A new Evangelion series is coming from Studio Khara and Yoko Taro, creator of NieR
- On Feb. 23 at the 30th anniversary event in Yokohama, Studio Khara and CloverWorks announced a new Neon Genesis Evangelion anime written by Yoko Taro, replacing Hideaki Anno.

- Expectations are that more details will arrive, as Yoko Taro's NieR franchise features sprawling lore and the series appears to be at a conceptual stage, soon to be clarified.
