The title for the new film series is "Evangelion Shin Gekijou Ban", it will consist of 4 parts with the first part arriving in Japanese theaters in early summer, 2007. Staff include General Supervisor: Hideaki Anno, Director: Tsurumaki Kazuya , Character Design: Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, Mecha Design: Ikuto Yamashita, Animation Production: Khara (Color) Studio. The scenario of the 1st part will be written by Hideaki Anno with storyboard by Shinji Higuchi. Key points of a supposed interview which may or may not appear in the forthcoming edition of Newtype attributed to Toshimichi Ohtsuki of King Records have also been circulating.

According to that information:
-The content is quite different though the time base of the story is the same as the original TV series.
- It will be a remake, however, it is not a re-creation but a "new work".
- The approach will be different than what Tomino-san did with the Gundam Z New Translation films, there will apparantly be a large amount of new material.
- Even if the TV series has not be seen, the viewer will be able to enjoy it. Though the content becomes easy, it is not redundant to those already familiar with the series.
- The technique that purposely scatters difficult words and phrases will not be used any longer.
- As an antithesis to current animation industry segments. It is an attitude on the production side to pull the act in the age that started from Eva.

[Cypherdrive S7]

Siriously!? SWEET! I can't wait! :D

[Spartan-117]

Excellent, more nonsensical talk about hedgehogs, ceilings and non-ringing phones.

[Gigatron_2005]

Yay!:)

Uhh...what?

Anyway, this sounds like it could be interesting. Hopefully the inflated psychobabble will be reduced and the amount of animation will be increased. Looking forward to it!

[Spider Striker]

Very interesting indeed. Hope the dub manages to get the original actors. Especially Tiffany Grant as Asuka and Spike Spencer as Shinji. And Amanda Lee as Rei. And.....

[CripNite]

Sign me up for this.

This is pretty cool. Hopefully it's not all dorky happy like that manga that's out now.

I think I'm going to have to get around to rewatching the original one of these days... it's been lingering in my mind a lot lately.

[Altercron]

Uhh...what?

Anyway, this sounds like it could be interesting. Hopefully the inflated psychobabble will be reduced and the amount of animation will be increased. Looking forward to it!

Definately would like for the animation to be increased. But as far as goes psychobabble...that's what made the show interesting in the first place.

[Wing alpha]

dunno after figuring out about half the show the insane amount of confusion got old

[flamepanther]

- The technique that purposely scatters difficult words and phrases will not be used any longer.Sounds like they plan to do it straightforward and make it less confusing.

[Scantron]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting they get rid of the psychobabble completely, but the original was far too indulgent with letting characters ramble and babble (a problem that got worse when the animation budget declined and they still had to fill 22 minutes an episode). There are a number of speeches/monologues in the original that could have been half as long (at least) and a number of speeches/monologues that would have been better replaced with fully animated flashback sequences to give the show a faster pace. The weird psychobabble was definitely part of Evangelion's charm, but the original took it too far, IMO.

You've got a good point. Though it was interesting to listen to and understand how each character changed as the story went. Towards the end, it just got to be too much. Half the time, the show wasn't keeping my attention enough to understand what they were going on about, so at the end of the eppisode, I sat and went "wtf just happened?"

But, then again, I was mostly in it for the giant robot-things they like to call the EVAs...and my personal favorite part of the series was the movie The End of Evangelion....Just 'coz...XD

[Frognal]

So Emovangelion is back, huh.

[flamepanther]

Here's what Anime News Network says about it:According to the October issue of Newtype (Japan) (On sale September 10), four new Evangelion movies are in the works. The four movies will include a prequel, a mid-series movie, a sequel and a "final" movie. The prequel movie is due out early summer 2007.

While the new story will be set during the same time frame as the original TV series, Newtype states that it will be an entirely new project, not be a remake or improvement of any sort. Newtype also mentions that viewers will not need to have already seen previous Evangelion material in order to understand and enjoy the new movies.

Hideaki Anno will write the scenario for the first movie and will be the general director and manager for the entire project. Kazuya Tsurumaki will direct the movies while Yoshiyuki Sadamoto will provide character designs and Ikuto Yamashita will provide mechanical designs. Shinji Higuchi will provide storyboards for the first movie.

