Yoko Taro’s new Evangelion anime faces an impossible challenge after 3.0+1.0

As it turns out, however, a new Evangelion anime is currently in the works from Yoko Taro, the creator of Nier and Nier: Automata. This announcement came during Evangelion’s 30th anniversary event, during which fans were also able to see an exclusive short film revolving around the character Asuka Langley Soryu. Studio Khara and CloverWorks are involved in the production of the new series, alongside Rebuild of Evangelion director Kazuya Tsurumaki, who also helmed the 12-episode Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX. Taro’s lifelong fascination with Evangelion is no secret, as the eccentric video game director has describedNier as a “retelling” of Anno’s enduring work. “Everything I make is influenced by Evangelion,” Taro told Square Enix last year, further cementing his love for gut-wrenching storylines that lean towards abject existentialism.
