Impactful announcement made for Evangelion 30th anniversary fan event<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Late last month, we found out that there\u2019s going to be a live-action Evangelion<\/em> kabuki stage play<\/a>, which will be performed at the upcoming Evangelion:30+ ; 30th Anniversary of Evangelion<\/strong> event. It turns out, though, that even that\u2019s not the most surprising part of the festivities, because now comes word that a brand-new Evangelion anime short will screen at the event as well<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The announcement was made on the event\u2019s official website, which clearly states that this will be a \u201cnew short animation,\u201d<\/strong> so it\u2019s not just going to be a montage of memorable scenes spliced together from the Eva<\/em> TV anime and movies. Nor is it going to be a quickie \u201cHi, welcome to Evangelion:30+ ; 30th Anniversary of Evangelion!\u201d greeting or music video, as the announcement says it will be approximately 13 minutes in length<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Evangelion<\/em> creator Hideaki Anno himself is credited as the new short anime\u2019s planner, scriptwriter, and chief supervisor<\/strong>. Listed as director is Naoyuki Asano<\/strong>, animation director for Evangelion: 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon A Time<\/em>, the final installment in the Rebuild of Evangelion<\/em> theatrical anime series. Also involved, as supervisors, are Kazuya Tsurumaki<\/strong> (co-director on all four Rebuild of Evangelion<\/em> movies), Shinji Higuchi<\/strong> (who worked on all four Rebuild of Evangelion<\/em> movies\u2019 storyboards), and Ikki Todoroki<\/strong> (assistant director for the final two Rebuild of Evangelion<\/em> movies). So while it\u2019s not currently known if the new Eva<\/em> short anime will be a sequel, retrospective, or something else, it\u2019s clearly something the staff feels is important enough to warrant the combined efforts of the franchise\u2019s head honchos. No mention of voice talent has been made, but with every single main member of the Evangelion\u00a0<\/em>voice cast scheduled to attend the event, it would be surprising if none of them contributed their talents to the project.<\/p>\n The new short anime will be shown only once per day, and with Evangelion:30+ ; 30th Anniversary of Evangelion scheduled for February 21 to 23 at Yokohama Arena in the city of Yokohama, that means a total of just three screenings. However, the announcement says that the new short anime will \u201chave its world-premiere as an exclusive screening at the event,\u201d<\/strong> so it sounds like everyone outside the Yokohama Arena walls will get to see it too, eventually.<\/p>\n Related: Evangelion:30+ ; 30th Anniversary of Evangelion official website<\/a><\/em> Impactful announcement made for Evangelion 30th anniversary fan event.
