A Groundbreaking Event for *Evangelion* Fans!
The highly anticipated “Tsukiichi Eva EVANGELION 30th MOVIE Fest.2025-2026”, a limited-time revival screening event for six theatrical *Evangelion* films, is set to kick off its next installment on November 14, 2025, with *Evangelion Shin Gekijouban: Jo*, the first film in the *Evangelion Shin Gekijouban* series. What makes this screening particularly exciting is the announcement that for the first time in the *Evangelion* series’ history, special vocal-allowed screenings will be held at three locations across Japan! This is a truly unique opportunity for fans to experience the world of *Evangelion* in a brand new, interactive way.
The Enduring Legacy of *Evangelion*
The *Evangelion* series first took the world by storm with the broadcast of its TV series, *Shin Seiki Evangelion*, in 1995, becoming a true social phenomenon. It then relaunched as the *Evangelion Shin Gekijouban* series in 2007, releasing three blockbuster films: *Evangelion Shin Gekijouban: Jo*, *Evangelion Shin Gekijouban: Ha*, and *Evangelion Shin Gekijouban: Kyuu*. The saga concluded with the highly anticipated *Shin Evangelion Gekijouban* in 2021, which garnered immense attention by becoming the first film in the series to surpass 10 billion yen at the box office. Its profound themes, unforgettable characters, and stunning animation have cemented its place in anime history.
Celebrating 30 Years with *Tsukiichi Eva*
This special event, officially known as “Tsukiichi Eva EVANGELION 30th MOVIE Fest.2025-2026” (affectionately abbreviated as “Tsukiichi Eva”), is being held to commemorate the series’ monumental 30th anniversary in 2025. From October 2025 to February 2026, six theatrical *Evangelion* films will be screened for one week each month (with two films featured in October), offering fans a nostalgic journey through the iconic franchise.
The first film of the festival, *Shin Seiki Evangelion Gekijouban: Shi to Shinsei* (screened as the successor version, *DEATH (TRUE)2&REBIRTH*), which opened on October 10, achieved remarkable success with over 120,000 attendees and box office revenue exceeding 200 million yen. Following this impressive start, the second film, *Shin Seiki Evangelion Gekijouban Air/Magokoro wo, Kimi ni*, began its run on October 24. Despite being a film originally released 28 years ago, it managed to secure the 5th spot in the weekend audience attendance rankings. Reports on social media indicate a significant presence of younger viewers who may not have had the chance to see the original theatrical releases, demonstrating the series’ enduring appeal across generations. It’s clear that even after three decades, *Evangelion* continues to capture the hearts of a diverse audience.
Experience *Evangelion Shin Gekijouban: Jo* Like Never Before!
As the third installment of this grand festival, screenings for *Evangelion Shin Gekijouban: Jo*, the inaugural film of the *Evangelion Shin Gekijouban* series, will commence on November 14. For the very first time in the entire *Evangelion* series’ illustrious history, fans will have the extraordinary opportunity to participate in vocal-allowed screenings! This special event promises an exciting and immersive way to re-engage with this beloved film.
These unique screenings are designed to be an interactive experience, where cheering, shouting, vocal support, and applause are not only permitted but encouraged! Fans can even bring and use glow sticks, adding to the vibrant atmosphere. The vocal-allowed screenings are scheduled for November 15 at Shinjuku Balt9 in Tokyo and T・Joy Umeda in Osaka, followed by a screening on November 16 at T・Joy Hakata in Fukuoka.
