What's the hurry when it means we won't be seeing it before spring 2013 or so...Originally Posted by Archangel
New trailer:
Good old Shinji seems to be back, curling into fetal position until his knight in shining white hair shows up.
Pirate Asuka!
Hasn't a new trailer been released ?
I've heard that but I've been looking through youtube to no avail - they all look the same and the number of repost is over 9000
First couple minutes of 3.0.

Wasn't there this rule against posting RAWs?
Since when does anyone care about rules.
Isn't first couple of minutes more like a trailer or teaser? It's not like such things would always be posted subbed.
No, they're the actual first six minutes of the third movie.
Eva 3.0 Preview - UTW
Now there's a sub out, in any case.
Rules don't apply to anime Deities such as Evangelion and it's threads.
Posting a RAW of Busou Shinki however might get anyone banned though.
Well thanks for the link, because the low res Kotaku feed was just too crappy for me to get any idea of what the fuck was going on.
It was a huge mistake for me to watch this. Now I know I'm going to download the first illegible cam of this movie possible because I absolutely have to know what the fuck is going on.
EDIT:
How the fuck is Unit 01 in space in a cross-shaped box? Didn't 2.0 end with him on Earth getting speared by Kaworu?

... maybe they sent it to space because they were so goddamn afraid of it? I have no fucking clue, will be watching a shitty camrip as well.
For the interested:

Not watching any trailers to not spoil myself.
I think it is, but just in case: This third movie is the first 100% new material, right? New as in "1.0 was mostly a remake, 2.0 was remake and new stuff mixed in" and now this one being completely new stuff. Right?

Sorry about that.

Keep any spoilers, no matter how vague or irrelevant, to yourself please.
As usual, the contents of the third movie cannot be discussed in this thread until it's out in full and subbed. Keep this in mind.
A sub for the cam is available here. Warning: the cam is absolutely horrendous and watching it will only convey the feeling of watching Eva 3.0 while blacking out on painkillers. A review follows this link and I will be openly discussing the film's content. Please don't read if you are concerned with spoilers although I like to think I can review something without sounding like a wikipedia plot summary. This paragraph intentionally too long to get you to stop reading if you don't like spoilers.
This is a tough film. I'm still not sure what I think of it, and the awful cam did not help. Eva 3.0 is pretty, as pretty as the last two movies anyway. I once again found the 3D CGI to be distracting and amateurish in its execution, although by this point I'm starting to see a kind of point in the juxtaposition of the unearthly, bizarre 3D construction of the Angels against the rest of the 2D animated world. The score is absolute lightning; I've been blasting it for days prior to watching the film. The surprisingly few action sequences were great, especially the opening orbital assault on Unit 01's containment unit, although it certainly helps that that's the only segment I saw in HD.
This movie, perhaps reflecting the tonal shift of the latter half of the television show, has by this point gone almost completely off the rails. The first two films were bog-standard adaptations of the material, largely with only the fight scenes sexed up. In this film, leading out from the ending of You Can (Not) Advance, Shinji is thrust into an unfamiliar and unwelcoming environment after being rescued from Unit 01, and it's reflected in the script as we follow Shinji, adrift and purposeless, throughout the first two acts of the movie. Now I'm personally a huge sucker for the introspective, psychological scenes from the TV show, but I think 3.0 suffers from including so much meandering, feeling an awful lot like the tail end of one of the TV episodes but without nearly as much room to breathe. The attempt to convey Shinji's alienation and confusion is successful, if a bit literal, but it chokes out time for developing Shinji's relationship with his father or even fleshing out much of the central relationship between him and Kaworu - I think they spend about as much time onscreen together as they did in the TV show for god's sake, where he was only there for a single episode. The first two films did so much good connecting us to these characters and making their lives seem more real and warm, and all that work is (deliberately?) tossed away or not continued in 3.0.
The film's title is now a direct indictment of itself - You Can (Not) Redo - and it's reflected in the very meta and self-referential script, with characters constantly having coded and symbolic conversations not giving a fuck about what's going on with the plot. Add that to the heavy homoerotic subtext (it's practically freakin' text at this point) and you'd figure this movie was a love letter to me. I just couldn't shake the feeling that the movie felt like the second to last episode of a series that hadn't done nearly enough legwork to get itself to this point and was deliberately obfuscating a lot of things to disguise that fact.
