The change is purely a stylistic one, as there is no change in pronunciation and all appearances of the Latin spelling of "Evangelion" remain the same. The film titles, in contrast to the normal katakana spelling of Evangelion ( エヴァンゲリオン, Evangerion), replace the e ( エ) and o ( オ) characters with the obsolete we ( ヱ) character and the infrequently used katakana wo ( ヲ), respectively. The intended Japanese pronunciation of this symbol has not been stated. However, according to an article published by Anime News Network, it is actually the end repeat sign ( 𝄇 or :| |). In lieu of the traditional classification, the production team has chosen to represent kyū ( 急,, "hurry") with the Roman letter Q, for "quickening." With the premiere of the third film, it was announced that the symbol to be used for the final film would be the musical symbol known as the final barline ( 𝄂 or | |). The concept of jo-ha-kyū ( 序破急), which roughly corresponds to "beginning", "middle", and "end", originated in classical gagaku music and is best known to describe the acts of a noh play. Thus marking a break with the previous structure and being a completely new piece. The previous three movies had Katakana that spelled "Wevangeliwon". Starting with "Shin", just like Anno's involved live-action titles like Shin Godzilla or Shin Ultraman.
