The Enduring Phenomenon of Evangelion
The *Evangelion* series first captivated audiences and became a social phenomenon with the broadcast of its TV series, *Shin Seiki Evangelion* (Neon Genesis Evangelion), in 1995. This groundbreaking show redefined the mecha genre and left an indelible mark on pop culture. It was then brilliantly rebooted as the *Evangelion Shin Gekijouban* film series, starting in 2007, with *Evangelion Shin Gekijouban: Jo*, *Evangelion Shin Gekijouban: Ha*, and *Evangelion Shin Gekijouban: Q* all achieving massive box office success and drawing new generations of fans. The highly anticipated final installment, *Shin Evangelion Gekijouban*, released in 2021, broke new ground by surpassing 10 billion yen in box office revenue—a monumental first for the series—generating immense buzz and discussion worldwide.
Celebrating 30 Years of Evangelion
As 2025 marks a significant milestone, the *Evangelion* series is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a dedicated special website, inviting fans to join in the festivities. To commemorate this momentous occasion, a variety of exciting initiatives have been announced. These include the grand culmination event for the 30th anniversary year, “EVANGELION 30+; 30th ANIVERSARY OF EVANGELION,” set to be held at Yokohama Arena in February 2026. Fans can also look forward to the “EVANGELION 30th Anniversary Movie Collection” Blu-ray BOX, which features the first-ever video releases and Blu-ray adaptations of certain content, alongside the “ALL OF EVANGELION” 30th Anniversary Exhibition. It’s truly a thrilling time to be an *Evangelion* fan, with so much to look forward to!
