I thought that I should pick up on this because it was dismissed by some of the editors when it is, in fact, a valid comment (though I have no idea what "Nihongon" is...).

Our wiki page for End of Evangelion reads as if "新世紀エヴァンゲリオン劇場版 THE END OF EVANGELION" is the primary Japanese title. However, as Username points out, in Japan the DVD uses the name "Air/まごころを、君に", and the Japanese wikipedia page for EOE is named "新世紀エヴァンゲリオン劇場版 Air/まごころを、君に". So even if "The End of Evangelion" is a co-equal title for the film, and even if it is given in the film itself and on the movie poster, it seems that most official material in Japan prefers "Air / magokoro o, kimi ni". It would be nice if the wiki page could make this clear.

Edit: The wayback machine, going back to Japan in 1997, gives the official film title as the following monstrosity:

THE END OF EVANGELION 新世紀エヴァンゲリオン劇場版 Air/まごころを、君に

Jesus, the list of potential titles for this film is staggering, I suggest a combination of all of them:

Neon Genesis New Century Evangelion Theatrical Version: The End of Evangelion: Air (Love is Destructive)/My Pure Heart For You/Sincerely Yours (ONE MORE FINAL)

Looks like a damn math equation.
Among the people who use the Internet, many are obtuse. Because they are locked in their rooms, they hang on to that vision which is spreading across the world. But this does not go beyond mere ‘data’. Data without analysis [thinking], which makes you think that you know everything. This complacency is nothing but a trap. Moreover, the sense of values that counters this notion is paralyzed by it.

And so we arrive at demagogy. - Hideaki Anno, 1996

I think the answer is (xy^2) + 18.
