Fly me to the the moon has become part of Evangelion culture and has been for some time now.
While obviously not an original song made for the show; I can't help to think about
Eva every time it plays on the radio or even in other movies. At least for me it would a perfect way to
send off these movies and a nice little tie in to the series (like that hasn't been done before, right :lol:)

What are your thoughts on this?


SPOILER: Show

In other words, I love you

I genuinely love how good Evangelion hurts

As much as i adore this song..........nah, if fly me to the moon took the place of any rebuild movie we would have the two amazing versions of beautiful world and we may not have sakura nagashi, i would prefer a new song.

Something inside me really wants to keep FMttM for NGE. Sure, I would appreciate the nod to it if it were to show up in Eva Shin's credits, but it would all feel better just to have FMttM stick with NGE, and to have NTE to continue to break Eva as it's been doing so far.

"Fly me to the moon" no longer fits thematically, anyway. One of the proposed endings to EoE was to have Eva-01 land on the moon instead of float away into distant space. I'm going to stretch things, but I'd guess that was why the song was chosen in the first place - the association of Rei with the moon, as a presence to watch over humanity, as a sign that mankind isn't alone in the universe.

Now, whatever ending 4.0 gets has to reflect the multiple impacts that have gone on in the series. Third and fourth impacts were transformative events for Shinji. Assuming that the Final impact meant in the teaser happens as announced (rather than being flushed out of the script), things will come to a conclusion for Shinji's story on Earth. The ending song for the next movie will most likely reflect the ending of Shinji's journey for love on Earth, rather than about leaving the Earth for other worlds.

Also, there's no need to fly for the Moon anymore, since now it's hanging on Earth's lower atmosphere. :tongue:

We already have Utada's Fly Me to the Moon 2007 mix for 1.0 and 2.0 trailers, I think that's enough. Whatever song Utada will write and sing for FINAL will fit, I'm sure.

Fun fact: She barely knew about 3.0's plot when penning the lyrics for Sakura Nagashi.

And they ended up being perfect for the film anyway, you mean? Same principal as horoscopes, I guess. Make it vague enough and it will fit anything. ;p

That too. I just thought it's funny she didn't know much about the plot.

I agree. I always wanted to hear it in Rebuild and there was a time when i was 100% positive it could happen

Very good trailer and the song fits perfectly.

Who says there's gonna be an ED theme for final?
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 wouldn't mind if it appeared briefly, just as a little nod to NGE. Like maybe have Shinji or one of the other characters listen to an old recording of the song while we get a montage of apocalyptic imagery.

I don't think I'd be surprised if the song made it into Shin at some point, but I'd prefer to hear an original song for the credits. I think whatever Khara makes will be a better fit than Fly Me to the Moon, despite the callback to NGE.

^Yes, yes!

Do you think it should be the classic version, the 2009 version or a new version altogether?

I'm hoping for something soft and subdued like KST or a slower version of Fly Me to the Moon myself, so maybe something like this might be nice.

It depends, how the movie ends, but I could see a piano version or string version fading into the credits sung by Hikaru happening. Also a slow orchestral version could be nice too. (yes, if there's a happy ending, why not some kitsch too? it's fan service evangelion anyways.)

Nahhh, NTE doesn't deserve the jewel of the crown. It suits better the classic shoehanded 2000's idol vibe theme (that goes for every modern anime). NGEs is so much 90's they better don's translate things they did better that decade.

If anything they should put in a Cruel Angel's Thesis for Final. I haven't seen any of the rebuild movies yet.

But, I'm disappointed that Sailor Moon Crystal came out and they replaced Moonlight Densetsu with Moon Pride. To me whenever I think Sailor Moon I think of Moonlight Densetsu, a classic opening that represents the show. And a Cruel Angel's Thesis represents Eva.
