| Is there really nothing that can be done to make Anno accept that he already made a great Evangelion anime (complete with a great open-ended conclusion) 30 years ago Then again this could be about new characters. We'll see, but we (I) won't necessarily watch it |

So I wonder which I like the most🤔 |

| More evidence that Evangelion has become a zombie franchise that will keep getting milked decades past the point it should have ended, "bye bye all of Evangelion" my ass |

| 5 years ago: Goodbye, Evangelion. :( 5 years later: Welcome back, Evangelion! Like, it's coming back? Well, okay then. It does make a lot of money and has tons of fans after all. And here I thought that the fourth Rebuild movie was the absolute end of this franchise. But it'll have no involvement from Hideaki Anno, so it'll arguably be non-canon. Neon Genesis Evangelion was one of my first anime when I started to get into the medium, and I watched the first episode back in December 2011, so it's interesting for me to see that over 14 years later, that they still have plans to make more Evangelion anime instead of letting the franchise end and moving on from it. And it only remained inactive for 5 years. Even Dragon Ball was inactive longer than Evangelion, when it came back in 2009 with Dragon Ball Kai, 12 years after Dragon Ball GT ended. Yeah, it looks like Evangelion isn't ending just yet. |

| I love Eva, the OG has aged so well and still holds up without needing of a remake but unfortunately nothing is safe from corpo greed as they continue to milk this franchise. Maybe we'd get lucky and get something good once in a blue moon like how star wars got Andor but keeping my expectations low. |

Calling a group of creators such as Yoko Taro, Kazuya Tsurumaki and Keiichi Okabe with a word "milking" is an act of shameful disregard to their professionalism and experience. They are no amateurs to ruin golden goose franchise such as Evangelion. They are obviously would cook something interesting to make us happy so we want to buy even more figurines and dakimakuras of Kaoru. |

| @KnightmareNEKO Yoko Taro is a talentless hack, Nier Automata is pure pseudo intellectual nonsense that only sounds deep to normies who haven't read basic phycology books, so it's no surprise a washed greedy fuck like Anno would give him work, he's also platforming Tsurumaki who hasn't had a single good idea in 25 years |

| The one thing that stops me from calling this a shitty shameless cash grab is that Yoko Taro is writing it. It's still absolutely a cash grab, but if Yoko Taro is writing it, I assume a writer of his caliber has something a bit more interesting planned than just a worthless retread of old ideas. |

| @Edsand11 You must be new to this. This isn't he first time Eva the IP is being milked, and I'm sure it won't be the last because the series is an infinite money glitch, still unpatched after more than 30 years of exploitation, with franchise tie-ins ranging from food and toys to bullet train designs and shaving razors. And yes, after the author himself had said goodbye to it twice, you'd have to run in gullibility Olympics to think this isn't milking. Of course it is. Nothing about it needs expanding in the first place, this isn't The Lord of the Rings with tomes upon tomes of background lore waiting to be expanded upon. Eva the story was written with a specific vision in mind and had a very specific message to send. Not everyone cared to notice (to Anno's endless frustration at the time) but many of us did. This message is what Evangelion's narrative legacy is ultimately about, and even if Anno has changed his mind about what he he feels or wants to say since, that message itself didn't change and remains relevant and true. AUs do nothing to contribute to this kind of author's voice at best, and they directly contradict it at worst (Rebuild movies are itself an example, but I'll remind everyone once again that 18 volumes of this garbage exists among other things), fetishizing surface layers of the narrative at the expense of its emotional core. It's no different to writing fan fiction in principle, but people tend to treat it more seriously when it's official. Understandably. And contrary to the popular opinion, you can make a series worse by continuously adding fluff to it until the content that had strong original thought behind it is completely lost in the woods. Gundam is the easiest example to make—a once-dominant cultural pillar that was squozen out of relevance by endless corporate greed—but realistically it only requires writing a new canon that contradicts the old one and takes hold so the newcomers consider it the face and the gateway to the IP like that commenter above who felt ready to drop the old series. Or you can make just one ill-conceived sequel like FLCL Progressive (and the rest of that vile junk) to ruin the entire series for many people because now all of this is officially part of the canon and a newcomer to the series wouldn't know to pretend everything after the original OVA doesn't exist. They will base their opinion on all of it, or in some cases like Gundam's, it's highly likely that the opinion will be formed on some of the least relevant parts. In fact, I'm surprised the series' legacy has managed to hold on so well against the endless attempts to "expand" it with AUs and retellings. My only hope is that this one ends up such an obvious money grab that it'll similarly fall out of public discourse within a year and become another sidenote in the long list of forgotten Eva side-content. |

| @SomeNewGuy they are going gundam franchise route Like Gundam, where many creators can play around with the elements and create their own worlds, it is Anno's hope that Evangelion can also be set free, to be reconstructed and reinterpreted in many ways by many other artists. https://www.evamonkey.com/writings/rivera-renato-evangelion-creator-talks-future-franchise.php ”Eva" is a story that repeats. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2007-02-20/hideaki-anno-releases-statement-about-new-evangelion-movies |

| @deg He had told years ago that it would be a brand / universe that new talents could create within, some sort of launchpad for new people. Seeing old names and a screenwriter who admitted being a fan who "pumped" the show for his own story attached to this new project make it look like the plan for EVA to become a career launcher is already dead. It's been almost twenty years since the studio'sbirth. Making (easy) money through their main brand is a good thing for khara, but what's the point if it's used to keep churning derivative products out (gundam 79 fangasm spin off, an adaptation of Sugar Sugar RUne, EVA now) ? My hopes for them to create new original projects once they were done with the Shin movies are now entirely dead... |

| No plans to watch or look much further into it, personally. I've watched the original TV series and the original film (The End of Evangelion), back fairly early on into my anime watching, back in 2019 when I began watching "new" (often old) series back to back. Something I've continued to this day, except for being on the seasonal train exclusively in 2024 and 2025. Never watched the rebuild films and all that. Generally if I'm satisfied enough with an anime series, I don't desire to see unnecessary prequels, remakes, reboots, sequels, etc. I'll make an exception and watch the sequels for series which I absolutely love, even if I find their creation completely "unnecessary" (to the extent that any art's creation is "necessary" in the first place) and likely to be a poor and vastly inferior product compared to the original. But Neon Genesis Evangelion isn't one of those series as it's one of the more popular and famous series I've watched, but one of the ones I've also found the most overrated - something I gave a 6/10 and never saw fit to revisit to revise that score. I have a number of complaints directed toward and dislikes about it, but I liked it and/or was curious well enough to finish it, but not to rewatch or desire or intend to watch any sequels, remakes, or any other future additional content deriving from it. |

| @MZXJ who said somebody forced me to do anything? I was simply remarking that I've never had the intention of watching any of the remakes since the very day they were announced in 2007, and I still have no intention of watching them. Like I have no intention of watching this. And the stuff I bought with the Khara logo approval on it (which means that it is money that went directly to the corporate busine$$man and ex-otaku of my ass Hideaki Anno) supports my stance. Hell, even the Kamen Rider from his shitty Kamen Rider movie because of Kamen Rider Zeztz being inspired by the 1971 Kamen Rider that I own tells me to not bother in the slightest with either the remakes or this new ca$hgrab, and that is money that went to him the same. All that the current, laughable corporate-tailored and corporate-approved, zombified version of the guy deserves is infinite Kamen Rider kicks up his own ass and a Shuwatch planted between his eyes, nothing else. |
