Perhaps Neon Genesis Evangelion is the reward that retains on giving, or perhaps it is simply one other moneymaking franchise that refuses to go away. In any case, the series is coming again with a new anime, and this time Hideaki Anno will not be writing the script. His substitute, nonetheless, is maybe the one doable selection that will not make franchise followers riot.
Yoko Taro, the person in a creepy masks behind the favored Nier franchise — which could even have a sequel on the way — shall be penning a brand-new Evangelion anime, as announced during the 30th anniversary event held in Yokohama on Feb. 23. Kazuya Tsurumaki, a franchise veteran who directed the Rebuild movies and the wonderful latest Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX anime, will direct the new series. Yoko Taro can even be bringing alongside composer Keiichi Okabe from the Nier franchise.
This is definitely nice information for followers of Evangelion, however no additional particulars have been revealed in the intervening time.

Any Evangelion ending is fairly definitive, regardless of if it is the attractive, low-budget clapping scene from the unique anime, the disturbing strangling on the finish of the primary motion pictures, or the feel-good wrap-up of the Rebirth series. They do not depart room for sequels, which is why the franchise has relied on reboots to maintain going till now.
One factor is for positive: the selection of Yoko Taro is great.
