Is it really such a terrible thing that more potential customers get to see advertising materials that the company has pent money on making? I simply don't understand what world these lawyers inhabit.

So, remember that time when Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace dropped their very first teaser before some really forgettable movie playing in theaters, and ticket sales for that specific movie skyrocketed because American audiences REALLY wanted to catch a glimpse of the first bit of new SW movie footage in over 20 years?

I can imagine Toho wanting similar performance, especially since Toho Studio can (And does) legally own both their studio AND their very own chain of cinemas. There aren’t any anti-trust laws forbidding that like there are in the States. And since Japanese legal systems tend to be more generous toward rights holders than non-rights holders, despite what Japanese law actually says about the issue, this results in studios like Toho (and their business partners, like Khara) trying to flex as much as possible in order to make as much ticket money as possible.

Wow I never heard of that, but Squenix did a similar thing when they've packaged the FFXV demo to a PS4 version of Final Fantasy Type 0.

Aye, I remember that. I already had FFT-0's CE pre-ordered but when news of that hit I was super ecstatic. Ended up playing the demo more than the base game. As for Eva, I don't see Khara packaging an exclusive trailer with any movies though; they're not releasing anything to home media anyways IIRC.

Please just call me Ian, "TheFrisky" is more of a title.

Funny thing is I liked Type-0 waaaaaaay more than what FFXV ended up being, but that's another topic.
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

Well, I can see Toho wanting that for their Toho-owned cinemas. And since Khara has an invested interest in keeping Toho happy (both studio and cinemas), then....

Would leave a bad taste in my mouth to have this in connection with Eva.


Well, it's right in line with this stupidity:

Minna No Eva Fan has made a transcript of the available text in the script cover (in addition to some of their own commentary).
Here's the [machine] translation:

SPOILER: Show
A photo taken after the general director Hideaki Anno's postscript recording. The script says "AVANT1" "AVANT2" "A PART".
__

Shin Evangelion Movie version: | |
AVANT1
AVANT2
A PART

Production / Color
Production / Studio color

[Handwriting character]
Avant 2 C134-137 "Kita" line addition?
Sn 037 "a" line addition?
Sn041 "Shi" line (thought)

H. ANNO '19 2/27

__

"AVANT" is a word that refers to the beginning of a movie. (※: In ": Break", the opening scene where Mari fights with the third apostle was called "Avant".)
The script that appears in the photo is supposed to include "Avant 1", "Avant 2" and "A part", which are the opening stages of the movie.
In addition, you can also check handwriting that seems to be a supplement to the lines of the three people, "Kita" (Midori Kitakami), "A" (Asuka), "Shi" (Shinji).

In Eva 2.0 there was only 1 avant, and it was exactly 77 cuts long. Cut 134 was this one (see spoiler below) 9 minutes 32 seconds into the movie. Assuming the 2 avants in 3.0+1.0 are pretty much as long as the one in 2.0 I suppose that we are going to see 2 separate sequences of 4-5 minutes, title screen and then something with the WILLE crew.

EDIT: nope, cut 134 is presumed to be in the avant 2 so this was very useless.

I also presume that one of the avant is going to be about Mari and Unit 08 doing stuff in the air like in the teaser, and if there is going to be another sequence I have to think it's going to be about either Asuka, Shinji and Rei or Gendo and Fuyutsuki.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that we already know what both of these Avant scenes are going to be (hence the script photo in effect reveals nothing):

Avant 1: The three pilots in the red waste (completed version of the sequence teased in a couple of short films so far; lets Shin pick up where Q left off)
Avant 2: Scene with Eva-08 and Wunder + crew (as per the teaser)

Is it just me or can you make out a drawing through the paper?

Edit: Yeah, I see it either as two calm introduction scenes, or one calmer scene with Shinji and co and then a fast change to intense action with Mari.
Shinji: "Sooner or later I'll be betrayed... And they'll leave me. Still... I want to meet them again, because I believe my feelings at that time were real."
Ryuko: "I'm gonna knock ya on your asses!"

Doesn’t Eva Q have, like, 2 “avants” as well? I mean, it certainly seems that way to me, between the space and the AAA Wunder scenes back to back. Even if it’s just one really long avant, that opening title doesn’t appear until a little over 32 minutes into the movie, after the AAA Wunder scene.

Or, maybe I’m just not understanding what an avant is...

I don't have the Q storyboards on hand, but this page says that they're divided into "Avant", "A Part", "B Part" and "C Part". So just the Operation US sequence is the Avant. It's possible the title card was moved around later in production. (If anyone can check where it is in the storyboards, I'd be much appreciative...)

Just checked. Only Operation US is considered the Avant.
And...wow, had forgotten this.
The Q title card was supposed to be shown at the end of this scene.
They moved it to the end of the A Part in the film.
So if there are no changes to Shin, we know where the title card will be.
Also, Kaworu's line was supposed to be heard during the title card while he was offscreen (the last part of his sentence). This was changed even in the storyboard though. You can still see the (OFF) but it's crossed through.
In 2.0 the Avan is the Mari scene.

A lot of thought put into where the title is.
Shinji: "Sooner or later I'll be betrayed... And they'll leave me. Still... I want to meet them again, because I believe my feelings at that time were real."
Ryuko: "I'm gonna knock ya on your asses!"

I'm assuming when they say the "third apostle" they're taking about the third Angel that appears in the beginning of Ha (2.0). I keep forgetting an English localization need not be a literal translation of the source material ("Angels" being actually "Apostles"). More interesting to know it's finally been given a name. It also looks likes the movie is around the corner. Maybe less than a year.
