On the official YouTube channel of Khara Inc., the first announcement video regarding the production of a completely new 'Evangelion' series has been released, sparking major discussion.
The video features the message "Eternal summer vacation. This is our paradise. This is our graveyard. What can be heard is the song of tribulation," and depicts a circular ruin with a submerged grand piano keyboard covered in moss and vines, classroom chairs, and scattered instruments like cellos. Amid the beautiful yet decadent atmosphere, the production team for the completely new series was announced within the video. Directors Kazuya Tsurumaki and Toko Yatabe will helm the project, music will be composed by Keiichi Okabe, and production will be a collaboration between Studio Khara and CloverWorks. Additionally, it was revealed that Yoko Taro will participate as series composer and scriptwriter. The video concludes with something resembling Evangelion and the message "May those souls rest in peace."
