4th Film Info (READ OP) + Speculation

Postby Reichu » Fri Nov 16, 2012 2:16 pm

Shitty translation by me.

予告
生きる気力を失ったまま放浪を続ける碇シンジ。
たどり着いた場所が彼に希望を教える。ついに発動する補完計画。
ファイナルインパクト阻止のため、最後の決戦を挑むヴィレ。
空を裂くヴンダー! 赤い大地を疾走する、エヴァ8+2号機!
次回
シン・エヴァンゲリオン劇場版:||
さぁ~て最後まで、サービス、サービスぅ!

(Image from theatrical booklet, presumably.)

PREVIEW
Shinji Ikari continues to wander, still lacking the will to live.
He comes upon a place that teaches him hope. Finally the instrumentality project is set in motion.
To prevent Final Impact, Wille make one last grueling stand.
Wunder tears through the skies! Eva Unit 8+2 sprints over the red earth!
NEXT TIME
New Evangelion Theatrical Edition: ||
There'll be fan service all the way up to the end!


Don't know how to replicate the actual symbol in the title, but here's Seele's scoop on it:

View Original PostSeele00TextOnly wrote:the symbol at the end of the title in moonrunes is

which is the musical annotation for conclusion. If one includes the colon preceding the double bars, it's the symbol for go back and repeat once then conclude. So very appropriate use there I think, either way.


EDIT: Discussion of the symbol has its own topic now.

I'm honestly curious, how the hell does one pronounce that? I'm guessing narrator Misato must have managed something, but...

Some notes:

[s]- Mention is made of a character ヴィレ, which I rendered "Wille" since that would be the German way. Best guess, in other words. Who could this be?[/s] Okay, according to new spoilers, this is the organization WILL-E. Fixing now.

- Wunder is the semiorganic-looking airship that we've gotten images of.

- Why did they skip ahead to "Final Impact"? Third Impact didn't finish, so...

- "エヴァ8+2号機"... The notation is rather odd. 8+2? Gives me weird gattai vibes.

- HIP is still heading for us, it seems?

エヴァQ見てきた。次回作はシン・エヴァンゲリオン劇場版。
シンは「新」と「Sin(罪)」のダブル・ミーニングらしい。


2ch speculah the katakana "Shin" in Shin Evangelion Gekijouban aka 4.0 should be read as "Shin" of atarashii/new and as, uh, sin.


Makes sense to me

It seems that the way to type out the title would be:
シン•エヴァンゲリオン劇場版𝄇

I used unicode symbols that seem to work properly, seeing how the title appears. And, even though I do believe that the symbol at the end is a final barline, I think that the symbol they typed just for the logo is the repeat symbol. The titles for the other films had a colon that added a little bit of space to the title (for example: ヱヴァンゲリヲン新劇場版:Q). And we can see here that the characters "版" ":" and "𝄂" are closer together than they would appear in a "traditional" title for a Rebuild film. That, and the fact that the dots on the colon are smaller than what you would see in a title for another Evangelion film (though if and when the text is compressed for the actual logo, the dots may appear larger, and I could end up being wrong).

To get an idea as to what the hell I'm talking about, compare the two logos for 3.0 and FINAL below

TL;DR: the title can be replicated, and I'm very particular about stupid shit. ^_^

It looks like your unicode symbol doesn't work properly in my browser(s) though, maybe I lack the necessary font.

Anyone with access to the cinema, can you try to listen to the voiceover and catch how the title is pronounced by narrator!Misato?

BTW, gattai 08+02 sighted by our Lili. One Eva after all, it would seem. :cringe:

View Original PostLiLi wrote:The only thing I remember about the preview for the next movie is a terrible, terrible half pink/half red Eva.... Maybe I hallucinated it.... *sporks eyes*


Here's what she says about Eva-02's fate at the end of the film:

IIRC Asuka detonated Eva 02. I think later on they show what might pass as the sorry remains of this unit being carried away.


In relation to the lines about Shinji "wandering" and "finding a place" and such, here's what Lili says about the end of the film:

Asuka says something like, "We gotta go to a place where the Lilin can reach us". The SDAT falls at Rei's feet, she looks down, but we don't get to see whether she picks it up. Off they go leaving a trail in the sand, Asuka literally pulling Shinji by the hand/arm, Rei following.


Ornette's take on the preview:

View Original PostOrnette wrote:The next time preview has an Eva that looks like the pink Eva and Eva-02 stiched together fighting a bunch of other Evas that all look alike, probably an Eva series? They don't look like harpiess though.


This matches up with another spoiler that Xard posted but didn't provide a translation for:

次回マーク6っぽいのがいっぱいvs8+2号機
In the preview there's lots of Mark 06-looking units vs. Unit 8+2


Of course, we should take this preview with a grain of salt, given what they pulled on us last time, amirite?

I think that at some point, when they update the website, they'll find a character that is much more browser friendly than what I used. The only reason why I'll be using it is just because it makes me feel special.

Sure, although this probably means we'll see something even more horrible and meaningless than Franken-Eva 08+02.

The problem is that the Unicode character used (MUSICAL SYMBOL FINAL BARLINE) is only supported by 4 fonts, none of which are commonly found on Windows or Mac. It's cool conceptually, but it's not very user-friendly.

In this instance, I think that "Shin Evangelion Gekijouban: [Final Barline]" ought to be rendered in standard English as "New Evangelion Theatrical Edition: Final". Since the very beginning (the 15-sec "News Flash" trailer from 2007), the Japanese-language titles were announced as 1.0 (Jo), 2.0 (Ha), 3.0 (Kyu, which was later turned into Q), and Final (?). One could also quite reasonably derive that the "final barline" character is replacing the "?".

One more thing: The changed placement and rendering of the word "shin" from the first 3 films' "Evangelion Shin Gekijouban" (commonly rendered as "Evangelion New Theatrical Edition") is probably significant in some yet-to-be known way, and as such ought not to be ignored when translating the title.

Note: As always, those who preferred the phrasing "New Movie Edition" can substitute the word movie for theatrical if they wish.

That's fair enough. I was merely giving suggestions.
