Yea, he was just complaining about the fact we have heard nothing about Shin, and now we have a great Christmas gift.

Do we need spoiler tags for this? I wanted to discuss a few aspects of what we see in this trailer.

The thing that I'm wondering also is this was the only the 7th released short out of 30. They might still save the very last one for a more traditional teaser/trailer for Final, by which point it'll be close to if not Spring of 2015, at their current rate of one release per week. I don't wanna get my hopes up, but it seems plausible.
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

Yea I am still wondering what that black Evangelion is doing in the promotional video... Hmm

Also I recall TMBounty Hunter saying to me that we wouldn't get any Evangelion content from the animator expo.

^ This certainly came as a surprise to all of us. I think a more accurate prediction would be that we wouldn’t see Anno himself direct anything for the Expo. Anno didn’t direct this short film, so it’s consideration as actual NTE canon is shaky at best. More information is certainly needed.

Anno is credited as the “Original Author,” while is almost like saying “Based on the material written by..

Japanese credits are weird sometimes.
Well anyways, he was also involved drawing, so what I want to say is that this is probably actual Rebuild stuff, and not just a little "fan work" by a member of the staff.
I don't know if I'm explaining myself. :P

Also, Failures of Infinity confirmed to have skeletons.
Is the moon attracting the debris?
And it's weird seeing snow in Tokyo-3, isn't it? Another big change. I always associated that place with summer.

Ryuko: "I'm gonna knock ya on your asses!"

Using this short to confirm anything is silly. Only the finalized movies confirm things.

Do you really think a member of the staff wouldn't base all of this, including the design of the Failures of Infinity, on the source material? We didn't even get a preview for this. They wanted to surprise us, and it's probably relevant.
Also, Anno worked on this. How much I don't know, but Anno hasn't directed/storyboarded every part of Evangelion.

Those storyboards that we got during the Sagisu video showed snow, and here we got snow too...

As we've seen from the rest of the expo (and also the calendars) the staff does whatever it wants and Anno just throws money at them.

To me at least it's not canon until it's in theaters with "Chief Director Hideaki Anno" bracketing the credits roll.

Possibly referencing the end of Sadamoto's manga.

Anyway, this was a fun, nice, surprise. Liked how it was set to Danny Boy. 3.0 Rei reflected in quantum(?) Rei's eye was interesting.

Can't wait to see what other shorts they have for the rest of the 30 total!

Sicarius VI: There's no news about FINAL yet, so feel free to discuss whatever in here, as long as it's on-topic.

So anyone worried that this short makes it look like Shinji,Asuka, and Rei split up durning their walk?

I mean apperently ReiQ dies and Quantum Rei appears to Shinji again. In all of this though we only see a shot of Asuka's evolution coming from a girl in a yellow dress(which really looks like it is from NGE) to the eyepatch Asuka we know now.

Asuka, Shinji, and Rei splitting up is definitely something I don't think any have considered.

That'd suck as a possibility... But thankfully this short isn't necessarily canon, it's just for fun (like Sagisu's Peaceful Times was).

Ahh Not Canon I need to remember this SSD, it's just awesome we got anything and I would rather be on disbelief if it turned out to be Non-Canon.

Yeah it was the common thought that they needed each other to survive, but if they split up that is something else.

Also Shinji getting his heart ripped out is quite brutal.

Pretty heavy with the sequel theory teasing. Feels like a trip through Shinji's mind achieving sixth dimensional gnosis.

Definitely worth my time!

So many ways to interpret the Four Asuka's...wonder if that's going to have any meaning come 3.0 + 1.0.

Also what's with Rei Q's hand crumbling into pieces?

Shinji thought it was his Rei, but then he found out it wasn't. So his Rei crumbled away.

Whoa just realized something, at the very end when they show a close up
of Quantum Rei, ReiQ can be seen in her pupil.

I don't have strong evidence against this, but there is an important detail I should mention. Shiro Sagisu mentioned composing the "Next Time Preview" song, otherwise known as Peaceful Times, for the last time. While this could mean they'll use it twice, it likely suggests that the stinger at the end of Q is the last one. Whatever comes next is the end if that is true.
And to all the children...

Congratulations!
