Rebuild of Evangelion

We have a new 15 second preview of Thrice Upon a Time.

Well I finally saw 3.0 the other night.

And now I'm hoping Shinji goes full edgelord. He's more than earned it at this point.

As Land of the Lustrous taught me.

Don't go full edgelord

Never go full edgelord. You just end up at the same poinf but you somehow manage to make it worse for youself.

But as Xenogears has shown me, you also get cool ass music and kick everyone's asses everytime you're onscreen.

I hope it’s not too depressing. Nobody wants to come out of the biggest disease since the first appearance of AIDS to be greeted by something EOE-caliber.

Don't get your hopes up too much.

Honestly, I kind of moved on from the Evangelion franchise because it was too depressing to really care anymore, especially when last year depression was a genuine concern for everyone in the world, myself included.

I'm just going to watch the next film as a way to properly close the door so to speak, I hope Anno gives us a happy ending for once but I also know how he works.

I'm of the same opinion too.

What else is there to expect after this?

Well, there's always "Advice and Trust" if you want to read something uplifting.

I also recommend A Crown of Stars by the same author, though that one has significantly more serious drama as Shinji and Asuka are further traumatized by post-canon experiences and have to spend quite a while putting themselves back together after the unexpected Big Damn Heroes entrance of the Big Good in the very beginning.

You know, I never actually read that fic. The very idea of the premise rubs me the wrong way.

Haven't read that one either. Though that's because 50+% of a fic being shipping is NOT my idea of fun.

Crown of Stars is... weird. Like it's nice and happy, but it all depends on the author's self-insert being the biggest deus ex machina I've ever seen in a story.

Yep, my point exactly. Self-inserts really put me off, regardless of execution (with the exception of Shinji as Anno's pseudo-SI, of course).

I swear they keep releasing the same trailer footage over and over. Youtube keeps recommending them to me and I swear it's the same video but I check and it's technically not.

New teaser.

Thrice Upon A Time was initially listed with a running time of 154 minutes and a G rating from Japan's Film Classification and Rating Organization.

Fun Fact, all the Evangelion films have been rated G. Including End of Evangelion.

Yeah....

So, two and a half hours of runtime, give or take around ten minutes for credits.

Well, let's hope this is a good finale, otherwise we will need Evangelion's own Mandalorian.

That's called FLCL and/or Gurren Lagann.

That runtime makes the movie the third longest animated movie.

What are the first two?

Or Eureka Seven :p

In any event, that should help rest any worries about it being too short.

, , : You're all wacky.

Obviously raziel365 is saying we need a series where some new character explores the world as it became Third Impact'd (assuming we're all running with the idea that the Rebuild saga really is a sequel to the original series).

From what I hear the two animated movies with the longest runtime are Final Yamato and the Haruhi movie.

Wow, Rei’s not even in the trailer. And that is a worrying amount of MP Evas...
