To, not on.

Didn't he get it all over her bed?
...why do I know that/think I know that?

 

[mikefrails]

For the creator this must be such a cathartic experience. It’s finally over and a part of him probably doesn’t want it to end but it has to.

 

[Evangelion Unit-01]

The movie has been finished.

Twitter translation:
December 17, 2020 8:10 am All shooting and editing work in the studio is complete! Director Anno went directly to all the sections waiting in the company to report the end and work hard, and I was excited to finish it safely for a while.

 

[J-Roderton]

Now we play the waiting game...Again.

 

[Jon Neu]

I'm hyped, even when I shouldn't be.

I guess I'm an optimist, after all.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Looking forward to the soundtrack. Don’t have much hope for the movie itself.

 

[TomoItagaki]

Time to watch all the other Rebuild movies.

 

[ValiantTraveler]

Will the film be released on streaming platforms?

 

[Evangelion Unit-01]

Will the film be released on streaming platforms?

I doubt it. There isn't any way to watch Rebuild 1-3 right now other than the blurays and the first one is out of print.

 

[p_xavier]

I'm probably the exception but I loved Evangelion 3.33. It had the End of Evangelion vibe to it. Looking forward to the Mari-Yui relationship in the movie it had in the manga.

 

[Jasonadream]

What’s odd is that this was supposed to be released on June 27 2020. With all the marketing with Honda and merchandise that crept out over the summer it’s odd to see that the films finally completely edited.

Hopefully this is the last release date we get.

 

[Jon Neu]

Not gonna lie, I'm hyped as fucking fuck rite now.

 

[Evangelion Unit-01]

Not gonna lie, I'm hyped as fucking fuck rite now.

I’m worried they have more to cover than they have movie. Hopefully I’m wrong! Regardless I’m really excited to watch it. Hoping it’s closer to 1.0/2.0 and less like 3.0. I didn’t feel like the characters got enough time in that one.

 

[J-Roderton]

Awesome trailer. Can’t wait.

 

[Naibel]

Looks absolutely awesome (more Utada in the soundtrack, hell to the yeah ) BUT HEY, you know what they say about trailers !
I do hope though this epic showdown will close the saga in the perfectest way possible instead of leaving everyone confused EoE-style.

 

[Jon Neu]

The trailer gave me manga ending vibes.

And I'm okay with that.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

Notice the first writing used the symbol in music for a bar to repeat. Wonder if its significant

 

[ValiantTraveler]

The trailer gave me manga ending vibes.

And I'm okay with that.

It must be that shot of Asuka in winter clothes. The manga ended with a winter scene as well. I wonder if fourth/fifth/whatever impact happens and gets undone and Shinji ends up in some sort of alternate timeline/universe like in the manga. That would be underwhelming tbh.

The trailer is nice but what worries me is how the two Evas feel weightless while fighting despite being heavy giants. That’s something the TV series and End of Evangelion handled masterfully, whereas CGI mecha in general rarely feels like regular people moving and not giants that weigh tens if not hundreds of tons. To be fair I don’t remember how the Rebuild films handled that as it’s been a while since I last rewatched one of them.

But hey, unit 01 is back and that’s really cool.

The animation it's going to be among the best if not the best in anime, I don't have any doubt about it.

From this trailer alone you can already see the amazing animation of Mari and Asuka in zero gravity, or the action scene of the EVA 02+08 against the Failures Of Infinity, or the "evil wunder" making it's entrance.

That particular shot of the EVA 01 vs EVA 13 seems to me it's more based on a quick far away style fight like some kung fu movies, it's not meant to show the weight of the EVA's like the EVA02 vs the Harpies fight in EoE, for example.



The first 10 minutes of the movie already show that amazing animation with movements, weight and impressive attention to detail.

I actually really like the feel the CGI parts give. They fit exceptionally well with the art style and give an even more eerie feeling.

