I won't get my hopes up for a release within the next 18 months but if they were well along in production & wanted to blow fans minds they would release it on or just around September 1, 2017.

Otherwise known as the 10 Year Anniversary of the release of Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone.

That would be awesome since next year has two series anniversaries. But you never know with Khara til they do it. Look at the Dragon Dentist specials and Patlabor Reboot. :tongue:
Someday I hope that we'll be reunited if that is what's destined to be. Perhaps we'll discover that elusive bible. And then we will finally be free!

A release on July 19th, the 20 year anniversary of EoE, would blow my mind way more than the 10 year for 1.0. Both fit rather nicely into Eva's cyclical themes. Although, perhaps it would be more appropriate to align with 1.0's release, since it'll be titled 3.0+1.0, and it'll complete the circle.

So even Anno gets that thing when you start a new project to ease writers's block/creative burnout?

I think that should make all of us lowly mortals/ starving artists feel better. Besides, Q drained ME emotionally and I only watched it rather than spending years making it.

But it's... pretty normal for people to need breaks & changes occasionally? Now he's working on Final with a fresh head.

I wanted to hold Tsubame more

I wanted to stay together forever with the boy I like

I find this little article on AnimeNewsNetwork interesting. Apparently Shin Godzilla won Best Screenplay at an awards ceremony recently and the film's producer - not Anno - received the award on his behalf. From the sounds of what he said Anno wasn't there because he basically wouldn't say much himself & is actually deep in production on his "newest work". Question would be is his "newest work" finishing up voice directing on 'The Dragon Dentist' which starts airing next weekend OR is it the final Eva?

Only problem with the article is it says Anno is interested in doing a Shin Godzilla sequel & then links to a previous article of theirs where Anno plainly states "I'm done. Let someone else continue the story". Hopefully the sites editor will fix that.

Judging by Khara's twitter Dragon Dentist is in its final crunch phase. Would be silly to waste time on Final when another project actually has a due date.

That's what I was figuring.

I don't know much about anime production but would they really still be working on vocal performances this close to release? Curious.

*P.S. For fun be sure to check the forum of that ANN article. I've never posted there & 99% not interesting in what could be on those forums but whenever Evangelion comes up some dude with a PenPen avatar comes in & has a serious conniption fit about 3.0. It's guaranteed. Imagine being that upset at a film that four years later you still HAVE to comment every time the filmmaker or something associated with the film is mentioned. It's a fun little thing to notice.

^ That is kind of funny. I like how many of the sterner critics of Eva Q often refer to the Eva Shin movie as not being able to "salvage" Eva Q. Quantitatively bad movies can't be salvaged by sequels. The best a sequel can do with a bad film is forget the messier details ever happened and move on with a fresh outlook on the series. (Thank you, Star Trek Beyond.) The commenters focus of Shin Eva's role in "salvaging" Eva Q speaks more to the fact that they feel uneasy of the direction of the narrative or world-building elements within the film, and the burden of responsibility on Eva Shin to guide that narrative back into a more preferable standing with its audience, and less of the audience's thoughts on the filmmakers' talents in executing the film in a positively affective manner.

If Google Translate doesn't fail too hard, but is something it usually does, Khara already finished dubbing "The Dragon Dentist".

THE most annoying fuck I've ever witnessed in ANN threads post-release of Q. About time a mod has him on a leash, goddamn.

Anno was at "Shin Godzilla vs. Evangelion Symphony" event as a special guest and, quoting the article, "it was announced that the next Evangelion film is on its way".

Then a text appeared on screen:

シンゴジラの次回作及び、シン・エヴァンゲリオン劇場版: || にご期待下さい。

"Please expect the next installment of Shin Godzilla, and Shin Evangelion Gekijōban:||"





I also found on "evangelion shitposting" FB group (yeah I know :lol: ) a photo of Anno at the event:

Nothing new but it's still good to hear that the movie is really coming out "soon®".

Meh. I'm not a fan of Rebuild. I prefer the original show and EoE.
I have no message of hope to deliver [...] I know only that every single one of us reeks of selfishness, masochism and death. We have created a system in which it has simply become impossible to live

Congrats
I mean, predictability is the central attraction and the narrative hook that we've all come to expect from the Evangelion franchise. How come Anno can't realize this? Twice? - FreakyFilmFan4ever

Google translated:

Also, it seems that some misunderstanding has occurred, "The next" Godzilla "series refers to" Godzilla of anime and titles of Hollywood version ", and Anno Hideaki makes a sequel to" Shin Godzilla " It is not to work on. # Shingodzilla # Shin Godzilla # Gosieva Symphony


So Anno has no "distraction" while making Final.

As I said before, despite recent news, I'm only convinced about 3.0+1.0 being made and released, when I see a real trailer or teaser. Beyond that I don't care and expect nothing about how it 'll be. It only has to end the way it deserves like EoE to NGE years ago, because of what happened previously in Rebuild. It has to end and nothing more.
I carry out things right to the end. No. Matter. What.

It'd be nice, but not really necessary.

^ They could always do OVAs' after 4.0 if they wish to explore that time period. Perhaps focused on different characters PoVs.

I hope they don't rush it though and take their time with it. Rather wait 1 or 2 more years for quality than for something rushed.
