“Evangelion”: What to See at the Nagisa Kaworu Exhibition!? Featuring a Newly Recorded Message by Ishida Akira, Script Display, and More — A Must-See for Fans!

The very first exhibition focusing on Nagisa Kaworu, a beloved character from the “Evangelion” series, titled “Saigo no Shisha Nagisa Kaworu-ten” (which can be translated as “The Last Messenger Nagisa Kaworu Exhibition”), has been officially announced! This exciting event is set to kick off on September 12th at the 8th floor of Animate Ikebukuro Honten, with plans for subsequent events in Osaka and Kyoto, ensuring more fans get a chance to experience it.

The Enduring Legacy of Evangelion

The “Shin Seiki Evangelion” TV anime series first captivated audiences in 1995, forever changing the landscape of anime. The saga then saw a grand rebirth with the “Evangelion Shin Gekijouban” film series, which began in 2007, culminating in the release of its definitive conclusion, “Shin Evangelion Gekijouban,” in March 2021. This rich and complex history sets the stage for a deeper dive into one of its most enigmatic and cherished figures.

The “Saigo no Shisha Nagisa Kaworu-ten” aims to truly capture and convey Kaworu’s unique charm through a carefully curated selection of original artwork and iconic scene stills from across the series’ history.
