However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.evangelion.jp\/news\/260223-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Studio Khara<\/a> confirmed that a new era for the EVA unit and its pilots will soon begin through the television series format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Information regarding the continuation of the series was finally officially revealed to the public on February 23, 2026. The announcement was made on the last day of the \u201cEVANGELION:30+\uff1b 30th ANNIVERSARY OF EVANGELION\u201d event held at the Yokohama Arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project was billed as the \u201cNext Genesis\u201d for the franchise and brought together big names who had not previously been directly involved in the main production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_84 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Serious Mode<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseprofile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/playeatsleep.fun\/en\/new-evangelion-anime-yoko-taro\/#Yoko_Taro_Menjadi_Penulis_Naskah_Seri_Evangelion_Terbaru\" >Yoko Taro Scripts the New Evangelion Series<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/playeatsleep.fun\/en\/new-evangelion-anime-yoko-taro\/#Kolaborasi_Studio_Khara_dan_CloverWorks\" >Studio Khara and CloverWorks Collaboration<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/playeatsleep.fun\/en\/new-evangelion-anime-yoko-taro\/#Keiichi_Okabe_Kembali_Berkolaborasi_di_Sektor_Musik\" >Keiichi Okabe Collaborates Again in the Music Sector<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/playeatsleep.fun\/en\/new-evangelion-anime-yoko-taro\/#Teaser_Perdana_dan_Status_Produksi\" >First Teaser and Production Status<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Yoko_Taro_Menjadi_Penulis_Naskah_Seri_Evangelion_Terbaru\"><\/span>Yoko Taro Scripts the New Evangelion Series<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest surprise of this announcement is the involvement of Yoko Taro in the core staff. The renowned game creator has been officially appointed to handle Script and Series Composition. Yoko Taro is widely known among gamers for his work on the series <em>NieR<\/em> (<em>NieR: Automata<\/em>, <em>Replicant<\/em>) and <em>Drakengard<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This will be Yoko Taro's first time working directly for the mecha franchise. Previously, she was involved in the production of the anime <em>NieR: Automata Ver1.1a<\/em> and <em>KamiErabi GOD.app<\/em>. The collaboration between Hideaki Anno's original material and Yoko Taro's signature writing style is certainly something the community is looking forward to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kolaborasi_Studio_Khara_dan_CloverWorks\"><\/span>Studio Khara and CloverWorks Collaboration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the scriptwriters, the lineup of studios handling the animation has also undergone significant changes. The project will be produced through a collaboration between Studio Khara and CloverWorks.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"331\" src=\"https:\/\/playeatsleep.fun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-24-125010.webp\" alt=\"Evangelion\" class=\"wp-image-17006\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Studio Khara is Hideaki Anno's studio that holds the intellectual copyright of the series, while CloverWorks is the studio behind popular titles such as <em>Spy x Family<\/em>, <em>Bocchi the Rock!<\/em>, and <em>My Dress-Up Darling<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Director's chair, Kazuya Tsurumaki is once again trusted to lead the project. Tsurumaki is a veteran who knows the franchise well, having previously directed <em>FLCL<\/em>, <em>Diebuster<\/em>, and served as Co-Director for the tetralogy of films <em>Rebuild of Evangelion<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tsurumaki will not be working alone in directing this series. He will be accompanied by Toko Yatabe as a fellow Director. Toko Yatabe has a solid track record as an Assistant Director in the movie <em>Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon A Time<\/em>. He has also handled Storyboard and Episode Direction for the anime <em>Chainsaw Man<\/em> and Character Design for <em>The Birth of Kitaro: The Mystery of GeGeGe<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keiichi_Okabe_Kembali_Berkolaborasi_di_Sektor_Musik\"><\/span>Keiichi Okabe Collaborates Again in the Music Sector<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The atmosphere of Yoko Taro's story would not be complete without the right musical accompaniment. As such, Keiichi Okabe has also been announced as joining the core staff as Composer. The working relationship between Yoko Taro and Keiichi Okabe goes back decades, most notably through their iconic works in the series <em>NieR<\/em> and <em>Drakengard<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides games, Okabe also has experience handling music for anime such as <em>Summer Time Rendering<\/em> and <em>Yuki Yuna Is a Hero<\/em>. The reunion between Taro and Okabe in the Evangelion universe is predicted to result in a soundtrack that is different from the classic Shiro Sagisu feel that has been attached to the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Teaser_Perdana_dan_Status_Produksi\"><\/span>First Teaser and Production Status<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the announcement is official, the studio has yet to give an exact release date for the show. However, fans won't have to wait too long to see the first visuals. A video teaser of the new series has been broadcast on Japanese TV channel TBS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The airing of this teaser was done in conjunction with the premiere of the movie <em>Evangelion: 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon A Time<\/em> on Japanese terrestrial television.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can check out the teaser trailer below to get an early idea of the visuals on offer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u30a8\u30f4\u30a1\u30f3\u30b2\u30ea\u30aa\u30f3\u5b8c\u5168\u65b0\u4f5c\u30b7\u30ea\u30fc\u30ba\u5236\u4f5c\u59cb\u52d5 \u521d\u5831\u6620\u50cf 2026\u5e742\u670823\u65e5\u767a\u8868\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tC_DJWqHXD4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the anime teaser, the anniversary event that took place in Yokohama also showcased many interesting things related to the 30-year journey of the franchise.

With the TV series format, the story presented is likely to be more complex and in-depth. You can look forward to further updates on this series in the future.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Franchise legendaris Evangelion kembali mengejutkan industri anime global dengan pengumuman proyek terbarunya.
