'Thrice Upon a Time' official subtitle?

Edit- just saw you'd posted that part and can't delete post

Edit 2- they've switched to writing 'Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0' in the Rebuild style handwriting, when even last summer the Eiffel Tower poster had it in the old NGE font

Thrice Upon A Time is a science fiction novel by British writer James P. Hogan, first published in 1980. Unlike most other time travel stories, Thrice Upon A Time considers the ramifications of sending messages into the past and/or receiving messages from the future, rather than the sending of physical objects through time.

You better believe that almost made me cry.

I correctly predicted pencil strokes for the title, yay. And about the subtitle, unexpected, yet typically Anno if it's a sci fi novel name.
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."

I think the new image is a reference to "quantum Rei" at the beginning of 1.0.

The movie is going to end with Shinji seeing himself when waiting for Misato to pick him up during Sachiel's attack. :emogendo:

There's no train tracks anywhere in sight when the Rei appears.

“Bye-bye all of Evangelion’’. So the movie is pretty final.

I love it, but it can also be interpreted as all of Evangelion being destroyed for good, which is pretty hilarious.
I suspect a little bit of Engrish. After all, Anno wants there to be more Eva. It's more specifically about his Evangelion.

I think so too. There's plenty of air left in the franchise, but this could be Anno's final work in it. He's kinda burned out.

Anyone who can translate Anno's letter?

Also it's kinda mean of Khara to increase my hype for the film right after having to delay it.

Based on the Google translate of the tweet, looks like the staff can still work from home which is a good sign.
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

So I read up on the Wikipedia article about Thrice Upon a Time and found this at the end:
That very day, in this third iteration of the timeline, Murdoch and Lee go out shopping in Kingussie, and a certain young woman named Anne trips over Sir Charles's kitten... This is the origin of the story's title, Thrice Upon A Time.


Why I think that's relevant here:
SPOILER: Show

If Shinji goes to Wille's home base in Shin, this will be the third repetition of Shinji coming to a new home. :gendoscheme:

1.0: Misato brings Shinji to Tokyo-III per usual. This sequence ends in failure in 2.0 with Eva-01's awakening, the destruction of Tokyo-III, Rei "dying" and Shinji peacing out for 14 years.

3.0: Shinji's arrival at Wunder and flight Neo-Nerv HQ mirror the events in 1.0, but turned on their head in a dark reprise where everything's all wrong. Once again ends in failure when Eva-13 upends everything and Kaworu "dies". Asuka's not letting him peace out again though.

3.0+1.0: Asuka drags Shinji back to the Wunder again, and...

Will he get it right this time? ^_^
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!

Once again, Anno manages to subvert expectations in a way that would make even Rian Johnson blush. I don't think ANYONE on Earth could have predicted "Thrice Upon a Time" as being the official subtitle for this film.

Another interpretation of the title, apart from BlueBasilisk's is that 3.0+1.0 will be the third official canon ending in the franchise. However, there could be a couple different interpretations of this.

Option 1
1st Ending: NGE26
2nd Ending: EOE
3rd Ending: 3.0+1.0

Option 2
1st Ending: NGE26/EOE
2nd Ending: NGE Manga
3rd Ending: 3.0+1.0

The reason for option 2's existence is that NGE26 and EOE could be interpreted as being the same ending, given that they are both occurring within the same universe of that iteration of the franchise, albeit from different points of view.


I, too am interested in the translation of Anno's letter. Has there been any indication on what the runtime of the film is going to be?
Among the people who use the Internet, many are obtuse. Because they are locked in their rooms, they hang on to that vision which is spreading across the world. But this does not go beyond mere ‘data’. Data without analysis [thinking], which makes you think that you know everything. This complacency is nothing but a trap. Moreover, the sense of values that counters this notion is paralyzed by it.

And so we arrive at demagogy. - Hideaki Anno, 1996

A few months back there was a quote from one of the animators that the runtime is around 2 hrs- khara wanted it to be a bit longer but the distributors wanted more screenings

I think the composition with the railroad and Shinji is quite intentional

Actually I think the path converges to Shinji.
