Evangelion: 3.0 is the third film in a four-part remake of Hideaki Anno and anime studio Khara's four-part remake of the Neon Genesis Evangelion anime series. Anno, the original creator, has overseen direction, script, and planning as he tries to put the definitive version of his legendary title on the big screen.  Japanese theatres will feel the impact of the fourth film in 2013.

Is there a reason the (not) is spelled in brackets? I keep trying to figure out what that's all about and just feel dumb now, but then this is anime grammer after all so I'm probably lucky there isn't a !!**£U"$%%(TR4467) in that title too lol.
 
The titles of all the Rebuild films (You Are (Not) Alone, You Can (Not) Advance, You Can (Not) Redo) can be read with or without the bracketed word to have the opposite positive or negative meaning. I think that's pretty much all there is to it. It strikes me as a nod to Shinji's (and probably Anno's around the time of the original series) mental state, how he could feel very much one way and then the other about certain situations, and events would make him change his mind.
 
Pretty epic way to debut a movie trailer.

Fan reaction for Asuka was expected, it's arguably the most interesting part of the next movie to look forward to. Just wish it had been premiering in the Summer. :-/
