Re: Evangelion 3+1, No 2016 Release?
The Japanese word for "hope" is dropped multiple times in a thematic fashion throughout the entire NGE series, and its last installment had an ending less than happy.
I'm having a hard time remembering if "hope" was ever mentioned at all in NTE. If it was it doesn't seemed to be interwoven into the narrative as a core theme in the storytelling.

Wasn't "Hope" a kind of big thing near the end of Q?
Please just call me Ian, "TheFrisky" is more of a title.

Shinji called the twin Longinus spears 'our spears of hope' at least once while climbing up Lilith's corpse. That's about the only direct mention of the word I can recall in 3.33 at least. Not sure about previous movies, but I think hope for the future was implied with the (Tree of Life-shaped) Ocean Reclaimation Station in 2.22.

While I don't agree with you stance on Evangelion being forced or not having a hopeful message Stillborn, I applaud you for now extending the feeling of hope and happiness instead of you having the view of negativity against all facets of life like you used to. Glad to see that you're making an improvement.

The trailer at the end says that Shinji will find hope in the next film.

The Wunder's been called the ship of hope, though I have no idea where the title came from. I don't recall hearing it in Q but I might easily have missed it.

Re: Evangelion 3+1, No 2016 Release?
Hope's mentioned a few times. Ship of hope. Kaworu says Shinji needs to find it and that they'll restore hope to the Lilin. Shinji calls the spears their only hope. It's in the end trailer narration, and I think Kaworu also drops it when he's telling Shinji about Third Impact. "There's always hope" or somesuch.
Someday I hope that we'll be reunited if that is what's destined to be. Perhaps we'll discover that elusive bible. And then we will finally be free!

Re: Evangelion 3+1, No 2016 Release?
It's not tied into the narrative in such a thematic way as it was in NGE. (Heck, people started talking about "hope" way back in Ep 7.) And if anything its usage in Eva Q leads to a false hope, as demonstrated by the actions of Gendo and Kaworu. I really wouldn't use specifically Eva Q references to argue anything "hopeful" being promised in the next film.

Re: Evangelion 3+1, No 2016 Release?
I imagine the next time preview saying Shinji finds hope would be an exception then

Re: Evangelion 3+1, No 2016 Release?
Ha! Fake laugh, hiding real pain.
Eva is tragedy, and whatever happy moments are in it are simply there for contrast. It's held true in every other part of the franchise, it'll hold true for 3.0+1.0/4.0/Final/whatever the title ends up being.
But back on topic. Where are the promos? Where's the sneak peek? Where's the teaser trailer?

Re: Evangelion 3+1, No 2016 Release?
I'd say it's more coming of age than tragedy, seeing that both EoE and Final (will most likely after what the preview told us) end with hope

Except it isn't, as has been explained to you many times.
It's held true in every other part of the franchise,
And this is just blatantly false.

Uh, HELLO? Have you read some of the other Evangelion Manga, even the OFFICIAL Manga? Shinji Ikari Raising Project? Angelic Days? HECK, even RE-TAKE!?
Do those end in tragedy? I don't think so.

Re: Evangelion 3+1, No 2016 Release?
Ok I just want to put a small note that I did not make this thread for the intention to be speculating about events of the movie or to generally start arguments about Evangelion in general. Just wanted to discuss the possibility of getting this movie in 2016 or not and what it turned into of a possible teaser trailer this year.
That is all.

Unfortunately Sicarius, that's pretty much a given with the Evangelion fandom now, considering how split this fandom is being now thanks to Rebuild.
Apparently, people only seem to exist in a spectrum of Black and White when in comes to negativity and optimism. It's either all sunshine and rainbows, or misery and pain.
