I would be glad If they even rework 2.0 a little bit and add those scenes they cut and the little details I would prefer like Unit 02 using a replica spear instead of the thunder spear to better stablish those are already mass produced.

Not to mention all those scenes everyone here already knows about.

You know, Evangelion:3.333 made so much sense as a title. Why didn't I think about it?

I don't really get the connection and the shots you're drawing... could you please elaborate?
as opposed to 1.11 and 2.22, the animation in 3.33 always felt a little bit janky and rushed to me. So I guess there will also be some general touch ups.

I actually prefer the art style of 3.33 to the first two. It's clearly a departure but I think it does the ifilm some good to be more disconnected from the--at times--uncanny recreation of NGE's style.

Thanks, but I meant this remark specifically:

But rereading it again, I guess you were being facetious?

I love the art style as well. It's just that that its execution is a lot more janky and inconsistent in contrast to the other movies.

"Three-triple-three", how's that for a catchy moniker? :tongue:

When you posted this, my reaction was much the same as Freaky's. But it appears that you and Marifan-kun were absolutely on the money. These changes really are a big deal!

It's a pity that we don't know if will new scenes. On the other hand, we will have a correction of an eventual continuity error, and that's enough (for me).

Should I turn this into the official 3.333 speculation and discussion thread?

∆ Seems cool. Since it chronicles the start of it all.
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!"
-Asuka: THINK IN GERMAN!!! -Shinji: Öh... Baumkuchen...
Hayashida: "As game developers, our work is special. All of us here can put smiles on very many people's faces with our work."

Wouldn't it be funny if they only things they changed we already caught in the trailer and the rest of the film looks the same :D

Considering they began in 2018 for this re-cut - hopefully they have some good changes akin to 2.0 --> 2.22

I really wonder why this prolonged roll out, like, I would have felt a little bit ripped off going out of the rerun of Q, just to get the news that in two weeks time you can pay one more time to see the same movies with a few changes...?

Yeah that was a little weird. Maybe they wanted to show the film as is one last time.

I don't know where to post this; I hope this question is appropriate for the thread.

When 2.22 was re released in Imax, did it cut out the after credits scene of Kaworu spearing Eva 01? I remember there was speculation that maybe that scene was retconned given revelations in Q, namely how Shinji was responsible for Third Impact.

Uhh, yeah. That was, like, one of the main plot points of the movie.

Of course, the debate then arises over whether Shinji caused Near Third Impact directly or indirectly, and whether 2.0's post-credits scene is canon is a big deciding factor on that. Since no one commented on it though, I'm going to assume the post-credits is still in.
