Neon Genesis Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno is enthused about the project. “Evangelion was created with a very Japanese sensibility,” said Anno. “In the live-action version, though, I suggested that the creators let their imaginations roam, unconstrained by the framework of the existing anime. There are some very surprising ideas in the new design plans – things I’d never thought of before. I was amazed to encounter such different ways of thinking about the project. I’m very much looking forward to seeing the re-creation of the title.”
