Why is this called 3+1 instead of 4?

Eva is incredibly pretentious

4 is an unlucky number in Japan

Anno is a hack. Any questions you ever have about any work that has his name on it traces back to that statement.

>>23390266 (OP)
Because Anno is a pretentious hack

To make people seethe.

The 3 represents the long string of despair the world had to face with the existences of the Evangelions and Angels (like, say, make the three be the original series, End, and the first three movies of Rebuild), while the 1 represents the shining hope at the end of despair.

Japan hates the number 4 unless it's for a horror movie(even then they don't use it, so much for atheism).

>>23390266 (OP)
Anno loves to insist upon himself.

>>23390266 (OP)
Subversion

>>23390266 (OP)
Instead of just giving the number 4 to the audience, Khara added a complex math equation to the title so the viewer has to work hard and really think about it to get the correct, hidden answer of Evangelion 4.0.
Hideaki Anno and Kazuya Tsurumaki are, as always, absolute geniuses. When i saw this title and worked out that 3+1=4 i felt incredibly intelligent, and now i can mock the media illiterate who disliked this film, who probably simply failed to notice this due to their lack of insight

Anno is a retard

Just what you'd expect from the master, Mr. Anno

Because 4 5 6, duh

Because 2 3 4

Lmao what? Go back predditor.

Because it is literally that.

The whole first part of the film was supposed to be on 3.0 and later got expanded.

You can testify this by watching the imageboards by mahiro maeda special in 3.333.

So it is a continuation of 3.0 + a new story

Because Mari is an unnatural +1.

tl;dr: they have always been careful to refer to the Rebuild movies as :1.0, :2.0, :3.0 with the leading colon. So it stands to reason that 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 by themselves are the story beats of the original, :1.0, :2.0, :3.0 are the story beats of this repeat iteration, and +1.0 indicates what comes after.
