Rebuild of Evangelion (ヱヴァンゲリヲン新劇場版, Evangerion Shin Gekijōban, lit. "Evangelion New Theatrical Version") is a series of animated films which are a remake/re-imagining of the original anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion. It is being produced by Studio Khara in partnership with Gainax. Hideaki Anno wrote the first movie and will be the general director and manager for the entire project. Kazuya Tsurumaki and Masayuki will direct the films, while Yoshiyuki Sadamoto will provide character designs and Ikuto Yamashita will provide mechanical designs. Shinji Higuchi and Tomoki Kyoda will provide storyboards for the first film.

In September 2006, the October edition of the Japanese anime magazine Newtype first reported that the new cinema series Rebuild of Evangelion would be released in the summer of 2007.[1] On September 9, 2006, Gainax's official website confirmed that Rebuild of Evangelion will consist of four films. The first three films will be an alternate retelling of the anime TV series, featuring new scenes, settings, backgrounds, characters, and newly available 3D CG technology, and the fourth film will present a completely new conclusion to the story. Another stated intention of this series is for it to be much more understandable and accessible to non-fans than the original TV series and films were.[2]

The concept of "序,破,急(jo-ha-kyū)", which roughly corresponds to "beginning", "middle", and "end", originated in classical gagaku music and is best known to describe the acts of a play. In lieu of the traditional classification, the production team has chosen to represent 急(kyū, lit. bursting) the roman letter Q, for "quickening."

The film titles, in contrast to the normal katakana spelling of Evangerion (エヴァンゲリオン), replace the e () and o () characters with the obsolete we () character and the infrequently used katakana wo (), respectively. The change is purely a stylistic one, as there is no change in pronunciation and all appearances of the Latin spelling of "Evangelion" remain the same.

As was done with episode titles in the original series, each film has an original Japanese title and a separate international title in English picked out by Khara itself.

Merchandising

At Toy Fair 2007, it was announced that "petit-eva (ぷちえゔぁ, puchi eva)" called Petit Eva: Evangelion@School would be produced for Rebuild of Evangelion, though they would feature a very different "super-deformed" design. [3] A later announcement was made of these figures also being adapted into a series of video shorts, based around Evangelion characters as students and teachers at Tokyo-3 NERV School. [4]

The new line of Revoltech action figures features the redesigned Evangelion units from Rebuild, and even a special accessory pack featuring the Rebuild versions of the ESV Shield and Positron gun.
