Here’s the new, mini teaser for Evangelion 3.0+1.0, which was just confirmed for a release year in 2020. It features Mari, having more fun than she probably ought to.

More teasers have been promised until the end of August, so hopefully this is just one out of many!

Evangelion 3.0+1.0 will be released in 2020.

Khara’s official website and Evangelion’s official website have just updated with the news. What’s more, Yahoo! Japan is concurrently reporting the same thing.

Khara also promises to run trailer(s) for the movie until the end of August. They just shared this groundwork image from the movie:

We have a year now!

Stills of a cat, breast, and eye from End of Evangelion. The breast presumably belongs to adult film actress Maiko Yūki, who was popular at the time and credited on the film by name.

According to the original proposal/draft for Neon Genesis Evangelion (furnished in 1993, nearly two years before Eva would be first broadcasted), twelve of the most powerful Angels were positioned to attack the Earth all at once, completely obliterating the United States of America in the process. This was planned for Episode 24. Makes you think.

Moreover, the drafts feature two characters/concepts that were eventually scrapped for NGE: a character named “Conrad Lawrence” and “the ancient ruins of Arka”. Conrad is described as a 67 year old UN member and “Human Complementary Plan” executive - probably an early prototype of Kiel Lorenz, seeing as he is named after the same Nazi doctor. As to who or what Akra is, no one knows, except that Akra is mentioned in the manuscript Legend of the Jews.

in my conversations with people regarding evangelion’s anti-semitism, initially they’ll have no idea what i’m talking about only to be horrified and bewildered by how far its reach extends in this show. it’s good practice to be aware/cognizant of certain recycled narratives that nearly always indicate nazi-ism.

it’s impossible to extricate evangelion from the anti-semitism it trafficks in  - we have keel lorenz, whose name is an unclever amalgamation of a categorically jewish first name and the surname of the infamous nazi doctor anno named him after, who heads a shadowy, undercover cabal whose influence precedes governments, military, and even alien beings (sound familiar?) much of NGE borrows from the protocols of the elders of zion: seele exploits and is guided by the dead sea scrolls, an ancient jewish text, while simultaneously carrying out apocalyptic charges against unsuspecting innocents. the imagery linked to them by association - the hebrew tree of life, or the judeo-masonic eyes, are borrowed from kabbalahistic myth and tradition. 

the stereotypic hooked noses. i wonder where they found this trope.

there is the strange, curious trend on part of anti-semites to insist many nazis were secretly jewish themselves, or otherwise approximate-to-jewry in some form or fashion (think of the obsession with tracing hitler to remote jewish ancestry). one only has to search “keel the wandering jew” to get a glimpse. there is of course, no shortage in characters who are 1) nazi jews or 2) jews influenced by nazis in anti-semitic media. anno clearly drew MUCH inspiration from this canon of thought, and made no effort to hide its influence on him.

In case you haven’t heard, Khara (the animation studio working on Eva Final/3.0+1.0) is liveblogging their progress as the film nears completion. Based on their tweets, they’re currently in the editing stage of the film (yes, that’s the back of Anno’s head there), and clearly have no qualms about interacting with fans. If you want to keep abreast of Final’s latest developments, I’d keep an eye on this account for when they inevitably set the hype train in motion.
