Given current chaotic cinematic conditions, that might not seem like such an excruciating delay from the previously planned release date of last June 27, but bear in mind that the last Eva movie came out all the way back in 2012, the Rebuild tetralogy began in 2007, and the Evangelion anime franchise itself, which Thrice Upon a Time is supposedly bringing to a final ending, got started in 1995.
Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time, as the movie is officially titled in English, will open on January 23, an easy-to-remember 1-23.
You can (really) mark the end date for the entire Evangelion anime franchise on your calendar now.
The third Rebuild movie ends on something of a cliffhanger, and the new 3.0+1.0 trailer doesn’t give too may hints as to what’s going to happen next.
