If the poll is any indication, I doubt Rei will be treated with anything but contempt in FINAL, given how much Anno hates her.

I'm sure if Anno truly hated a character, then he wouldn't bother incorporating that character into the fictional work in which he has ultimate control. Also, anytime Anno has Megumi Hayashibara narrate anything in his live-action films, he always has her narrate in the "Rei Ayanami" voice. One could say that this Rei-in-all-but-name showing up in narrations in works like Love & Pop and Ritual is actually evidence of Anno's fondest for the character, or at least fondness for the character's aesthetics.

Personally speaking, Rei II's absence in Eva Q makes me aware of how fond I was of Rei, both in the "Rebuilds" and in NGE itself. Defenders of Rei will point out that Rei isn't truly expressionless, and nowhere is that clearer than in the juxtaposition between Eva Ha's Rei II, and Eva Q's Rei. Rei II has very subtle expressions, like she doesn't quite know how to express bold emotions yet. Rei in Eva Q just has completely soulless eyes. Even other characters tell her that her "original" was more fun. (Though, exactly what they mean by "original" when it comes to a series of clones is rather unclear. Are they speaking of Rei II or Yui?) I don't think Anno hates Rei. I think his goal to "destroy" Rei is more about his desire to create an intense narrative drama in his new Evangelion series. Remember, Anno considers Shinji to be his own self-insert character, and in Eva Ha Anno depicts his self-inter character chasing after Rei II, causing Third Impact. I'm not saying that Anno has a deep love for Rei or anything like that, but he's comfortable enough with Rei to depict his self-admitted self-insert having an intense emotional connection to her, one that leaves Anno's self-insert character very depressed when he loses her.

All this to say, I think we'll see a triumphant return of Rei II in Shin Eva. She's probably still in Eva Unit 01, probably functioning in Eva Unit 01 along side whatever it is Yui is doing in there.

You sure about that? Cause I thought that it was agreed that Anno views Rei as a symbol for escapism, and Anno despises escapism than anything else in the world. So I wouldn't be surprised if he just drops a bridge on her and forces Shinji to be with someone else purely because Rei means choosing an escapist fantasy over reality, which Anno is strongly against.

Again, Anno despises escapism, and he seems to view Rei as little more than a symbol for choosing that over reality, regardless of her character growth.
Proud fanboy of Rei Ayanami. :p

The message for Rebuild with FINAL with what happened in 3.0 will also make people devise and angry over it when it mocks on them more how Eva‘s message was disregarded in long terms.

Moyoco Anno liked a tweet of mine answering that tweet. Highlight.
I hope to continue the nerdery forever like the Annos do.
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!"

I've noticed they added a ' here. I can't look at it properly now, what else did they change?

Some limitations are in place but Sagisu can go back and record if it is needed for the movie.

Do you expect khara to release something on June 27th? Maybe a new trailer to sweeten the pill?

Collab visual with Toho Cinemas for the opening of their Ikebukuro theater on July 3rd.



I do kind of feel like some news could come by the end of the month. With how marketing has still continued at full power, and Toho slowly setting new dates for their postponed films, there's still a chance for this movie to make the year.

Wonder if Khara will decide to re-release the films in theaters in Japan like what's happening with Ghibli's Nausicaa/Earthsea/Spirited Away/Mononoke right now too. I just realized that the Ghibli films are being re-released at the same time as Shin Eva's previous release date lol.

Since there are two Avant parts, maybe they decide to release the second one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If we get to see AVANT2, then you can't ban me again as how it happened with my reaction on AVANT1. It can't be forced to change how I feel and the same is for the rest if I 'll see FINAL for real. My reaction on FINAL deserves it's own thread.

You should know that I go after them when it comes to this...  SPOILER: Show

Sorry to put it this bluntly, but have you lost it completely now?
Every single line of that is not only amazingly incoherent, but also a level of edge roughly equivalent to that of people unironically retweeting joker accounts.

I seriously hope this is some bizarre incoherent shitpost, otherwise I don't know what to tell you without going into the territory of personal insults, which I'd rather not.

A brief look back at his prior posts shows that he does that all the time.

I don't think any further commentary is needed, he'll get himself permabanned eventually.

^

Be assured that I'm the more tolerant and less triggered one here.

I won't let it go to waste to make FINAL get the same reaction it deserves from me as 3.0.

Not my problem what you think of it. And no need to discuss it further.
