Re-Take is a fan-made manga series, not an official one.

I'm very much aware. My point remains that a hypothetical animated adaptation would still be neat, even though I'm still very much aware it could never happen.

True, true. I don’t know how Anno’s policy towards fan creations of Eva are, but I guess as long as a hypothetical fan-made anime adaptation isn’t made for profit and is strictly a volunteer thing, then maybe it would be possible. Very Happy

How about remake Kare Kano instead?


Hearing about how the manga goes after the anime, you don't want that.

I don't find this that surprising, since Anno has talked about opening up Evangelion to other creators for a few years now. Now that he finished his movies, it makes sense it may finally happen.

And it sort of already has, since there is already the Evangelion stage play which has an original story.

He compared it to Gundam being opened up, which is why I'd expect stuff along those lines than trying to directly retread Shinji and Asuka or whatever.

Most of all, I just really don't want them to do to Eva's legacy what's been done to Madoka's. If there's something artistically worthwhile to be contributed, then contribute it. If they just want to crank out some soulless sludge with the Eva name on it for a blatant cash grab, then of course that's not okay.

...More Eva sounds like a new cycle of Asuka suffering and I can go my whole life without seeing that again in some new barely creative way.


Asuka's general behavior annoyed me so much that I was rooting for Arael in their encounter.

I do! The Arima arc is really dark and yet cool at the same time, and it helps solidify their relationship. Its awesome storytelling.

Adaptation of the manga, please. It’s very different from the anime, and fleshes out the characters further.


That would be cool. Among all versions, I like the manga one the best.

The manga is my favorite version of the Eva story as well, but I would have mixed feelings about an anime adaptation.

I think it would be more fun if one of the alternate universe manga/LNs got an anime instead. Alternately, a series of shorts based on Tony Takezaki's Neon Genesis Evangelion would be my top pick.

Cosigned. As much as I loved the Karekano anime and would like to see Anno take on another shoujo adaptation... yeah, I don't want more Karekano.

Consider the plug suit designs are the way they are because Anno wanted something he thought no one would be crazy enough to cosplay, or so the story goes.

I guess you're the type that enjoys your rapey romance.

Would prefer to just be done with it, especially if Anno isn't the one in charge. Maybe I'd feel differently if the last movie didn't take so long. Who knows.