 

[Synless]

Is this the final episode or were there more planned? I always had it in my mind it was 4 episodes.

This is the fourth and final: 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 3.0 + 1.0

 

[Werewolf Jones]

It better be good after 3.0

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

@SLoWMoTIoN lost.

 

[sol_bad]

It's been so long since I watched the first 3 films that I have no excitement left for this. I'll have to buy and rewatch them.

 

[Labolas]

Here's hoping that it's better than 3.0. Man, what a disappointment that was.

 

[Jasonadream]

Hopefully they can patch up the messy continuity/time jump that 3.0 created with a 2 minute exposition that not only explains the past events but also further convolute what’s going on in the present in classic Anno fashion.

 

[infinitys_7th]

Not gonna lie, I'm hyped as fucking fuck rite now.

So I'm guessing the name confirms 100% that the manga and show are canon to the movies? Hope that is the case - it works perfectly with the themes of Rebuild.

Looking forward to this. I'm in the camp that 3.0 was very underrated and basically "TLJ done right", so hopefully this keeps on with that quality.

 

[Benjamin_MFF]

I would when they release a physical/digital collection of all the titles. It has been so long waiting for this series to conclude. I'll put it next to my platinum dvd set.

They are releasing a blu-ray collection with the original series, Death+Rebirth, and End of Evangelion next year. I suspect they'll do something similar for the rebuild films once the fourth is released on blu-ray. As of right now the first one is out of print.

[Venom Snake]

Anyone know of any complete Blu-Ray edition of NGE (TV-series + Death and Rebirth, End of Evangelion) with English subtitles?

I found something that includes the mentioned movies: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SWDZWJQ/?tag=neogaf0e-20
but only with japanese subs.

Any recomendations?

Might want to wait to see what the edition on the post above yours comes with. It's out sometime this year.

It looks amazing. Evengelion was always one step ahead in direction and camera movement. Even today that i literally hate anime i can still tolerate a new Evangelion.

I don't particularly like the CGI parts but i suppose they don't stand out as much as in other shows.

But the camera angles and some of the hand drawn parts are awe inspiring. I just wish the frame rate was a bit higher because it feels like a literal slide show in parts. This is no "24 frames/sec" Akira, sure, but it could use a few more in-betweens. Then again, the key frames are extremely detailed and do a good job transferring the power of these huge entities causing havok so it's still great to look at.

 

[pel1300]

Anno jumped the shark for me with 3.0. It was basically The Last Jedi of anime for me.

I loved Rebuild 2.0/2.22. It was really refreshing.

 

[UnNamed]

Ok, it's finally over.

At least this time no one will try to kill Anno.

 

[Jon Neu]

At least this time no one will try to kill Anno.

Except Asuka fans.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

Asuka fans are terrible people.

 

[Jon Neu]

Kaworu & yaoi fans are mad too.

 

[ValiantTraveler]

I read the spoilers on Reddit and the story looks solid. Lots of interesting concepts. I just hope there's enough action scenes, hopefully on par with the Eva 02 vs MP Evas in EoE.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Glad I never had intentions on waiting 8 years for it.

Japan gets MCU films day one but we gotta wait six months for this? Clearly bias.

 

[Naibel]

If what I heard about the plot is true then it looks like a very satisfying conclusion, a lot better than I expected. Finally a finale that doesn't shit the bed, it's been a while ! Most shippers are assmad but who cares, the movie tells them to basically grow up and move on. I mean it's been 25 years already, you can see Anno is kinda tired of all that, and I do appreciate his movie gives some nice closure to the whole thing. I'm now excited to check this movie out once it finally reaches the interwebs.

I do expect spin-off stuff in the near future though, gotta milk that Eva cow dry till the end !

 

[Jon Neu]

Anno has said he is done with Eva, but he will allow other people to do their take on the franchise.

So yeah, spin-offs are coming.

An Anima anime would be rad.

I will leave this here.

Really love Billain and Evangelion.
