New Evangelion Anime Confirmed

The upcoming October issue of Japan’s Newtype Magazine contains a confirmation that Gainax has plans to produce a series of four new Neon Genesis Evangelion motion pictures. The four movies will be an alternate re-telling of the television series story. The new films will be designed to be more accessible and more easily comprehensible to average viewers and viewers not familiar with the original TV series. The first new Evangelion film will be released in Japan next summer.
