The new Evangelion anime has one massive hurdle to overcome

The biggest news in the world of anime is currently the announcement of a new Neon Genesis Evangelion series, with Nier franchise creator Yoko Taro taking the writing reins from Hideaki Anno. Fans are understandably excited, confused, and a little worried about this new entry in the legendary saga. How will the new series fit into the multiple timelines of the franchise? Will it connect to the Rebuild movies or to the original? Or will it be a brand-new retelling of Anno’s brainchild? None of this truly matters. The biggest obstacle for the new Evangelion anime is that it will never get an opening song that’s as good and iconic as the original.
