Hideaki Anno
Anno working with other key members of the Evangelion and FLCL staff on a brand-new Gundam series full of teenage girl angst and robot team battles.
After a three-year absence from animation, Hideaki Anno is coming back to help a new project for one of Japan’s most beloved science fiction series.
Creator Hideaki Anno thanks “every Eva fan in the world,” asks them to watch it on a big TV.
When you want to make anime the old-fashioned way, there’s no better place to go for help than Hayao Miyazaki’s studio.
After helping to animate the Hayao Miyazaki classic, veteran Studio Ghibli producer says Anno wants to make it without animation.
Hideaki Anno, who created some of anime’s most depressed characters of all time, encourages humanity to show its indomitable spirit.
Photo of creator Hideaki Anno’s personal script is a sign that the long-awaited film is finally moving towards completion.
Would chance to direct boyhood favorite franchise convince Hideaki Anno to push back the release of his seven-years-in-the-making Evangelion finale?
