Does anyone else think Final isnt really the Final

[DeadClones]

OBVIOUSLY Anno will next do Rebuild of GunBuster. :P

I would watch that. Yes. Yes, I would.

[Amitch1991]

I don't think Anno will do anything with Evangelion after Final to be honest, i don't see where else he can go with it, i mean, we have a 25 episode series, Death and Rebirth, End of Evangelion and we will have 4 rebuild movies once Final is released.

There really is no need to do anything else with it after Final

[Viking]

Final released as two separate movies? Yeah! Maybe the first part could be a recap of the first three movies with 20 or 30 new frames ( 1 second total ) explaining what happened during the timeskip.

Just kidding! ... I hope

BTW, I don't think we'll see something EVA-related from Anno during the following 10 years after Final.
Lots of spinoff for sure, maybe a re-release of NGE in BD, but I can't think of anything else about EVA.

Bye

Rebuild of Gunbuster would be awesome, but I'd like Anno to create a new thing entirely. Making the God Warrior stuff into an animated series would be sweet, especially with mechs added in.

[driftking18594]

I don't know, does Anno really want to be doing Evangelion for the rest of his life?

Now here's the thing. Evangelion is a cash cow franchise. Even if Final is the last thing Anno does with it, will it be the end of evangelion? I'm not sure who actually owns the rights to the property. Yeah Khara are the ones making Rebuild, but do they actually own the rights, or is it bieng lent bout by Gainex? After all Legendary pictures made the Nolan Batman movies, but Time Warner is the company that owns the charecter, so even if Legendary never touches it again there will be more Batman movies. Eva is at this point a cash cow franchise. So Final might not be the end of eva even if Anno never touches it again.

I just wonder, if there's a Rebuild of Rebuild, will Asuka's surname change again?

[moonwolf2024]

She'll be Asuka Shikinami Soryu (that's awful)

And no...once Final is over..i doubt we'll see any new Eva. I think he'll leave the manifestation of his depression behind and focus on new material.

[Hyper Shinchan]

Anno is going to be done with Evangelion after Final.

^ Absolutely

Why am I not so convinced about it?

[unit01]

has anyone else heard if evangelion final is suppose to be coming out this year ?

[Blue Monday]

Nah, 2015 for sure.

[unit01]

just that there's a lot of buzz over here with people saying it will be out this year ?

When they announced the name of 3.0 and the 2012 release they also announced that 4.0 would be coming out in 2013 if I recall correctly. That was on January 1st 2012, though, and needless to say Khara isn't very good at keeping deadlines. After 3.0 aired they also removed the "2013" from the Final splash page on their website or something, so basically the assumption is 4.0 probably won't be out this year. Combine this with the fact that we waited a few years between each release of the series so far, and that there's 2 years till 2015, and 2015 is such an important year for the Eva franchise, and I think 2015 is a good bet, too. Personally I hope it's 2015.

You heard it here, folks! 4.0 release date: October 4th, 2015!

[Atropos]

Wow, I just realized that's a lot closer than I thought.

Shouldn't it be September 13th, though? ;)

[Blue Monday]

2I date is my birthday, yo!



Kaworu's birthday as well...

[Nuclear Lunchbox]

If Anno is truly finished with Evangelion after the Rebuild movies, I'm not going to be all that happy about it. Then again, we waited for 11 years from the time EoE came out to when we heard about the first of the Rebuild movies. That was long enough of a time for us (and Anno) to recover, and it gave him time to work on other things before he made his triumphant return to the Evaverse. Maybe he'll just give us another long, healthy break.

[Reborn Upright]

Why am I not so convinced about it?

Personally, I'm not either. It's true that Anno has a great many other things that I'm sure he really wants to work on. But I don't really think that Anno sees Evangelion as a burden so much anymore. I've read at least one quote of him calling it "his life's work" and expressing some pretty genuine-sounding love for it.

Even still, it's an endless fountain of cash for Khara/ GAINAX.

[Electric Sachiel]

Go back to making artsy live action films, work on producing films like "Kantoku Shikkaku", do special effects for Ghibli, you know, all the stuff he's been doing other than Eva.

Agreed. I think Anno or Khara should collaborate with Studio Ghibli to make a sequel to Nausicaa Valley of the Wind. They'll need to twist Miyazaki's arm for that of course! Or maybe they could do a remake of Gunbuster?

Or maybe something original.

But in all honesty I would love to see a truer-to-manga adaptation of Nausicaa.

[Guy Nacks]

A Khara/Ghibli anime collaboration would be fucking glorious.

Miyazaki would probably be up for the idea, considering Anno was something of a kohai to him and they seem to get along rather well.

This is of course with the hope that Miyazaki doesn't die before that can happen.

If Anno must toil in the past, I say he finishes Satoshi Kon's Dreaming Machine:
