Late final month, we discovered that there’s going to be a live-action “Evangelion” kabuki stage play, which will probably be carried out on the upcoming “Evangelion:30+ ; 30th Anniversary of Evangelion” occasion. It seems, although, that even that’s not probably the most stunning a part of the festivities, as a result of now comes phrase that a brand-new “Evangelion” anime brief will display on the occasion as properly.
The announcement was made on the occasion’s official web site, which clearly states that this will probably be a “new short animation,” so it’s not simply going to be a montage of memorable scenes spliced collectively from the Eva TV anime and films. Nor is it going to be a quickie “Hi, welcome to Evangelion:30+ ; 30th Anniversary of Evangelion!” greeting or music video, because the announcement says it is going to be roughly 13 minutes in size.
“Evangelion” creator Hideaki Anno himself is credited as the brand new brief anime’s planner, scriptwriter, and chief supervisor. Listed as director is Naoyuki Asano, animation director for “Evangelion: 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon A Time,” the ultimate installment within the “Rebuild of Evangelion” theatrical anime collection. Also concerned, as supervisors, are Kazuya Tsurumaki (co-director on all 4 “Rebuild of Evangelion” films), Shinji Higuchi (who labored on all 4 “Rebuild of Evangelion” films’ storyboards), and Ikki Todoroki (assistant director for the ultimate two “Rebuild of Evangelion” films). So whereas it’s not presently identified if the brand new Eva brief anime will probably be a sequel, retrospective, or one thing else, it’s clearly one thing the workers feels is necessary sufficient to warrant the mixed efforts of the franchise’s head honchos. No point out of voice expertise has been made, however with each single important member of the Evangelion voice forged scheduled to attend the occasion, it could be stunning if none of them contributed their skills to the undertaking.
The new brief anime will probably be proven solely as soon as per day, and with “Evangelion:30+ ; 30th Anniversary of Evangelion” scheduled for February 21 to 23 at Yokohama Arena within the metropolis of Yokohama, meaning a complete of simply three screenings. However, the announcement says that the brand new brief anime will “have its world-premiere as an exclusive screening at the event,” so it appears like everybody exterior the Yokohama Arena partitions will get to see it too, ultimately.
