The marketing scheme for Q was pretty rad, so the journey till release will be fun. Next up, lantern festival in August :)

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I do have to wonder what the "anti" means though. Let me take a wild guess and say it's antithesis. This movie is going to have Hegel coming out of its ears.

The red/blue color scheme throughout the Rebuild films has been amazing, especially in Q. I look forward to lots more pretty visuals in 3.0+1.

For continuation and end, that seems easy. It's a continuation in that it's the fourth film, and the end because it's the last film

If this helps any figure out the trouble lines (second lines), like I said before it feels rather poetic than straightforward? :huh:

I've been feeling a tad sick the last few days; this healed my body and restored my soul.
Would recommend 100%, more Final news, best remedy out there ( ´‿`)
And now, my useless estimation: 2 more years before it's released.

Maybe it's meant like this?
"The continuation, and the end. The error, and the antithesis."
The continuation=The error and The end=the antithesis?
it could be saying the rebuilds being a continuation is wrong but the second part is weird

Like every friday, even today I was looking for any news about Eva, even asking myself if there 'll be any news about 3.0+1.0.

And now seeing this artwork poster here, I'm not sure what to think or feel about it now. Happy? Affraid? Uncertain?

Since the very day I know Eva and since I've seen 3.0 and how it shocked and traumatised me so horrobly and even now it still haunts me, I'm not sure how this continues and ends in 3.0+1.0 after all what happened.

Everything can happen in 3.0+1.0 because of how uncertain it is, but no matter what happens there, everything what 'll happen in 3.0+1.0 is the final consequence of what happened prior in Rebuild and 3.0 and it is irreversible. There 'll be no way back and everyone 'll get what they deserve form what they have done and what they 'll do.

It 'll be the day of vengeance and truth when 3.0+1.0 'll be released. And everyone 'll dread and beg for this to end.

That's why I don't want to expect and hope anything from 3.0+1.0. I won't make the same mistake as other did when NGE ended. All I want is that Eva finally ends and no more, so I'm done with it.

I won't feel myself any different from watching 3.0+1.0 than how I felt after watching EoE and 3.0.

About the artwork poster itself: It's strongly reminiscent to those two unoffical posters for 3.0+1.0 which are very atmospheric too.

Sooo, before this did anyone else forget that this movie was ever going to come out, or am I just slipping in my Eva fandom?

Anyway, this is awesome. Though, as we all know Eva is never going to end.
I used to work in a factory and I was really happy because I could daydream all day -- I.C.
And thanks to EVA, I've started like myself and that has made me very happy. Mr. Anno, please keep working on EVA a lot more.
and thank you so much for everything!!

The ride doesn't stop yet.
Khara's twitter has shared this photo through their new instagram account (apparently it's a sketch version of the evasite's new cover).

Neat now things will start to get interesting, let the dissection of every little tidbit begin. :D

Now time for some wild speculation. Since the story is primarily about Shinjis journey, I'm guessing the whole "after that" and "the end" thing is about his situation at the beginning of the movie. From his perspective, no friends or family, no home to go back to and the only person he connected to died partly because of him. "not" and "anti" is that there is something for Shinji to hang on to and thing aren't as bleak.

I relate to this so hard lol.


So am I understanding this right? The antithesis of an error would imply a happy ending right? Error is such a weird choice of words. Do the mean like mistake?

The official English translation implies that 非 and 反 are being used as modifiers, like prefixes. 非 is usually rendered "non-", so that the translation goes with "NOT" instead is interesting. Someone in the relevant Reddit thread suggests that this is referring to the "(NOT)" in the international titles, which sounds on point to me. If this is the case, then "anti-" could plausibly refer to the fact that the "NOT" version of the titles is a reversal of the conditions that exist without the "NOT". (Shinji's alone, then he's not. Relationships are progressing -- read: advancing -- nicely, then shit happens and it all goes to hell. Kaworu makes Shinji think he can fix -- redo -- everything, but it doesn't work out that way.) The antithesis, if you would.

Anno has officially reached Twin Peaks-level crypticness.

"After that," could refer to events after the image in the picture, obviously after 3.0.

"THE END" could refer to the end of the Rebuilds...or THE END OF EVANGELION, whose ending landscape this shot evokes.

NOT could refer to the (NOT)s in the first two Rebuilds.

ANTI could refer to all of the (NOT)s being reversed in Final.

In other words:

You are alone. You can advance. You can redo.

Shinji is most definitely alone (in terms of being ostracizedby everyone) at the end of 3.0), so is this outlining the framework for Final?

Wonder if we'll get an international title in a few weeks at the lantern festival?




Just hope it gets released before the real-world Second Impact.
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

So, a cruel angel's antithesis?

Seriously though, it's great that they've finally given us something official.
