Since we're talking about Hideaki Anno, Khara and Evangelion we might as well share some of the exclusive info we know about Shin Evangelion: 3.0+1.0
It is not enough to write a whole article about, thus we'll share it as a thread instead.
It's mainly technical stuff, no spoilers
Obviously, if you want to avoid any kind of information about Shin Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 we recommend you do not read the following tweets.
In July we met with talented animator Se Jun Kim who is famous for his work on several Gundam series, Space Dandy and One Punch Man. We met for a drink more on July 19th.
As we met, he told us that he is currently working at Khara on the new Evangelion movie
He had animated some scenes for Shin Evangelion 3.0+1.0 Avant which had been previewed during Japan Expo, and also for the trailer which had been released the same day we met.
Obviously he could not tell us much about it, but we still could gather some information.
First of all the movie will be around two hours long. It would be longer if it was possible, but this is a restriction imposed by the theaters so Anno works on cutting what he can to fit
Also, Se Jun Kim has read the storyboards. All he could say was that: this really feels like the end. There's a real sense of completion. Where will Eva go from there? Anno said he'd like other people to keep doing Eva related stuff, similar to how Gundam does
(this precise statement from Anno is found in the second part of the interview we have translated which we will release soon. You can read the first part at https://fullfrontal.moe/khara-10 )
Se Jun Kim also talked about how it is working on Eva. He said it's tough, but not tougher than anywhere else. Also, Khara pays better than other places. He said that probably had to do with Anno previously being an animator and knowing the struggle it is
He said they always work until the last possible moment. Not because they are late on schedule but because they want to make use of all the time they have available to produce the best possible work they can
This is why the master to Evangelion Avant was given to Megumi Ogata at the airport as she was leaving for Paris. Furthermore the version shown in Paris and the version shown in Japan was different as I could witness myself
Se Jun Kim laughingly said this was probably voluntarily done by Anno to mess with fans
This all I can remember talking about concerning Evangelion. The team is really doing their best so please look forward to it!
