Me: "I think the earliest they could get the film ready and released is mid-March."
Khara: "We're bringing it out the day after Lockdown ends!"

I love being wrong sometimes.

(And if they're bringing out the Utada Hikaru single the day after release instead of waiting a few days like originally planned I wonder if this means the Shiro Sagisu score is also being expedited. Maybe like March 12th, the Friday. Did I miss that news? I want my pre-ordered discs!)

Definitely didn't expect them to literally release the film as soon as the state of emergency ended but I'm not complaining.

Now, after 8 years plus 4 months, we can finally stop theorizing about what will be in this in movie and find out what will actually happen! And then the cycle will begin again.
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

Well, if that news is out it's possible it got buried in the middle of the storm. Let's see, you should have your answer pretty soon! ^_^

Speaking of Shiro & Music:



Google Translation: It's the familiar emergency music (do you say it yourself?)
I hope it ends with a peaceful major chord like this ending ...

Now it's really happening, just exactly as my profile image says. IT WAS HAPPENING ALLLLLL ALONGGGG!!
*petrifies and is left floating adrift in space, where it will outlast Evangelion: Thrice Upon a Time 3.0+1.0, as an eternal testament that the human race existed*

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?
SPOILER: Show
Be careful of 3.0+1.0 spoilers

This is truly the end of this account, forever.

If they don't resell it for crazy prices I'll try getting it. Hopefully we get a scan too (if it's not spoilery, which I doubt it'll be).

So march 8 huh. Day after quarantine. Happy the film is coming, but Toho is as money hungry as it gets. Whatever.

Question, as I'm not sure based on what I've been reading, are the theatre restrictions actually being removed as well? I'm sure they're getting eased, but the announcement calls for people to follow Covid rules at the the showings I believe.

Great news (as long as it is as safe as possible and the situation really is reasonably good enough).

Now we need a support group for the "when am i in my country going to be able to see this?", a "I got spoiled despite my many precautions" and a "I need spoilers NOW" crowds.

Pretty sure the 50% capacity seating is still in place. With seating rules in place and the film being so long to cut down on screenings longevity is the key to this films success. Not a big opening weekend.

Demon Slayer had an incredible opening weekend even with theaters at half capacity, so fingers crossed for Shin Evangelion to pull off a similar performance - or perhaps even beat it!

If I could watch the film illegally which I absolutely won’t.

I would still purchase it on blu ray obviously.

I just meant with Eva being 155 minutes long it means fewer showings in a day. If one auditorium can play a 2 hour movie about 5 times a day a 2.5 hour movie can only run around 4 showings a day.

Okay, 4 showings a day, but how many screens? Wiki says that Demon Slayer opened in 403 theaters - 365 theaters with normal screens and 38 with IMAX screens. Now with both Toho and Toei distributing, how many theaters would it open in? If it opens with 500 theaters across Japan, having one fewer screening per day would counterbalance against having 4 screenings instead of 5 a day, pretty easily.

EDIT:
This article does examine some of the reasons why Demon Slayer did unusually well. If it's true, then Shin Eva is already at a disadvantage against that particular record.

Haha. Oh the film is going to be a huge hit. I'm not trying to argue that.
I just see this one having real legs like Demon Slayer did and not be a huge opening and quick drop off film.

Just checked CDJapan and the Utada Hikaru CD I've pre-ordered is now dated March 10. Shiro's score is still "Undetermined" but I hope that updates soon.

I think there are new rules in place, but I don't know much more than what Google translate tells me.
