
When I watched 3.0 I was a young lad. Now I'm 22. I have grey hair (actually true, not all of it, just some sprouts, but they weren't there before).
I think I've made my position clear that I don't have a problem with khara, I'm just impatient.
There's many things I love, but there is nothing in all of media I want as much as this film.
I honestly don't even care if it's good. It will be good, but if it were bad, I'd still be happy watching it.
This has trascended hype for a film. I've been waiting for more than 5 years. Most of my time as an Eva fan has been waiting for this film. It's like an arch that needs to be closed.

But maybe this wait is the real 3.0+1.0. not 4.0, it's 3.0 + the wait that came afterwards. Maybe our love for this franchise is the true message Anno wants to give us. We are all waiting, but we are all waiting together.
Whenever you feel alone, you know there is some other evageek waiting, just as you are. Maybe we are that 1.0.

I'm sleep deprived y'all.

I had a similar experience waiting for 3.0 back in the day. Difference being, that I've only waited for 3 years...

∆ During the 3.0 marketing, was that short video of Eva-02 in space the first big reveal?
And was everything before that as silent as it is now?
Just to see if there's a pattern.
Well it's not that silent with the little things we see, but we have no actual footage or anything.

I think so, yes. I think that happened in September. Before that we had one illustration of Eyepatch Asuka in April and the title reveal on New Year's Eve.

Didn't know Honda's eyepatch Asuka came so much time prior, but I was aware it was one of the first things shown.

I still suspect they are pretty far along and are just focusing on finishing the film.
Khara isn't Nintendo, but the Mario and Zelda games are good examples of things that get announced when development is really far along (the last Zelda not being the best example of that).

Basically because Khara is an independent animation studio and Eva is their property they can take their time in producing and marketing the films. They don't have set deadlines. They may have a release date already set on their calendar and just haven't announced it OR they don't have one yet and won't choose a release date until Anno feels the film is far enough along that they can set one that is easily attainable.

With 3.0 things were quiet for about two years after the release of 2.0 in 2009. No one expected the film in 2010 so the silence wasn't that big a deal though there was a lot of speculation the film was going to be released at Christmas 2010. 2011 was also quiet until the newly animated post-credits teaser was added onto the TV showing of 2.0 in August 2011 I think. No release date given.
Then on New Years Day 2012 Khara released an image/flyer/etc that gave out the title - You Can (Not) Redo - an image of Asuka and "2012". Then pretty much radio silence for another 7 months. Then in June or July 2012 they had some special video screening that gave out the release date November 17, 2012. So the actual release date was only given out a few months before release.
After that were trailers that hid everything well - the trailers were even in the wrong aspect ratio - and the infamous rainbow piano trailer.

Then the movie came out and the world exploded.


Not sure how actual marketing for Final will go. Each film has approached marketing the film differently with the only uniform factor between the previous three being that films themselves were relatively unspoiled. Khara has control over their marketing team so they don't pull crap like "Here's the entire story in chronological order". It helps that Khara favors marketing that is pure imagery. The Rebuild trailers are all simply a collage of images set to a killer track from Shiro Sagisu without any snippets of dialogue to give an idea of story.

Anywho, Final will probably be similar but the big difference is social media + marketing for films have entered a whole new world since 2012. It really is a whole new ballgame. So their probably will be more little snippets of things given out to entice people.

Either way. Good things are in store for fans of Eva in the near future.

Yes, Gendo'sPapa is correct. Sorry to have posted prematurely without properly thinking it through/spreading misinformation.
(I've totally forgotten the gorgeous rainbow piano)
Also, soon after the release of Q there was a "full" trailer revealing the time skip that was hidden until then.

Generally Japanese companies do not tend to announce (borderline spoil) the whole thing like American trailers like to do.
