In a recent interview this was done to the author of Neon Genesis Evangelion, Hideaki Ano, he revealed a scoop that surprised all fans of this franchise, 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 statements, as he not only sees the possibility of Evangelion having an expansion of its story, but also considers how this could happen even without his involvement 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 talked 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 undoubtedly the most striking thing of all is how he sees the possibility that some of these new stories will be created 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 contribute 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 feels like a short break from all the work he has 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's one of the most important anime sagas in history, acclaimed not only by fans but also by critics, placing it in prominent positions not only for its iconic series, but also for the films, which have achieved great success, thus making the franchise what it is today.

A few years ago it also debuted Evangelion 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon a Time, the last known film within the series' universe, 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 hoped that new developments based on the franchise will be made in the future so that we can finally know for sure whether one of the most important stories in the anime world will truly continue.
