Lets just assume they meant for it to be 3.0 but didn't get confirmation from Khara about the international title.

I really DO hope we get another of those bracket titles. They are memetastic and it should really have some continuity, I think. Also, I want the last one to be called You will (not) survive. Badly. Oh well, maybe Anno has an even better idea... But... bracket titles. PLEASE.

I wanted to hold Tsubame more

I wanted to stay together forever with the boy I like

Dude, you read my f***ing mind on what the last title should be. Maybe 3.0 could be something like 'You may (not) surrender" or something.

Something with "may" or perhaps "must".

I've always wanted 3.0 to be something like "You will (not) Survive", Final should be "You must (not) understand".

But that'll wait till Khara announces the title, or you know, gets closer to finishing it.

That was one of your jokes again, was it?

....I hope they do take their own work more serious than that.

The other titles were brilliantly fitting - "You are (not) alone" is about a lonely boy building a homa with friends, family and perhaps a love intrest for himself, where he has to stand alone in a horrible battle, but gradually realizes that the people around him are doing their best to make it easier for him.

"You can (not) advance" is about change/changing for the better - not only because it deviates so much from the original, but because it's all about going forward: "One step in one day, three steps in three days, three steps forwards and only two steps back". The cold, ambitious, jealous elite pilot becomes a kind-hearted hero, the cold, artificial girl becomes a source of genuine warmth and love, the hesitant young boy that never seemed able to decide finds a reason for being here. Of course, there are setbacks, but just by trying, these people (and their creators, who were pretty much chanelling their own whish to change in there) changed, at least a little.

I want more such beautifully perfect titles. The brilliant part is that brackets always mean that you decide whether you want that "not" there...

I'm... giving it up. Just give us Q already. I want the lots of Kaworu you kept promising us during all of the films with this cryptic little short appearances.

Don't ask about it, you just delayed it by another 6 months. The release of "Q" is to coincide with the rapture.

Who said it was my joke? Surely somebody else made that joke before I did.

I honestly don't try to read into the titles so much. I just take what sounds good and use that.

Hello, figured this would be a good topic to place my first post as it's neutral and non-threatening. :shifty:

I was thinking something along the lines of "You can [not] succeed" or "You will [not] succeed". I'm leaning toward the latter only because the word 'can' was used in the previous film.

Another good one (at least I think so): You must [not] give up.

EVANGELION: 3.0 You Do (Not) Belong & EVANGELION: Final You Will (Not) Despair.

Those are my guesses and I'm sticking to them.
NGE was a damned good anime
EoE was an anime masterpiece
And Rebuild is nothing short of epic
Long live the EVAs!!

Those are both good ones.

I'm gonna change my last one to "You Must [Not] Despair".

Evangelion Final: You Must (Not) Run Away

Honestly, I would be surprised if that wasn't the title.

I still support "Evangelion 3.00: You shall (not) pass" and "Evangelion Final: Your skill is (not) enough" :emogendo:

I still think the "You will (NOT) survive" title is the best for FINAL.

Evangelion: This Is (Not) the End

I think You Will (Not) Survive should be for the fourth one, personally.
