Could it be 'Rebuild of Evangelion: 3.0" instead (also change 4.0's), so it matches 1.0 and 2.0 alphabetically? Right now 3.0 and 4.0 are above the first two movies when listing them. Just something that bugs me, I like consistency. Thanks!

That's because we don't know the titles of those movies yet, but I'll add the colon for now.

Cool, thanks!

So the 3rd movie isn't out yet right?

The second movie just came out a month ago if I remember correctly

The Q Quickening thing may simply be a working title, they might change it to something that is simmilar to the previous titles and makes more drastic changes to the series, i.e.

Evangelion 3.0: Rei is [not] your mother

lol

lolx2 But, I'm sure Q.Quickening isn't the actual name. At least, I hope not.

I hope it's not "Q Quickening". Makes no frakking sense :[

As confusing as this is, each of the Rebuild movies actually have several official titles. For example, the first two movies are also known as Evangelion: Beginning and Evangelion: Breaking, which, according to wikipedia, are all references to the structure of classical Japanese orchestra. I'm sure we'll get a "Evangelion 3.0: ___ [not] ____" title along with the first movie poster/theatrical trailer. Hope that helps.

Actually, "Q Quickening" does make sense because the names of the first three movies form the word "jo-ha-kyuu".

In Japanese traditional arts and even iaido there is this thing called "jo-ha-kyuu". It is used to show the pace of the movement/sound. Usually it is written in the kanji 序破急 but here the last 急 (kyuu) is replaced with a Latin Q (kyuu).

In Jim Breen's dictionary, 序破急 is translated as "artistic modulations in Japanese traditional performances; opening, middle and climax (end)". I think that in our school it is "slow, fast, steep", but I'm not acutally sure if it should be "slow, steep, sudden (stop?)".

Unfortunately, this also means that I cannot predict the name of the last movie, if it isn't 完 (kan, "the end").

Anyway, "Rei Is (Not) Your Mother"...! XD

// edit: "if it isn't 完 (kan)"
+ or 終 (owari)
or 末 (matsu/sue)
or something with these kanji that mean "end".

Q/Quickening also makes sense thematically because...



so yeah, I'd say it's the actual film name.

Also, Eva 4.0 is never called "4.0" in the trailers, it's always just called "Final", but 4.0 makes sense to avoid any confusion I suppose.

I was hoping they were going to name #3 "You can (not) Retreat".

I just hope they call the last one "You Can (not) Survive".

Q (kyuu/Quickening) is just the Japanese title... It will probably get an "You can (not) see this movie until we release the BR in two-three years" title just like 2.0.

The japanese title of Eva2.0 is "Evangelion Shin Gekijyouban: Ha" and it was referred to as such in every trailer. The "You can (not) advance" was not present until the film posters came around.

It will probably be the same this time.

I like the second choice, but if I may make a small adjustment?

Evangelion 3.0: You Will (Not) Survive

"You Shall (Not) Pass"

Too much LOTR ._.

or "You Can (Not) Pass"

4.0 needs to be You Can (Not) Change

You just de-LOTR'd it.
