Cult classic anime Neon Genesis Evangelion is getting a brand new series, with Nier director Yoko Taro responsible for the series’ composition and screenplay. It is currently being co-produced by original Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno’s Studio Khara.
The news was announced earlier today, at the end of the Evangelion:30+ 30th Anniversary of Evangelion event, a three-day long festival held in Yokohama, Japan to celebrate three decades of the franchise that featured exhibitions, talk show sessions, an Evangelion kabuki adaptation, and a brand new 15-minute short featuring Asuka Langley. The event was a culmination of various anniversary projects held throughout the past year.
Joining Yoko Taro on the new Neon Genesis Evangelion series will be two directors: Kazuya Tsurumaki (who previously helmed the Rebuild of Evangelion movies) and Toko Yatabe (who was a key animator on Rebuild, amongst others).
Prolific composer Keiichi Okabe, who has worked on the Nier, Drakengard and Tekken games, will be providing the music. The new show will be produced by original series’ director Hideaki Anno’s Studio Khara and CloverWorks.
Although plot details have yet to be revealed, the official announcement emphasizes that it will be a completely new series. Over on X, Yoko
