It’s only numbers like that which make me feel as though this wait is insufferable. But, at the same time, we’ve have three Eva movies between 2007 and 2017. That cannot be said for the years 1997 through 2007. We’ve been doing pretty good.

What makes the wait insufferable, at least for me, is the lack of a release date. For 3.0 we had a tentative release window and a trailer 15 months before the release. At the moment we only know that a significant amount of work has been made on the movie, Anno is working on it at least since September 2016, but we don't know yet if the movie is coming out in 2018, 2019 or 2020.

At the same time giving us a trailer and a release date is a double edge sword: if they have to delay the movie people will probably riot in the streets and flood khara's inbox with death threats, and the first 2 trailers for 3.0, the preview at the end of 2.0 and the one at the end of 2.22 on NTV, had basically nothing in common with the finished product anyway. That's why I believe they'll start hyping us for real once they are sure of hitting their planned release date.



Going back to Shin Godzilla's TV airing I noticed that they haven't asked the viewers to "watch the end", something that NTV did with 2.22, and also considering that Shin Godzilla isn't airing on NTV I'm now thinking that there will be no Shin Eva news that day.
Still, I believe that they'll say something before the end of the year. We had the tweet in April and about 4 months later the poster and Shin Unit 02 , so maybe for December we'll have something (wishful thinking).

Well...the series was effectively finished in July of 1997. So, there was nothing we were waiting for for the ensuing 10 years. There was no ongoing production. No expectation. No new story we were waiting to finally have a definitive ending to.
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 don't know if I understand well Google Translate but Minna no Eva reported that on November 16th the staff of Shin Eva (Khara and Project Studio Q) is going to have a panel about " Support of production of "Shin Evangelion Theater Version" ".

The article also contains this:

Mr. Hiroyasu Kobayashi and color Daisuke Onizuka lecture "Landscape of" Shin · Evangelion Theater Version "Production Support" etc. are scheduled.


So they are going to talk about backgrounds for Shin Eva?

Here's the article: http://neweva.blog103.fc2.com/blog-entry-5276.html

Not just backgrounds, I believe. It's a general discussion how the work on the movie is done. Maybe we'll get some kind of update. I mean at that point it's been 5 years since Q has been released. Some kind of update would be kinda cool.

An update? Sure, I guess. I'm not expecting anything really exciting until a tailer or a teaser is dropped. I don't expect any big Eva news to be exposited Steve Jobs style at some sort of conference.

Why not, advertising for Q hit quite atypical beats for Japanese standards. Maybe they have some clever marketing scheme going on this time too. Don't get me wrong, I don't expect anything big. But some crudely drawn pic of something that may or may not be from the storyboard would be cool. I crave me some esoteric stuff that cranks up discussion to 11 (pages of speculation in this forum)

The landscape part sounds like a bad mistranslation on google's part.

This is purely a technology conference and the khara talks sound like they'll be about the workflow and handling the massive amount of data needed for modern animation.

If any of this does get reported on, I'd expect powerpoints of picture of HDDs and network storage.

The best part will be reading all those pages after the movie release and realize how wrong we all were.

Sorry for the double post but it's now 4:30 AM in Japan, both Shin Godzilla and NGE aired a few hours ago but nothing happened. Back to hibernation.

I don't think we're gonna get too much as far as "An Official Announcement of a Teaser/Trailer" is concerned. Khara (or Japanese media as a whole, for that matter) doesn't seem to be as into making announcements for announcements about trailers for teasers before the trailers of movies as Hollywood/Disney is. The teaser or trailer is the announcement for the movie. There really doesn't need to be any hype for the hype.

Stop filling your blood of the venom that is relentless and shallow hype. American-style film marketing is sickening at best, anyway.

Honestly for me the senseless hype it's part of the fun in this case, I know that when it's done it's done for good, no planned sequel, so I want to live the hype. :lol:

(and it's a good distraction from my real life)

Looks like NGE is having another go on a movie specialty channel along with Shin Godzilla. All 26 episodes plus Death True 2 and End of Evangelion leading into Shingoji. Doubt there's anything else interesting going on there but couldn't hurt to keep an eye out either. NGE is getting a lot of re-runs here recently. ^_^
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!

NGE is probably just cheaper than rebuild to air, or maybe khara simply isn't willing to sell rights for the movies without having a new teaser at the end of 3.0. In my opinion an update on the Evangelion website for new year's day is the most possible scenario, other than that every day is as good as the others.

Wow it's been a while since I've visited an Evangelion related thread on here lol. But on the subject at hand, I almost find it great how the movies don't torture us with years of teasers leading up to the release. On average, I'd say we start seeing promotional instances of media around roughly 10 or so months before release? Which isn't bad, I much rather get a poster or teaser trailer when the film is within a year of being released. I think the gaming industry is the most guilty of teasing for years before releasing a game.

I don't expect there to be an occasion or pattern here, one day they'll simply release the title/ or poster/ or 30sec preview.

For one hot second I saw this tweet on my timeline this morning and though "FINAL!".

Alas it's just about the art book for The Dragon's Dentist.

Yeah, I saw that too and almost got excited. Dang Dragon Dentist! :lol:

But speaking of Twitter, it looks like Khara has a new twitter account that is doing some Q&As. This one is worth keeping an eye on, I think!

https://twitter.com/khara_inc2

I saw some questions in there about Peaceful Times, Mr. Donkey and the 3.0 CRC.

Soo...

Are we keeping a eye on new years then? At this point it is about 12 days away.

Besides that anything in 2018 to keep an eye or ear out for?
I suspect we will start hearing/reviving a lot more about this movie than in the past. Especially if Khara is planning on releasing it in 2018 too. Which frankly I don't know how likely that is. It'd be really awesome if it did happen, but that all depends. A lot of people including myself thought it would've been out by 2015 - 2017 if we were asked before then.

Guess we continue to wait.
