What time in Japan is the first actual cinema screening of shin eva?

[Thesufferingpumpkin]

Sorry to ask just wondered when it was as I assume it’s not midnight anymore apart from the free 12 min preview

[Blockio]

Just shy of two hours as of posting this, so expect the first flood of spoilers to come in at about four hours from now

[Mr. Tines]

About 100 minutes to the on-line teaser; as for the full release, I can't remember whether it's 07:00 or 07:30 Japan time, but the upshot is that the first showing will end sometime like midnight UT.

Are you sure? That will be midnight in Japan? But I thought midnight screenings were not happening now? Other than the 12 min preview ?

I was just going off of the countdown timer website and it seemed to line up with what people in the places I checked were talking about; things are a bit hectic on my end currently with both Shin and a big uni assignment going on, so I might very well have gotten something confused there; if so, that's on me.

Take Mr. Tines' word over mine on this matter, he seems to be better informed than I am

IIRC there's no midnight release of the movie with this release date and everywhere else I've heard the earliest screening would be 7-7:30AM their time. So if anyone is like me and live on the east coast, spoilers would be around 7-7:30PM today.

[pwhodges]

i.e. well after midnight for Europeans. I don't suppose there will be much material until after the end of the film a few hours on, plus a bit of translation time. I guess the first watchers would rather concentrate on watching, not on tweeting as they go - but who knows?

[JuanSorel]

When can we expect the first professional reviews of the film? Any suggestion to a good google translator friendly site for it?

Well, we've waited nearly 9 years, what's another 12 hou...

...oh who am I kidding.

The closest wait is always the worst.

Well, right now it's almost 6:30AM in Japan so first screenings are about to start and with them, the "spoiler parade"

[El Squibbonator]

Wouldn't we have to wait until the movie is finished playing before the spoilers come in?

You'd think so, but got the script lol.

[El Squibbonator]

What do you mean?

[hui43210]

What do you mean?

On the Eva App there's subs/cc for accessibility, which I'm all for as a disabled person myself, but it got hacked, leaked, and is getting translated.

By the way, is there a thread for the plot of the movie itself? I can't seem to find one.

[amitakartok]

Because we don't know yet.

[Blockio]

Yeah this is still all just very vague speculation

All the discussion is in the subtitles thread.
