Scoring another record with a local title in Japan, Imax has had its best opening day ever for a film there with Shin Evangelion. Overall, the movie, which is the fourth and final installment in the Rebuild of Evangelion series, grossed nearly 828 million yen ($7.6 million). Of that, the Imax portion was $740,000.
The sci-fi animated movie also scored Imax’s highest ever opening day indexing for a local-language title in Japan, good for 10% of overall box office from only 1%-2% of total screens.
Also going by the title Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time, the Toho Pictures release had been delayed by Covid and ultimately went out on an atypical Monday. Despite that, and along with a pandemic-related 8 p.m. curfew in key areas (including Tokyo), Imax recorded sellouts throughout the day, including at 6 a.m. showings.

During their Anime Lineup Presentation event at the Akiba Theatre in Tokyo today, Netflix unveiled their slate of Anime programming for 2019.
The new lineup is an expansion of their successful original Anime programming which includes Devilman Crybaby and B: the Beginning. Netflix announced that they would be revisiting some of the most beloved stories that many Anime fans already know and love, including Ultraman, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac.
The news comes after Netflix made their first-ever Asia showcase earlier this month where they announced the addition of Pacific Rim, Altered Carbon, Cagaster of an Insect Cage, Yasuke, and Trese to their anime slate. The slate continues Netflix’s global reach when it comes to original content, telling stories from Japan, Taiwan, Thailand and South Korea.

Looking back on this still-young century makes clear that 2007 was a major time for cinematic happenings — and, on the basis of this retrospective, one we’re not quite through with ten years on. One’s mind might quickly flash to a few big titles that will be represented, but it is the plurality of both festival and theatrical premieres that truly surprises: late works from old masters, debuts from filmmakers who’ve since become some of our most-respected artists, and mid-career turning points that didn’t necessarily announce themselves as such at the time. Join us as an assembled team, many of whom were coming of age that year, takes on their favorites.
In the world of Japanese pop auteurs, there are few rising stars as unpredictably eclectic, temperamental, and consistently fascinating as Hideaki Anno. Anno began his professional life in the early 1980s as a young animator working literally...

Sailor Moon is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a new series called Sailor Moon Crystal. The series is getting a 26 episode run. Last month we reported that starting July 5th the show will be streamed the first and third Saturdays worldwide on Nico Nico Douga. No footage has emerged just yet, but we do have details on the voice cast and some cool art that shows off the character designs.

The Japan Racing Association (Jra) began streaming two new horse-racing commercials featuring an Evangelion horse hybrid. Kotono Mitsuishi, the voice of the Evangelion anime’s Misato, narrates these commercials as she did for the first ones and the Evangelion 3.0: You Can (Not) Redo next-episode previews that inspired these ads. Check them out after the jump.
The first ad, “A Horse’s Battle, A Man’s Battle,” shows the “Eva-Impact” racing with real-life jockey Yutaka Take at the controls. “Eva-Impact” is a humanoid thoroughbred developed by Jra and Nerv as the “Final Battle Weapon Type Horse.” Eva-Impact was born from the combination of Nerv technology and DNA extracted from legendary horses with a 150-year lineage. The fall of the Spear of Longinus triggered the development of this weapon.
The second new ad promotes Tennō Sho race as part of the Evangelion tie-in campaign called “Jra Instrumentality Project.” The official site...

The ad campaign for the upcoming theatrical release of Anno Hideaki‘s Evangelion 3.0: You Can (Not) Redo – the third in the four-film retelling of the Neon Genesis Evangelion series – has been… curious, to say the least.
With the film hitting Japanese screens next month we’ve shown, if I remember correctly, a trailer that was shown on some wall screening at some festival (I’m terrible at remembering things lately… I’m accepting donations for a smartphone, to serve as my storage and planning brain part hahaah), right?
This new teaser has actual footage from the movie. It’s short, though, but take a look below nevertheless:
It is one of the greatest anime series ever created and one of the highest achievements in international science fiction, as well as one of the origin-questioningly-and-philosophically deepest animes ever – period. And fans of Neon Genesis Evangelion have had a long wait for the latest installment.
