As die-hard franchise fans already know, Hideaki Anno’s Neon Genesis Evangelion is making a comeback with a new anime from Yoko Taro, the creator of Nier and Nier: Automata. This announcement was made during Evangelion’s 30th anniversary event, where enthused attendees were also treated to an exclusive short film about Evangelion Unit-02 pilot, Asuka Langley Soryu. At the time, there was little hope that the Asuka short would be made available to the public, especially with Studio Khara cracking down on bootleg copies circulating online. That said, there’s reason to rejoice for those who missed out on the event exclusive, as it is currently available to watch on Studio Khara’s official YouTube channel.
