Actually what I'm saying is, you are wrong. Evangelion 3 is in the works and it has been in the works, despite what you say. Now there is no reason to continue this and persist just because you want to have the last word, I'm waiting for you to resort to personal attacks and ad hominem. You've said what you had to say and I've said my opinion. You're not changing my opinion on the matter, I'm not changing yours, which puts us at a stand still. Then kindagarten logic comes into play, we can stand out in the play yard saying "You suck!" and replying "No! You suck!" all day but it will get us nowhere. I can tell you Evangelion 3 is in the works and that will do no good, you'll persist in objecting to it. I'll further say that Evangelion 4 is happening. But what does it matter, it's as useful as you telling me no to both or either. So let's put this to rest and let bygones be bygones, we have nothing further to discuss.

For the record, what I have said here is (so there is no confusion): Production of Evangelion 3 has started and that Evangelion 4 is still planned.

The policy of those who objected me are saying: Evangelion 3 hasn't even started production and doubt the existence and tangibility of Evangelion 4.

Just breaking it down and simplifying this all into simplistic policies, platforms, positions and what not for those who might be wondering just what the disagreement is.

Edit 1: What really pisses me off here is NOT the disagreement at hand or how other members have objected to me. That has nothing to do with why I'm upset. Rather, what pisses me off is that its taken and taking YEARS for the Rebuild series to come to North America. That is such an insult to Eva fans who live in North America and don't know how to speak Japanese. I don't necessarily blame this on Funimation, I understand they are trying really hard. The problem is that Funimation is not being given, ahead of time, the go ahead for distribution rights for Evangelion 2, 3 and 4.

DarkApollo, telling people they're wrong again and again doesn't make you right. If you can't substantiate your claims, don't make them.

You are also coming across as being overtly adversarial. Please do something about that. Thanks.

I reserve the right to tell someone they are wrong if I deem it so. Just as anyone has the right to tell me I'm wrong. And I disagree, I'm not being overtly adversarial, I have not spewed any ad hominem. I never said merely calling someone wrong would make me right, but if I view someone as wrong, I view them as wrong and vice versa. That's just the way it is. People will not always or even necessarily usually agree. That's life. I'm disregarding your advice as it is not helpful or meaningful.

Edit 1: This is a forum, people will express differing opinions, obviously. You defend the rights of others to tell me I'm wrong but you attack me for me telling them they are wrong. That is called double standard.

The goal of debate isn't to prove that you're right, but to become right if you aren't. I have no interest in proving superiority, but I've provided an official statement that, as of the time this thread was started, 3.0's production had not. You've presented the existence of a teaser that is, in all likelihood, made of mockup animation like the first one was. Give some evidence to support your statement and I'll be glad to say that Sadamoto and I were wrong.

You do not speak for Sadamoto and are in no way his representative, so you could not conceivably apologise or admit being wrong on his behalf. I agree on the goal of debate here, this is not personal, its not about you and I. So we have common ground there.

Or maybe you are Sadamoto's representative, secretly hiding out here. In which case, time for you to leak information, even if we have to torture it out of you.

Saying I'm glad Sadamoto was wrong has nothing to do with speaking for him. I mean I'd personally be glad if he was wrong because that'd mean I'd get to see the film sooner. So do you have anything to substantiate that Sadamoto didn't know what he was talking about or not?

According to Reichu, I don't know what I'm talking about. My claims and positions are unsubstantiated, I have no proof or validity whatsoever. I'm as good as a troll who needs to alter behavioral patterns or else I get banned. So I dont think you have anything to worry about here. I'm the one that needs to worry, the one with cause for concern.

On the other hand, if you wanted Evangelion 3 in your lifetime, maybe you do have something to worry about.

Well the fact that you still haven't provided proof sure seems to point to not having any. Having seen the preview from the end of 2.0 hardly counts.

I asked for your statement, not Reichu's. Not quite sure why I bothered, though.

If that's the case shouldn't we be expecting a release date some time this April?

I will agree with DarkApollo about 3.0 being in the works. After all, if the script isn't finished yet, it
's certainly being written, and a title and some mock up stuff all but prove Anno has at least give some thought to at least some of the concepts that'll be in the movie (after all, the preview wasn't necessarily written by Anno).

However, about there being finished animation, I'd say the furthest along they would most likely be would be is Story boarding IF that. Most likely, still preproduction. But preproduction does count as in the works.

Live Action Movie: Evangelion, after all, is also in the works.

So everybody is semi-right!

Nah. 3.0 will come out in 2011. Probably May or June.

It was October 2008 that we got news on the title of 2.0 and that Sadamoto poster with all the kids on the stairs. So the only real information I expect to hear on 3.0 this year is a title and hopefully a new poster....and not just another variation on the original one. Only now with more eyepatch.

At least back up you statement, like I do, saying "a friend of a friend said so..." or something :cool:
Coz this now sounds like you're pretending to be some guy with inside information, who doesn't even try to hint at the source your info is based on.
Of course the movie is in the works. Way before 2.0 made it to theaters, the production crew (well, there are different stages in movie production) must have went on with the following project. At least this would be normal in the case of movie series = standard procedure. So, a script should be the least what's finished, especially now, more than half a year after the theatrical release of 2.0

View Original PostDarkApollo wrote:Or maybe you are Sadamoto's representative, secretly hiding out here. In which case, time for you to leak information, even if we have to torture it out of you.

Then who the hell are you? How do you know 4.0 is still planned? For one I don't really understand now how poeple got to say that they (Khara) plan to finish the series with just a 45 minutes movie (Q/3.0). But on the other hand, if you don't deliver something that supports what you write, then I wish everyone would just ignore you as far as this matter is concerned.

Thanks a lot for the research. Hmm, so for a summer release we're running a bit late on official information. I mean, I guess there's no standard marketing scheme for promoting movies so-and-so-many months before bringing them to theaters. Still, let's hope we get to see this baby in autumn. But then, maybe we just have to wait another year, to keep the pace (about 2 years between each movie). Plus, this means they get more time to milk the cash cow. Ach, speculations...

Well 1.11 had a trailer for 2.0 on right.

So maybe 2.22 will have a trailer for 3.0 and possibly a release date because the 2.0 trailer had a date at the end.

I find the release date being on the DVD/BD exclusively unlikely, but possibly Gainax could announce something just before the release of 2.22's DVD/BD release.

Kind of like how 2.0's cinema release was advertised.
