He absolutely won’t give much away in the soundtrack album LOL

...for now.

I do wonder how early these placeholders are placed on Google Play, and whether or not the current placeholder was set up a long time ago to go public at this time, but the extra delay meant that placeholder couldn't be "filled" as quickly. Maybe some countries would have seen a digital release sooner than expected after Japan's initial January theatrical release? That delay occurred so quickly and so soon before the release date that I'm sure something like this is just an automatically set placeholder awkwardly popping even though the movie won't be there until whoknowswhen.

The film synopsis is pulled from Wikipedia. If it's actually a placeholder, not a lot of effort is being put into it.
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

These are usually really bad for anime internationally. They couldn't care less it seems. It's not where tge big money is for these companies.

I feel that every time a film info panel on Google is created, it will be listed on Google Play, but that doesn't mean one day it'll be available for purchase.

If we search for a movie on Google, the same data is displayed on the Google Play page, including the synopsis (whether from Wikipedia or not).
Sorry for that comparison, it's in Portuguese, but you can see what I mean (I think)  SPOILER: Show

By the way, i thought the other three films were available for purchase in some country, I thought the unavailability was due to my location.

Holy Jesus :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: Could this mean... The movie will satisfactorily explain everything? That's enough screentime for each character to get development, explaining the 3.0 plotholes, maybe getting glimpses of whatever happened during the timeskip. I can't believe it

Awesome, thank you! :mari_love:

Also looks like there's a typo in the article, it says 2 hours 39 minutes instead of 34. Might want to fix that one soon. :wink:

Oh my fucking God.
And every single milisecond will be there because it needs to. I trust that.

This is fairly close to Haruhi btw. Just an insane effort.

This makes (not counting credits) Rebuild about 7 hours as opposed to NGE's (counting EoE) 10.
Actually a really long runtime.

Depends on your definition of explaining in this context. I wouldn't say 3.0 had plotholes, just things they didn't tell us on purpose. And who knows which of those we actually need to know.
I am sure though it will be a satisfactory conclusion. To me that's how NGE ended too.

Those madmen and women really did it, 154 minutes is hella long for animation standards and the fact they probably managed to negotiate it after being asked to trim down the runtime to just two hours back in 2019 is nothing short of awesome.

309+154= 463 mins, over 7 1/2 hours (don't know the cumulative run time of the credits to subtract)

Yup, Since the summer I've been thinking a lot about Rebuilds overall runtime vs NGE. Each episode is (without credits) about 20 mins 30 seconds. Obvs 26 eps + EoE is about 10 hours, but (sacrilege!) if it had been edited into a 6/7 hour compilation, like Gundam and Nadia, it would be possible. By sacrificing EoTV, the eps 14,20, 13 and (like 2.0) much of the action arc but with the most plot critical material rearranged elsewhere, you could still tell a satisfying, 'complete' story in a runtime similar to Rebuild.

Anyway, 154 minutes is beyond my wildest dreams (was expecting 130-5 at most). It's hard to find a definitive list of animated film runtimes, but anything north of 2hrs 10, at full, feature length animation quality is significant, let alone approaching Haruhi and Final Yamato (Shin Eva is 2 mins longer than the 35mm print of Yamato though!)

2 hours and 34 minutes! :w00t:

Man there's so much that can be done with such a long runtime, so many of the speculations of the movie's content become possible with that:
  • a long awaited conversation between Shinji and Asuka in the desert? We can do that.
  • a flashback on the events of the time skip? We can do that too.
  • flashbacks on the pilots' childhood? There's space for that
  • Shinji's recovering taking the time and depth it deserves to be satisfactory? We have all the necessary time for that!
  • everyday's life scenes of the Wunder and/or the Lilin city to flesh out the setting and make us care for humanity? Of course there's time for that!
  • There's still some more time left, do you want some super epic action scenes? :wink:

Two and a half hours huh? They're really gearing up for this film to be the epic grand finale of the series.

Here's hoping it pulls it off.
