New Evangelion Anime Celebrates 30th Anniversary with Yoko Taro’s Involvement and Dark Themes

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion, Yoko Taro’s involvement in the upcoming Evangelion series was announced on February 23 at the Evangelion:30 event in Yokohama Arena. According to the official Evangelion website, this new anime is being produced by Studio Khara and CloverWorks, with Taro—best known as the creator of the NieR and Drakengard franchises, and for his signature mask—writing the screenplay. Kazuya Tsurumaki and Toru Yatabe, both former collaborators with Hideaki Anno, are confirmed as directors, while Keiichi Okabe, renowned for composing the NieR soundtracks, will be responsible for the music. The studios have announced that production has begun, though details regarding the plot and release date remain unconfirmed. Taro’s selection as screenwriter is apt, given that he has cited Evangelion as a major inspiration for NieR Automata, and his work consistently explores themes of depression, societal despair, and the potentially destructive nature of technological advancement—all prominent elements within the original anime. Verity Townsend, a Japan-based freelance writer, was among the first to share news of Yoko Taro’s role in the new Neon Genesis Evangelion series. Updates on the project may not surface for some time.
