Gainax is out to destroy our lives again and leave us in a deep state of insanity. Not that Evangelion hasn’t done enough damage by raising a legion of otakus chanting Rei Ayanami’s name like an anthem. Having studied the otaku culture well (remember Otaku no Video?), they got to squeeze out a lot from their best effort yet.
From next year to 2008, there will be four new films coming out for Eva. It’s called “Rebuild of Evangelion.” Where does this go and how it will come about? Well, according to sources, the films will tell the story once more of Evangelion but not in the same breath and depth of the previously released Eva films. Hence, the fans won’t be troubled again by the same things that have troubled us before. For this set of films, a new story is going to be given to fans. I honestly don’t know how else they could expand the world of Evangelion, but I have firm faith in Hideaki Anno and Gainax to come up with something brilliant. How funny that it’s only now that Anno actually found his work “Interesting.” I think it does take 10 years to detach yourself to a project and really see the beauty in it. Ahhhh~~ I can’t believe it’s been ten years. It just feels like it was yesterday that I cried.
