Rebuild of Evangelion trailer available
Posted by Madeline
Rebuild of Evangelion is one of four films slated for release beginning this September by GAINAX, the studio behind the seminal and profitable series Neon Genesis Evangelion A viewer in Japan recorded the trailer while sitting in a movie theatre, then uploaded it to YouTube. The footage is grainy and the sound quality is poor, but savvy viewers will note the presence of more digital animation.
No word yet on North American distribution, leaving North American viewers to wonder if the films will be released consecutively, simultaneously, or simply in one large, expensive boxed set. Will there be VOD legal downloads when distribution is decided? What about theatre showings, as there were for the Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Naruto franchises?
