Yep, the script of the 3.0/Q Next Time Preview is here. (As far as I can tell, nobody took a proper whack at it, just a description here and there.)

720 BD screencaps are here: http://s74.photobucket.com/albums/i267/sailorstardust/Rebuild%20stuff/Q%20Next%20Time%20Preview/

Before I forget, a HUGE HUGE thank you goes out to Reichu's Eva Commentary page that discusses Eva's script jargon. Having that resource seriously saved my ass with this translation. (For whatever reason, googling on animation or storyboard shorthand didn't return much results.)

Tokyo-3 has been FUCKED. Positively chilling stuff, in my opinion. If NME eventually gives us a Third Impact ending like EoE (instead of this Near Third Impact business) I wonder if the apocalyptic damage will manage to be several times worse than what EoE implied... This movie, whenever the hell it comes out, is going to be INSANE.

I proof-read my translation, but if I still managed to screw something up, any corrections would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you'd like to distribute this elsewhere (feel free), PLEASE credit me as the translator! I worked extremely hard (and for a good several hours) on this.

Enjoy!

Edit: Corrections provided by Reichu and symbv.

Edits and fixes as needed:

Edit # 1: Removed an unnecessary url-link.

Edit # 2: Fixed Eva-08 information; SmartOCR rendered the sentence structure a little funny and I brainfarted on how to read the line. Also fixed a line about Eva-01. Thanks, Reicchan and symbv! Changed "Preliminary" to "Cut" (the Japanese term is 予). Mentioned the scrapped from the script (but in the storyboards) Cut-7.

Edit # 3: Changed "Advance Notice" to "Preview". Derp on my part with super-literal wording.

TV 2.0, Q/3.0's Next Time Preview:

For archival purposes, I'm following the thread's namesake and posting the images (from the Internets) alongside the text:

[URL=http://s74.photobucket.com/albums/i267/sailorstardust/Rebuild%20stuff/Q%20Next%20Time%20Preview/?action=view&current=1314367254523.jpg][/URL]

Narrator Misato: "Shinji Ikari awakens. Beside him stands a mysterious boy. And then, a new world waits for him. Next Time: Evangelion New Movie Edition: Q. Next time as well I'll give you service, service~"

Death-Bait Kaji sounds awesome. This is something I really look forward to in Q.

Thanks for the translation, SSD. This really helps illuminate things in the 3.0 Preview, especially the note about Tokyo-03 being a mass tombstone.

This is excellent. Thank you very much!

(popping in my curious head) Yeah, I do not think there will be too much spoiler around a teaser trailer so I just jump in here...

Many thanks SSD for making this !!

BTW Is the original Japanese script available somewhere? Or everything was taken from the audio track?

Here is the entire 2.22 script in Japanese (one of the BD and DVD extras on the 2.22 Japan release): http://www.mediafire.com/?et3gbefu4ea7b9p

It should be alright regarding the forum rules since Funimation didn't get the Script as an extra for either 1.11 or 2.22. (I plan on eventually translating both 1.11 and 2.22 Scripts.)

For JUST the 3.0 Preview, here (the text is OCR-able):

Terrific work, SSD!

The stuff about the city and 'death bait' Kaji are very interesting, but I also wanted to call attention to a couple more details:

"Ocean prey" is very intriguing, especially in light of the implication that the Nerv personnel are on the ship.

"Intended to be steep here" is rather strange terminology to me. Is that a camera direction statement, or is there a use of 'steep' as a word of mood/emotion/setting that I'm just not that aware of? Online dictionaries gave meanings other than the usual ones including: "3: extreme or incredible, as a statement or story. 4: high or lofty.". Any further thoughts?

Thanks God for you SSD.

Seele00TextOnly wrote:"Intended to be steep here" is rather strange terminology to me. Is that a camera direction statement

Camera direction. The term is kochira http://jisho.org/words?jap=kochira&eng=&dict=edict and I had a hard time figuring out how to render it so people would know it's regarding direction and not something with plot/whatever.

KanameLangley and everybody else: Poka poka suru.

Thanks SSD.

A few things I would like to point out:


> Within an anchorage, aircraft carriers descend. Ocean prey.

オスプレイ is V22 Osprey a US transport helicopter.

係留中の空母に降下しているオスプレイ　would be translated as:
V-22 Osprey descending on an aircraft carrier in anchor.


> Eva-08 (floating) under the sky. It possess something resembling a circle in use. Track Back.

８号機（宙に浮いている）　下に天使の輪みたいもの有
The part of "天使の" was not translated.

My translation:
Eva-08 (floating in air). Underneath it there is something that looks like a halo ring of an angel.


> "As expected,"

はたして　means "at the end" in the context of where a story leads (there are other expressions in Japanese for "at the end" in other contexts)


> Ready with a gun leveled, death-bait Kaji shouting.

Where did the "death-bait" come from? 必死? 必死 in this context (and its common usage) means "desperately" "frantically". Only in rare context would it mean "certain death".

銃を構えて必死に叫んでいる加持 would be translated as
Ready with a gun, Kanji frantically shouting


> UP on Mari. She removes her glasses. Intended to be steep here.

メガネを外しながらこちらを睨む　
I would translate as
While she removed her glasses, she glared at this direction

I'm fixing some things with Reichu's help on IRC, too. I'll incorporate what you both said.

It was my first time translating an Eva Script, so I'm not surprised I missed a few things. Also, my OCR program formatted a few things somewhat strangely (whether Kanji or otherwise) but lack of a proper sentence structure certainly didn't help.

Thank you both!

Apparently, Cut 07 was in the storyboards but not the final script. I mentioned it in my edit as well.

Top notch SSD, Reichu and symbv.

Bet they cut this so they can change the names to whatever they want in Q.

Interesting stuff. Thanks so much.

"Close UP on the eyes glowing faintly"

To me, this implies that Kaworu's lance didn't kill Unit-01, or even deactivate it, but caused it to go into a state of suspension. Like sleep mode on a computer, maybe.

+1 cookie, SSD. :)

Mari sure looks pissed. It's probably a naked-interrogation á la ep 23, and she's not too happy about having to explain herself.

^Looks like it. Gainax'd.

...May or may not be XD
Mari's annoyance is probably more related to the fact that she prefers working alone/doesn't like giving explanations to adults (She cut of the comm link---) Also, they're making her take off her glasses, too.
She's practically blind without them, as we have seen. It's annoying when you can't see shit. XD

Those bundle of Reis are with Mari (note the same environment) and the tel-op describes Mari as apparently holding a conference with them.

Why she's supposedly naked or topless (or possibly wearing clothes, but we just can't see it due to the angle) who knows so far.

But aspects from the Next Time Previews change as 1.0 has shown us. At the very least, the 2.0 Next Time Preview (and the 2.0 promotional posters/sequence of events) are consistent with WHEN the order of events happen--even if not all the images make it into the final film.

SSD: With the 2.0 jikai, the narration itself mapped onto the final order of events, but not all of the images did (since not all of the images directly illustrated what Misato was talking about).

Which means that for 3.0, they most they could commit to a plot online is this:

- Confirmation of Eva-01's suspended status, and we learn that Shinji and Rei are trapped inside.
- Confirmation that Tokyo-3 is leveled.
- Nerv personnel are put into detainment.
- ...leaving Eva-06 free to check out the basement.
- Somewhere, Eva-08 and its pilot(s) are 'quickening'.
- "Seele's Children" assemble.
- ?????
