Thanks to various life difficulties, I\u2019ve spent this month in a state of immense spiritual turbulence, oscillating between euphoria and despair. As such, I\u2019m in either the worst or the perfect frame of mind to digest news that Yoko Taro, director and scenario writer for NieR: Automata, is writing a new series of Neon Genesis Evangelion.<\/p>\n
As reported by Crunchyroll, the show in question has just been announced at Evangelion\u2019s 30th anniversary festivities. It\u2019s a collaboration between Studio Khara and CloverWorks. Kazuya Tsurumaki, director of the Rebuild films and Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, is leading the project alongside Toko Yatabe, assistant director on Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time. Taro isn\u2019t the only Nier alumnus involved – NieR composer Keiichi Okabe is providing the music. <\/p>\n
Truly, the Nier Automata guy doing an Evangelion show is a match made in\u2026 some kind of metaphysical realm. Do I really have to draw my breath in pain to explain why? I\u2019ve just referenced Hamlet in that last sentence, which should give you a hint as to the psychic pressures involved. If you know, you know. If you don\u2019t, please google it and skim past the Absolute Terror AI summary to read one of the thousands of wondering, tortured things written about either Nier or Evangelion.<\/p>\n
Apart from anything else, I haven\u2019t caught up on all the Evangelion released after the original 90s TV show. I\u2019ve only gotten as far as the nightmare fuel that is Asuka vs the Mass Production Evas in The End of Evangelion. People who\u2019ve watched the latest stuff: is it\u2026 more cheerful these days?<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve come to this videogame website to read about videogames, not anime shows, rest assured that Taro is still pitching \u2018em \u2013 they just keep getting cancelled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