Khara, a new studio that shares office space with Gainax, was recently set up and is seeking production staff to work on Anno's new project.Assuming this is correct, that means we get what may be four stand-alone stories set before, during, and after the original anime series, not an entirely new timeline from scratch. It could be cool, but if that's correct it will be weird for End of Evangelion to not actually be the end of Evangelion.

That's a good concept. I'm really looking forward to this.

[JD]

I too hope there's less wtf psycho crap. The sh*t in the end episodes/movies pretty much ruined it for me.

[tikgnat]

I liked the psycho crap... at the beginning of the show. Toward the end it got too much, and couple that with the massively cut back animation and we have a recipe for disaster.

Having said that the new release of the original series is supposed to be fixing that (Evangelion: platinum). When the box set out for this comes out at the end of this year I'll be getting a set... I've got the series on VHS. (VHS? Whats that?)

Could be good. Could be tasty. Tasty like EVA-Unit 2s insides. Mmm.

[flamepanther]

I liked the psycho crap... at the beginning of the show. Toward the end it got too much, and couple that with the massively cut back animation and we have a recipe for disaster.I liked it even at the end. It gave the series character and it delivered a message that a lot of anime fans and other geeks need to hear... if only more of them understood it. It's my hope that this new Evangelion movie series tries to communicate with clarity what the original tried to say but mostly confused people. It would be a shame to drop that element completely. That would be like the body of Evangelion without a soul.

[QuantumShock]

It's good to see the anime again, but I always get the chill everytime I think how I tried to understand the show by watching them all 5 times. :S

Psychobabble? Isn't that the fish you put in your ear so you can understand everything?

Oh I agree completely, I actually really liked episodes 25 and 26, alot. I still watch that when I get depressed, really pick me up. I will say I never liked Asuka until the movies, she really kicked alot of ass when fighting the unit 5's.

It's good to see the anime again, but I always get the chill everytime I think how I tried to understand the show by watching them all 5 times. :S

Amateur. When it was comming out on VHS, whenever a new cassette came out, I watched the whole series through again, before watching the new episodes.

Then with how many people I showed the series to in college, I swear I must have watched Evangelion begining to end at least 60 times, possibly 80. Mind you we watched in marathons. Whenever we introduced someone to it, we made them watch it all in one sitting. I guess it was our little groups version of hazing.

Still Evangelion is no where near as messed up as the Revolutionary Girl Utena Movie, not even a bottle of whiskey will make that thing make sense.

But less I digress, More Evangelion makes me a very happy happy happy person.

[Spider Striker]

Oh, I get it. Not a remake, but continuations of the same story. Now I'm really curious to see it. Especially since they keep saying that you won't need to see the original to see these. It's not like Evangelion is something you can jump right in the middle of.

[Chaos Incarnate]

Psychobabble? Isn't that the fish you put in your ear so you can understand everything?

No, that's a Babelfish. Anyhow, all you bashers, the 'technobabble', 'emo', and 'wtf is going on' has been what has made the show so popular. Instead of giving you the story, plot, and or devices on a silver platter, they make you work for it. That's what adds to the greatness of that series.

That's not why I don't like it. I don't like it because what they made you work for was ultimately unfulfilling.

[Xcandescent]

A movie set after the movie?

Shinji: "I'm kinda hungry. What's open?"
Asuka: "NOTHING is open. You blew up the world, idiot."
Shinji: "Crap. Say, where'd all this meat come from?"
Asuka: "..."
Shinji: "No, seriously. I just need some bread and matches, then I can --"
Asuka: "YOU DISGUST ME."

Seriously, there's no way to make that horrible ending any better, without scrapping it entirely. If we're lucky, maybe they will.

-XCN-

[flamepanther]

Now I'm really curious to see it. Especially since they keep saying that you won't need to see the original to see these. It's not like Evangelion is something you can jump right in the middle of.That's why I'm thinking the middle movies happen concurrently to the TV series as a kind of side-story. It could easily start from the same backstory events that started the events of the show and lead up to the same ending, and then continue.Seriously, there's no way to make that horrible ending any better, without scrapping it entirely. If we're lucky, maybe they will.The world's not over at the end. It's in the very early stages of being reborn. Life and civilisation are coming back, they just haven't done so yet. Anyway, they already said it's not a rewrite, so changing the ending is unlikely. Instead I guess we'll get to see how the world is rebuilt, which a lot of people have wondered about.

