What is the overexertion he did many times during the production of Shin Godzilla? 3 of 4

Aug 22, 2022

In 2007, he launched the film "Rebuild of Evangelion”. The story took a sudden turn from the second film, "Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance," surprising fans.


Around 2002, I had a chance to watch the whole story again for the first time in a long time and found it very interesting.

It was a time when animation had no momentum, so I started working on Rebuild of Evangelion with the hope that it would be one of the pillars that would support the animation industry, even though it may seem arrogant to say so.

At first, I thought "let's just re-edit it and change the end a little bit".

But my nature wouldn't stop me from trying to make it more interesting as long as I was making it.

After putting his heart and soul into the production of Rebuild of Evangelion, Anno fell ill after the release of the third film, Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo, in 2012, and was forced to take a long break.

He is currently working on his latest film, "Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time".


It was supposed to be completed with the last one, but couldn't.

I think there are two kinds of voices among fans: those who are waiting for a new Eva film, and those who say, "Please make another one."

But in my mind, I think I should do Eva next time without fail.

I was able to refresh my mind after making "Shin Godzilla," and I have recovered a lot after some time has passed.

I feel that there is a light at the end of the long tunnel, and that light is getting bigger and bigger.
