The Evangelion series, created by Hideaki Anno, enjoys unwavering popularity worldwide. Since 2007, the series has been relaunched as the "Rebuild of Evangelion" film series, with the first film, "Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone," released that same year, followed by "Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance" in 2009, and "Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo" in 2012, all achieving massive success. With the final installment, "Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time," set to be released next year in 2020, the series is generating even more excitement.
We are pleased to announce that, in response to numerous requests, the "Complete Records Collection" series, a hardcover official book series meticulously documenting the production process of the film, originally published by Studio Khara, led by Hideaki Anno, will be released in more affordable softcover format!
The first volume, "Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone Complete Records Collection Visual Story Edition & Setting Materials Edition," will be released in early June!
The cover illustration is a new drawing by Shunji Suzuki, the animation director of "Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone"! A B4 poster of the same Khara illustration is included!
This hardcover edition, now difficult to obtain, has been re-edited to be easily accessible even for first-time readers.
In addition to a visual story reconstructed with all cuts and dialogue, it also includes setting materials for mechs, characters, and even small details, as well as art boards, emphasizing its value as a documentary that deciphers the production process leading up to completion. You can gain insight into a part of the meticulous production process of a work that opened up new possibilities in animation.
In preparation for the theatrical release of the final installment of the "Rebuild of Evangelion" series, please enjoy this book packed with information that allows you to relive the emotion of ":Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone."