[Powerlinx Kupp]

Transformers and Evangelion in summer 2007, There is a God. Whether he loves me or really hates me, however, still remains to be seen.

[Cypherdrive S7]

Could be good. Could be tasty. Tasty like EVA-Unit 2s insides. Mmm.

Mmm, Eva-02 BBQ :D

I have to say, watching the original DVD release, then watching the same eppisodes on the platinum DVDs, there is significant improvement. Not only in the animation quality, but with the sound. In the original, all of the sounds, music, and voices were all on one track. Now they went back and sepparated the different parts into different levels, giving a more realistic quality to the sounds. And making it sound awsome in surround sound!

All the last eppisodes made me do was go "WTF!?" while looking for something to make the headache go away. IMO, End of Evangelion actualy made more sense to me than most of the series did. And I loved the fact that EOE was Anno's response to fans that hated the end of the series. Killing off all of humanity except for a whiny emo boy and an angry red-head was an awsome "F-YOU" to all the haters...XD

[pinoy78]

ONE of the new Evangelion works is to be a kids series?

http://www.moetron.com/2007/03/07/puchi-eva-evangelionschool-new-animated-work/

WTF are you smoking Anno?

[QuantumShock]

Chibi-fied Angels ftw

[Wing alpha]

well I ....think that after reading books about the ending to get it- and to this day kinda unfullfilling*most probably because I think I got over my emo stage very quickly*

now Im exited to see this. and wonder how it will go.- better than that who the hell are gonna be the enemies the whole angel lot and the mass production types are dead.

now.....me thinks Ill watch the scene where shinji and the eva go syncroniced 400 someething percent.... I need some violence

I have a feeling this is a takeoff in the world shinji created in the final two episodes.

As for Anno, he is smoking $100 bills, because he knows he will have money to burn.

[Koji Berserk]

I thought the whole point of Eva was for the watcher to come to their own conclusions and own ideas, dumbing it down seems pointless.

I have platinum collection on DVD and EoE on DVD too so for me personally I see no reason to watch or purchase this again.

[flamepanther]

So far, I haven't seen any indication that Evangelion@school has anything to do with the new movies that were announced before. More likely it's there to either revive public interest in Evangelion before the movies come out, or to be ready to cash in on them once they do.

[Gigatron_2005]

Wow. That school thing looks like horrible and fail. Im tempted to email my Japanese contact about this to find out what this horrible thing is all about... although I should have emailed her a long time ago.. kinda feel bad to ask about a translation now....

And since somebody brought up the last episodes of the series, am I the only person in the world that didn't go "wtf?!" at the end of the series? :p

[Omik]

I thought the whole point of Eva was for the watcher to come to their own conclusions and own ideas, dumbing it down seems pointless.

I have to agree; dumbing down the series (aka making it straightforward) is going to hurt it a lot. I don't need to have all of my anime explained to me to the last detail; that's why I love Lain so much. I really hope they don't screw it up too much; though super eva marathons are gonna be a lot of fun: 26 episodes and 6 movies = bathroom break of death.

btw, what's the word on the live action eva movie?

[Wing alpha]

And since somebody brought up the last episodes of the series, am I the only person in the world that didn't go "wtf?!" at the end of the series? :p
No you werent.

funny thing I said"and with this the weirdest series ever ends"

[Vangelus]

Slight Super Robot Wars spoilers!

...




...

I wanna see them make a movie of whichever SRW continuity has the Shinji who had a huge set of cast-iron balls stapled to him from hanging around the testosterone wave that are the Super Robot pilots.

[Spider Striker]

.....Huh.

[Blaster]

I don't know if anyone has seen this, but it's apparently a new concept for Rei that has been floating around the Japanese blogs. I don't know whether its concrete or not, but I thought I'd share :)

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b251/taaublaster/Rei.jpg

Pumped about the new series by the way :D

[Sol Fury]

The long hair doesn't suit her. Rei looked better with short hair.

[Fairy Princess]

The nly thing I ever liked about EVA is all the Asuka and Rei PVC's I can buy in completey silly costumes.

[Spider Striker]

The long hair doesn't suit her. Rei looked better with short hair.

Agreed. In fact, if it weren't for the "00" on the plug suit and the way her arms are posed, I wouldn't even have recognized her as Rei.

And if it turns out this "Eva@School" thing is based on the "perfect world," I'm all over it. That's one of my favorite parts of the series, and the magna based on it has been a lot of fun.

[Knightsword]

The pic looks like a Rei/Asuka hybrd, not to mention the berrits were always a Asuka only thing

[flamepanther]

The pic looks like a Rei/Asuka hybrd, not to mention the berrits were always a Asuka only thingThe nerve clips? All of the Eva pilots wore those as part of their plug suits.

[Powerlinx Kupp]

The nerve clips? All of the Eva pilots wore those as part of their plug suits.

Yes, Asuka just wore them as part of her regular clothing too. Hers were much more pronounced, but I distinctly recall shinji wearing them during all that sync training.

OUT ON SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2007

[QuantumShock]

Hm....where's asuka ?

[Gigatron_2005]

That picture is suffering from a severe lack of Asuka. :(

[Atomsplitter]

Well, the wall in the top left does seem to be bloody, maybe that's what happened to her!

[pinoy78]

Thanks for the translation toonces.

[Caterwaul]

...And so Gainax gets ready to milk Evangellydonut for another decade+ :P

[Edge]

Well if this is a remake asuka didn't show up till about episode 7 so she may be in the next one.

my question is who is the girl next to toji? Is that the chick that had a crush on him and made him food?

[Toonces]

Well if this is a remake asuka didn't show up till about episode 7 so she may be in the next one.

my question is who is the girl next to toji? Is that the chick that had a crush on him and made him food?

That's what I was thinking too, about Asuka.

And yeah, the girl is Hikari.

[pinoy78]

Well if this is a remake asuka didn't show up till about episode 7 so she may be in the next one.

my question is who is the girl next to toji? Is that the chick that had a crush on him and made him food?

If this is a remake of the first six episodes then why is Kaworu there?

Didn't he ONLY show up during the last three episodes?

[artiepants]

Psychobabble? Isn't that the fish you put in your ear so you can understand everything? no, that's the Bable-fish ;)

[Omega Supreme-1]

If this is a remake of the first six episodes then why is Kaworu there?

Didn't he ONLY show up during the last three episodes? They may be taking a page from Angelic Days and making Kaworu be there from the start. For all we know, they may also take a note from Angelic Days and have it so that Shinji has lived his entire life in Tokyo-3.

[pinoy78]

Looks like Unit One is also getting a facelift for the new movies.

New NERV logo too.

[NotoriousBIC]

Hmm, some extra green in the waist and breast section. And did they make the head smaller or is that just the crest?

[QuantumShock]

Nice though, alot more green now.

[Eric]

EVA-01's...got more green. That's cool! I can't wait for this. :D

[Autovolt 127]

Woo-Hoo,It's about Damn Time,Evangelion would Return!

I Hope the have a Figure for EVA-01,if yes,I'm Buying it!

[Spider Striker]

So do we have anything about when this is coming out besides the year? My apticipation keeps growing.

[pinoy78]

More teasing from the latest issue of Newtype.

September can't get here soon enough.

http://aycu12.webshots.com/image/15011/2004407851396665659_th.jpg (http://allyoucanupload.webshots.com/v/2004407851396665659)

[QuantumShock]

Is it from an episode against Ramiel ? The shield EVA 00 used looks different now, more like "ready to handle the uber destructive beam rawr". And what's with the pruple-ish colour on its leg ? :O

[Sol Fury]

In the manga, Unit 00 was a mix of blue and yellow after it was rebuilt. Perhaps they're using that design (yeah I know it was after this it got that colour scheme but still).
Also, it looks like a night scene. Probably drawn in it's nighttime shading.

[pinoy78]

A very quick teaser was released a few days ago.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=lajKBTO5z-w

[Scantron]

This was posted in the Toyark's RevolTech thread awhile ago, clearly showing the new colour scheme for Unit-00...

http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/2210/5xoaqnorp9.th.jpg (http://img443.imageshack.us/my.php?image=5xoaqnorp9.jpg)

[Spider Striker]

Not sure how I feel about the new Unit 00 colors and that teaser was pointless as I can't read Japanese.

[EvaUnit13]

This is gonna be sweet!

[pinoy78]

New trailer + new footage + new Fly Me To The Moon.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaWj2mCm5TU

[MasterOfPuppets]

I. Can't. Wait.

[EvaUnit13]

Any better video, it looks really blurry

[pinoy78]

Any better video, it looks really blurry

I'll keep an eye out for one.

This definitely deserves a better version.

[333HE]

Looks pretty slick from what I saw! Can't wait to get my hands on 'em!

[zell583]

these are going to be interesting to see, maybe they won't destroy all life on the planet this time.
also since we're on the subject of eva, what are your thoughts on the live evangelion movie thats being made?

[Gigatron_2005]

That video was too blury and shaky... That said, it still looked awesome. Cant wait to see more.

[EvaUnit13]

I don't get the point of them changing the designs. How will the Evas stay in the dark? Just another reason to buy the merchandise, I guess.

[MasterOfPuppets]

I don't get the point of them changing the designs. How will the Evas stay in the dark? Just another reason to buy the merchandise, I guess.
First of all, what do you mean by stay in the dark?

And I guess it gives us something slightly different to watch than just seeing the same Evas from the series. Merchandising is most definitely the main reason though.

[QuantumShock]

Sweet, but I start to wonder will all the original voice actors/actress return ?

[pinoy78]

That video was too blury and shaky... That said, it still looked awesome. Cant wait to see more.

Better version of the trailer is out!

http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=7pfnqsEEEpo

[bushboy]

I just finished the whole series, and now there's more? I may be put into an insane asylum because of this. And are those the same designs up for preorder on BBTS? Sweet

[GogDog]

Wow, the angels look amazing.

[GogDog]

Its a remake.

[bushboy]

Its a remake.
The fourth one won't be.

[pinoy78]

I also upped it on the US youtube site.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSY61jzOHxQ

[GogDog]

The fourth one won't be.

Well, over all the new one is a remake. The remake just happens t have extra story.

[EvaUnit13]

The final movie is a retelling of what happened during Third Impact

[Toonces]

Suprisingly, I thought it looked better at a lower resolution. Something about the way Tokyo-3 emerges looks funny to me.

Regardless, I'm excited.

[Autovolt 127]

The trailier is kIckass,I can't wait to see it,They better Subtitiled this or atleast dub it,It's soo Awesome! :D :P

[QuantumShock]

Ramiel is full of BLING !!!

[Gigatron_2005]

Better version of the trailer is out!

http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=7pfnqsEEEpo

Nice! I eagerly await more of this!

[LoC Soundwave]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG :D

Exited to the max here ^^

[Lord Of Tetris]

I wonder if it'll change the ending as much as the Zeta Gundam movies did.

[pinoy78]

I wonder if it'll change the ending as much as the Zeta Gundam movies did.

I loved the Zeta Gundam movies but the mix of old 80's and cutting edge animation was funky.

Gotta love a happy Camille instead of the wacked out Zeta tv version.

[EvaUnit13]

In the part of the trailer, isn't Eva01 stabbing the air where Shamshel should be? How come its tentacles are still there? I wonder how they'll fit the first 6 episodes in the timeframe

[QuantumShock]

I think it's more like a "bug" on purpose.

[LoC Soundwave]

In the part of the trailer, isn't Eva01 stabbing the air where Shamshel should be? How come its tentacles are still there? I wonder how they'll fit the first 6 episodes in the timeframe

Yeah, I noticed that too. Could it be that it's not animated yet?

Anyways, this is gonna be sweet :D

Sweeter than a cupcake on steroids.

[EvaUnit13]

I think the immobile 01 scene means that they transported Shamshel before reactivating 01

[pinoy78]

Less than a month to go folks.

WE Better get a Eng.Dub!

[EvaUnit13]

WE Better get a Eng.Dub!
It's pretty much confirmed. The Eva merchandising is still selling today

[LoC Soundwave]

WE Better get a Eng.Dub!

Dubs more often tend to kill an anime then make it better.

SUBTITLES FTW!

[pinoy78]

Subs > Dubs

Another new promo......it's simply mind numbing stuff.

I'm probably opening a can of worms here, but it has to be said...

"Fly Me To The Moon" is probably my favorite song ever, and hurt my ears to hear anyone other than Frank Sinatra sing. I couldn't stand those endless remixes on the TV show and on the OSTs. That said...the version in that new trailer is probably my favorite non-Sinatra mix of that song.

Shrug.

[bugmenot]

After Tomino bastardized Zeta Gundam, and the utter mess that was Macross Zero, I'm apprehensive about watching this.

[Wing alpha]

...I liked "bastardiced" zeta as you called it.

Granted Im a sucker for happy endings/somewhat happy.
Macross Zero was meh, but Im there for the mecha not the story-or thats what I convinced myself

and besides if he makes it bad I can ignore it ever existed as simple as that.

[NotoriousBIC]

Only spotted some CG on Ramiel. Although I like the approach of Macross Zero I hope they keep this remake free of any obvious CG. Doesn't suit the designs methinks.

Utter mess?

I think you must've had vasoline on your glasses. For a 2002 production the CGI was pretty good.

Wait. Were you talking about the story?

[QuantumShock]

Tetris : I never like this version who sang by Utada though, I prefer the older version, include priginally sang by Frank Sinatra himself.

[EvaUnit13]

Whoa, Kaworu's gonna be introduced this early?

[Scantron]

Dubs > Subs, FTW

Anyway, the new trailer looks good, although I'm concerned about the amount of compression they'll be doing for this film. It looks like they're going to have to introduce NERV, the Evangelions and most of the principle characters, plus bringing in Kaworu and fighting three Angels. Granted, I don't know how long each of these movies is going to be, but it seems a lot to cram into a single film.

Whoa, Kaworu's gonna be introduced this early?

TBH, I'm glad they're bringing him in earlier in this version. I thought one of the major flaws of the original anime is that they rushed the part with Kaworu; it didn't have the impact it could have if he were introduced earlier and they had sufficient time to develop his relationship with both Shinji and the viewer.

I think we're on the same page. Perhaps a better way to phrase my post was:

"This most recent version of Fly Me To The Moon has been the one that has put me in the least amount of pain."

Oh yes! Also, Im going to have to say dubs > subs here. :p I refuse to watch something with such beautiful animation and have to read at the same time.

That said, when do we get a domestic release of this?

[Caterwaul]

On a related note, the Petit Eva SD parody is officially getting an anime series. :D

[Caterwaul]

WTF is 01 wearing in that series?
His name in this is apparently 'Evanchou' and he's a banchou type. So, just think about what they tend to wear. :)

[Wing alpha]

[pinoy78]

YES this is thread necromancy but a decent RAW has finally made its way around the internets.

[wheeljack01]

Sweet, always been a eva fan....

[pinoy78]

Alright folks!

The DVD rip (IZ-DVD) and fansubs (NF) are OUT!

I just watched the whole movie and it looks BEAUTIFUL.

[Op_Prime]

I've had the priviledge of watching it on the big screen when it was shown in selected theatres in my country for a limited time. I must say I'm mostly impressed by the updated visuals. The first part, for the most part doesn't cover any new ground and is rather noticably compressed, but the final battle is truly a sight to behold, and while it is still pretty close to the original anime version of the battle, there are enough divergences to make it unique.

Judging from the preview for the next movie, the divergences between the new movies and the series will become alot more apparent, with whole new EVA units being introduced as well!

[MasterOfPuppets]

Is there a torrent out that isn't in .mkv format? I want to be able to stream this onto my Xbox and .mkv won't work.

[MasterOfPuppets]

Anyone?

[QuantumShock]

Sorry for an old answer to that, download the CCCP codec.

Anyway OST for the movie is out, hope the news is not old.
