The official Eva Twitter account just teased that "lots of fun things" is coming for Eva's 30th anniversary...

Machine translation wrote:Today, October 4th, is the anniversary of the broadcast of the first episode of #NeonGenesisEvangelion.

This year marks the 29th year since its creation in 1995.

Next year marks the 30th anniversary, so we have lots of fun things planned for you.

Please keep an eye out!

We hope you will continue to support the #Evangelion series.




Yamashita also posted a drawing of the NGE logo to commemorate:



Granted, it's probably going to be a bunch of merch and commemorative stuff like it was for the 10th and 20th anniversary. Let's see. Regardless, let's keep up with things here.

Maybe they’ll announce a remake…a sort of “Rebuild” of Evangelion if you will.

Perhaps they've been putting off the Q & Shin companion books to tie in with the hype?

I'm just happy we're getting something. It can be anything really. I'm happy we will have the celebration Felipe has been talking about for years now :lol:

A proper remake of the series would be amazing, even if that's wishful thinking...

One thing I am hoping for is that All the Anime does another rerelease of The End of Evangelion in the UK next year. They did it in 2021, but I didn't go as I hadn't seen the show at the time.

Given that GKIDS' US rerelease was a big deal, I can see it being on the cards.

I guess they would be up to releasing some collectors stuff; I imagine some sort of memorial figure and so on. First, in Japan; then, the USA and Canada; and finally, in Europe.

My very early prediction is that on the last day of this event they will announce the next Evangelion project and it's a series/movie NOT directed/written by Anno.

Clean reboot.

Can't believe I'm reading into a semicolon, but I'd say the event title bears out your prediction; related but separate.

I think it's possible that we will see smaller projects this year and then an actual Evangelion remake next year.
A visual update for the original series is something I can see as being possible. It would be easy to do without Anno and it would also be a good fit for the 30th anniversary brand.

Well, Gundam GQX is coming out in the begining of the year, and then Khara will start working on the Space Battleship Yamato movie, so February 2026 does seem to be when they'd be ready to announce what their next project will be if it is Eva.

I'm not sure what more there is to say in the established Evangelion universe outside of what has been told already. Or at least what more a different director/writer can add to Anno's universe.

If it's something related, I can imagine Anno may want to release a "Director's Cut" of the Rebuild movies. There are things that may be added/changed in the first 2 movies or even in the last one (the 3rd was already edited very slightly before Shin).

Oh.

Oh my God. The semicolon.

It absolutely means something. No joke. Anno had been specific enough to insert meaning into the :|| sign, so even if he isn't at the helm of whatever specific project they have cooking (and we know he will most likely simply remain as a general overseer for the franchise at large) he probably came up with this, lol. Could a semicolon indicate a reboot?

It could be possible. I see the event as the capstone the anniversary rather than the beginning.

I don't want to be excited for nothing, but still I hope they'll announce some major projects.

Anyway it's funny the logo is that of an impact "gate", and it has the colors of the last 3 movies released on bluray in Japan; orange/blue/white.

The colors are the ones associated to every Eva entry:

Black (NGE)
Red (1.0)
Orange (2.0)
Blu (3.0)
White (3.0+1.0)

My unrealistic wish is them announcing a proper big budget Eva video game. Not another VN or cheap cash in.

IF there's a new Eva work, it'll be announced there.

And if it happens I hope it'd completely different from prior stuff.
Shinji: "Sooner or later I'll be betrayed... And they'll leave me. Still... I want to meet them again, because I believe my feelings at that time were real."
Ryuko: "I'm gonna knock ya on your asses!"
-Asuka: THINK IN GERMAN!!! -Shinji: Öh... Baumkuchen...
Hayashida: "As game developers, our work is special. All of us here can put smiles on very many people's faces with our work."
