Neon Genesis Evangelion It is undoubtedly one of the most iconic anime in history, and it left a mark that remains to this day, and with the recent films released even more people were inculcated in its plot, which ended, but apparently would not be definitive. And a few days ago, in an interview with the author of the work, Hideaki AnoThis left the door open for a sequel anime to be produced in the future, so apparently there will still be Evangelion for a while.

In a recent interview this was done to the author of Neon Genesis Evangelion, Hideaki Ano, he released a scoop that surprised all fans of this franchise, by leaving the door open for a future sequel to his most important work to be released in the future. But this was even more surprising because of one of his lines, since he not only sees the possibility of Evangelion having an expansion of its story, but also thinks how this could happen even without him being involved in the process.

In the interview, Yeargave several phrases, which excited, but also disconcerted all the fans of his works, the main one being the one that spoke about how he sees that it is very possible that a new chapter, be it a spin-off or the expansion of Evangelion takes place in the future. But without a doubt the most striking thing of all is how he sees the possibility that some of these new stories will be made by someone else and not exclusively by himself, as he believes that his work is not only limited by his mind, but he sees it as very “free”, that anyone can add their grain of sand.

Another reason why if a new story were to be made based on his work it would not be directed by him is the fact that he is working on a project focused on the anniversary of “Yamato space warship”, which for him is like a small break from so much work done in recent years. That said, fans were excited by the news of a possible sequel, although they would have preferred the film itself Year have some kind of participation, if not as a director, at least give approval in many of the decisions.

Evangelion It is one of the most important anime sagas in history, acclaimed not only by fans but also by critics, which places it not only in prominent positions for its iconic series, but the films have also managed to achieve great success, thus making the franchise what it is today. In addition, Evangelion is known worldwide for its opening “Cruel Angels' Thesis”, performed by Yōko Takahashi and which in most lists of the best songs of all time is usually placed at the top.

A few years ago it also debuted Evangelion 3.0+1.0: Three Times Once, the last known film within the series' universe and which would culminate its story after many years between the various films released, becoming a success within the community and leaving many fans very happy. Now, with these statements from the author, it is expected that in the future new news based on the franchise will be made so that we end up knowing for sure if one of the most important stories in the world of anime will really continue.
