I believe that after a few scenes with Asuka, Rei Q's attention will shift to Shinji. We don't know what will happen to Rei Q after Wille picks up Shinji and Asuka.

Yes, probably neither Rei Q does, I hope she chooses to stand up for herself and accept her individuality along with maybe even communicate with her other sisters (the Ayanami series) which are being subjugated by Neo Nerv too, it wouldn't make so much sense for her character arc if she didn't help other people which are in the same situation as her. Time to put ReiQ character arc in the long list of most interesting plot points Shin needs to resolve, I quite enjoy this Ayanami incarnation. Would be great to see some more of Rei and Misato interactions too, Rei didn't interact with Misato in EoE at all and Misato (I rewatched 3.0 today, you can clearly feel Misato isn't comfortable talking about Rei and gets emotional about it pretty easily) still considers Rei as her surrogate son along with Asuka and Shinji.

Bye bye all of Evangelion and Evageeks.
When you feel sad remember that it's always epic Spinosaurus aegyptiacus time, you were born in the same planet as S. aegyptiacus, how cool is it?
I never understood why people hate the Rebuild because it's different and love the Series, can we just love it all without creating dilemmas and unnecessary discussions?

EscapismIsBad I believe that Rei Q can perhaps communicate telepathically with Rei II trapped in the core of Evangelion Unit 01, always assuming that in reality Rei II is not really completely dead instead. Gendo still has some work to do with the Ayanami series and what's left of Lilith.

That will depend on if there will be other Ayanami-types with the same level of sentience, Asuka's comment that she must be an early-model at the end of Q implies that the newest models are basically flesh drones.
As for her interactions in Shin, Asuka will probably be very busy, so it's probable that she'll try to interact with Shinji, since he's the one that knew the "original" Rei the best and Rei Q might be curious about her.

Did I hear correctly that one of the new things added was different lighting to the place where gendo is at the end of fourth impact, which looked like the bridge of the dark wunder?

Wondered if there has been any screenshot of that,

Yep, that's correct. Unfortunately it doesn't look like anyone from Japan recorded 3.333, so no screenshot.

I know most likely the priority for most people is Shin, but honestly, a new version of one of my favourite films ever is a pretty big deal. And it's strange to not know when or even if I can see it. Seeing Shin without having seen this first would also kinda bother me.

What do you fellow Evageeks think? Is a BD release happening?

Have a feeling tgey might want another run in cinemas before.

I am indifferent about this. The descriptions of the changes given by the Japanese to me enough context to watch the next film. But I'd not mind re-watching and doing my own analysis of the changes, I'm curious. As for BD, I believe that we will have a release, the problem is knowing when they will do it, I can't say.

The thing is I don't know if I can trust people to have found anything, or if everything found has been communicated, or if I would interpret changes the same way.

Definitely gotta see it for myself.

Yes I understand. At the time I did my own search on Twitter, found similar reports about the WILLE logo on VTOL crashed in Central Dogma. I hope this is not a "collective delusion". The changes in my opinion are minimal, I think this VTOL one is the most significant for me. As I said earlier, I still want to see these changes with my own eyes

I certainly won't believe reports about Shin when come out.

Yeah, if it weren't for the "WILLE" graffiti on the crashed VTOL (which help us establishing a timeline of the events of the timeskip and hints of what might had happened), 3.333 would only consist of a few adjustments in lighting and a change on Asuka and Mari's plugsuits, nothing really worth getting excited about.

But with that single little graffiti, 3.333 awoke all us obsessive nitpickers, ready to track any little bit of extra lore that might had been added by Khara! :lol:

I really want to see it but short of some company picking it up for a streaming debut I wouldn't expect to see a physical release until after Shin's theatrical run. I most likely figure it'll come out on a 4K & Blu-ray disc when Shin gets a home video release.

Yeah, as far as plot changes go that seems like the one bigger change.

That's what I'm most excited for haha

A nightmare scenario if true.

Edit: Don't worry, they won't be able to resist releasing it after this display of demand:

Huh, I was also thinking that it'd be bundled with Shin Eva, either as a separate disc or a "special feature" of sort. Despite the (rather subtle) visual changes, 3.333 is still a near-identical product to 3.33 and they probably don't want to sell the same film twice (the theatrical release was more of a limited-time exclusive engagement than a wide release too). 1.11 is kind of a different thing since it was there to "fix" 1.01 and not to mention it was also the first time Jo gets a Blu-ray release with additional 2 minutes of new scenes, so there's a little bit of more value in it.

I think the changes are substantial enough to warrant a resale. Just the fact that it is mastered at 2k now.

Oh when I said it'll get released when Shin Eva hits home video I didn't mean as a bundle - though I'm sure that will be an option. I just meant it will be released on home video AS WELL AS.

I still think either when Shin Eva hits home video or a whiles after Khara is going to do one final Boxset release where they touch up all the films one last time for 4K. If they can do it properly with the old materials I still see 1.0 and 2.0 getting the 3.333 pass for a 4K disc release.

Well if they released at the same time, I could still just watch one after the other. Though it coming out would be more exciting to me.

Would make the inevitable high price sting a little less too lol.

No. They're not going to put this up for free on Youtube.
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

You're probably right. Though it is a little weird to update 3.0 to make it more in line with 3.0 + 1.0, and then not show that updated version in a pre-release marathon for that film...

Seems even without those differences the last film will probably be perfectly understandable.
I definitely wanna se 3.333 before.
