Well I don't know about an American release but one of Asuka Langley Shikinami's facebook page's admins who is currently at Tokyo right now says the Japanese release is 12/26/12.

I think it's reliable since I'm one of the admins on that page so I don't think he would lie about that.

Wouldn't we have heard some kind of announcement by now though? especially since it'd be airing in like a week or 2?

I'll believe it when Khara confirms it. Not before.

If anything it's probably a mistake and it's actually 12/26/13, in which case shitballs for making us wait that long.

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

You have a point but the guy did tell me that he is currently in Tokyo and said that he can't watch the movie in theaters but his mom would buy the blu ray release for him on the date I've given you guys.

So...you're going by what the guy's mom said?

Just using common sense here, no offense meant but here are the facts:

1.0 Theatrical release was in Sept. 2007
1.0 DVD release was in April. 2008

2.0 Theatrical release was in June 2009
2.0 DVD release was in May of 2010

Just going by these figures each rebuild release has taken 7-11 months to get a Japanese DVD release. Unless Anno & Co. plan on changing the game, the earliest we can expect a release would be in the summer.

Don't forget, 4.0's 2013 release date was taken off Khara's website, so they're probably no longer pushing to have materials out ASAP for a quick release date anymore.

If your info turns out to be true, my mind will be blown.

I understand and that makes a lot more sense but I just wanted to throw in this information considering there was no new info on the release date until I posted.

3.0 is still playing in Japanese theaters. It's not going to be out on BD for a while, and, when it's announced, the news feeds will explode.

Not only will the feeds explode, but anything even slightly related to Evangelion is going to be completely inundated with spoilers. It will be hard for anybody to avoid spoilers at that point. It would be like trying to hide from a Harry Potter fan the fact that Dumbledore dies in book 6.

Regardless, when it comes out on disc, that movie is going to be ripped and illegally posted with subtitles faster than you can say "Evangelion".

I hope EGF will still be a safe haven when that time comes. I hope we get a camrip before then, though.

I can't wait for UTW's subs. They were pretty quick with their subs for the first seven minutes, and they had the best video quality out of any of the versions I've seen. I also have their subs for 1.11 and 2.22.

Did IMDB have a citation for this new piece of info?
