'Evangelion' Announces Completely New Series! Script by Yoko Taro, Produced by Studio Khara x CloverWorks

Just when many believed the 'Evangelion' franchise had concluded with its final rebuild film, a completely new series has been officially announced. This massive news was revealed on February 23, the final day of the franchise's 30th-anniversary event, "EVANGELION:30+; 30th ANNIVERSARY OF EVANGELION."

1. A Groundbreaking Core Staff Lineup

The most striking aspect of this new project announcement is the highly unexpected and star-studded production staff.

• Series Composition & Script: Yoko Taro (Creator of the 'NieR' series)

• Directors: Kazuya Tsurumaki ('Rebuild of Evangelion' series), Toko Yatabe ('Evangelion: 3.0+1.0' Assistant Director)

• Music: Keiichi Okabe ('NieR' series composer)

• Animation Production: Studio Khara × CloverWorks

2. A Surprise Finale to the 30th Anniversary

The production of this new series was first unveiled during the Final Program of the 30th-anniversary festival on Monday, February 23. Promising a completely new narrative structure, the announcement has instantly captured the attention of fans worldwide.

Brief Commentary

The collaboration between the 'NieR' series' core duo (Yoko Taro and Keiichi Okabe)—known for their dark, philosophical world-building—and the Evangelion franchise is highly intriguing. With veteran director Kazuya Tsurumaki and Studio Khara maintaining the Eva DNA, and the visually striking CloverWorks joining as co-producers, expectations are sky-high for an entirely fresh, high-quality take on the Evangelion universe.
