And some news from Animenewsnetwork.com
First movie played to standing-room-only audiences all day in Tokyo theaters

The first of the four Evangelion movie remakes, Evangelion: 1.0 You Are [Not] Alone, opened Saturday, and it featured a “next episode preview” for the 2008 sequel with more redesigned EVA units and a previously unanimated female character. Specifically, the first EVA units will have a new backpack attachment for an aerial drop sequence (analogous to the scene in episode 9 of the series), the EVA-04 unit is hinted to appear for the first time in animation, a new mono-eyed EVA-05 design will appear, and the EVA-06 will feature a completely new design as well. The new character is an eyeglasses-wearing, brunette girl. The preview’s narrator, Kotono Mitsuishi as the character Misato Katsuragi, promised more fan “service-service” in the second movie. (Evangelion: 1.0 had partial nudity.)

The Evangelion: 1.0 movie played to standing-room-only audiences in Tokyo-area theaters from morning to evening. The movie’s pamphlet included a notice that Studio Khara (director Hideaki Anno’s new company whose first work is this movie) is “accepting applications for staffers” to work on the second movie. A full review of Evangelion: 1.0 will be posted.
