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 animé. 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.”
