As reported by IGN, Neon Genesis Evangelion is getting a new anime series with some serious talent at the helm: Yoko Taro, the creator of Drakengard, Nier, and the 2017 breakout hit, Nier: Automata. Taro will be in charge of the series' writing and overall composition.

The news was announced as part of "Evangelion:30+", the 30th anniversary celebration of Hideki Anno's influential, mind-bending sci-fi series. An official press release about the series on evangelion.jp is pretty laconic, providing no details as to the show's planned story. In addition to Taro, the series will be directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki and Toru Yatabe, with music by Keiichi Okabe, and production split between Anno's Studio Khara and CloverWorks.

It's a collaboration that immediately excited me as a relative casual who's only seen Evangelion's original series without diving into the various movie spinoffs and retellings. Taro's games are well-loved for their memorable characters, oppressive yet imaginative science fiction, and a heaping helping of angst, sexual tension, and psychological drama. They've always very much felt of a piece with anime like Evangelion.
