Yay for a new GAINAX Evangelion project, gotta admit that this one looks pretty interesting, and we have a wonderful selection of new figurines that'll be released along when the new show starts to air. Looks like this shall be a good year for Evangelion. :3

If by a "good year" for Evangelion, you mean the defamation of something I have dearly loved for almost ten years, then I agree. Various and numerous merchandising of the original series have become almost laughable, though I guess can't be discounted since they pretty much pulled Gainax out of bankruptcy.
I'm not too pleased by the idea of a chibi EVA anime, if you can't tell. :twitch:
edit: Yeah, I knew about the movies, Shiroth.
I hope you know about the first of the four new movies airing this year, thats what i mean't about a good year.

I'm pretty sure I'm not thrilled about this, either. Iron Maiden 2nd was pure fail, and I'm not generally fond of AU forays anyway, so my hopes and expectations here are quite low.
I'll still check it out when it drops, because, shockingly, I have been wrong before.

At first I was sure this had to be a joke. My initial reaction is obviously that this is an atrocity waiting to happen, but it's just so far out of left field and insane that who knows, it might actually cross the international date line and go back to interesting...

Well I'm a Gundam fan and when they did SD Gundam which basically pokes fun at Gundam I loved it and I mean adored it. Maybe people need to lighten up laugh at themselves a little bit. There are number of precedents for this kind of spinoff working including the Pocket Fighter series of games, SD Gundam, Super Robot Wars, and even a parody of the Macross opening released by Studio Nue themselves. I'm am very much looking forward to this as its likely to be entertaining and also likely to poke fun at the bloated Evangelion franchise as a whole. Here's hoping for references to Girlfriend of Steel.
...The Rei triplets looks adorable.
I'll take one, please. Prefabably the second oldest one.
Ayanami sisters: (all three of them are named Rei)
Rei1: Oldest. Smart and collective.
Rei2: Second oldest. Energetic and athletic. Eats a lot.
Rei3: Youngest. Wears puffy pants, very loli, and has a foul mouth.
And what the.... Evancho!? rofl!
Evangelion is a bancho! (old-school leader of delinquents) :heh:
He's always grim and quiet. Shinji always does the talking for him (he translates Eva's words).
Surprising..... to say the least.
Gainax finally gone banzai and departed to crazyland? :D

Like I said there are precedents. They haven't gone crazy, they are taking a new approach to the franchise for the purposes of self-parody.
@ Just about everybody: Come on guys, humility is a quality lacking in anime companies these days so its a breath of fresh air. Why nobody gets this I don't know, its a bit disconcerting. I mean it's fine when Shakugan No Shana-Tan (hilarious by the way) exists on the DVD's as an extra, but oh lordy no, not Evangelion. I mean it's not like it will detract in any way from what happened in the series, it's just meant to be fun. This is coming from a fan of the show by the way.
I mean I know its Evangelion the "best mecha series ever" which is immune to any possibility of flaw, and there are some believe me. Could it be the idea that the studio poking fun at there own work is breaking that rule for people that are more hardcore fans then me. Well if they announce Anno as director we'll see just how fast this blows over. Or they could use the FLCL team to deflect criticism as well. One or the other is a perfect defence mechanism.
So in conclusion, no its not a joke people, its a good natured self-ribbing, no its not an insult as its done by the same company that made the orignal franchise, and no Gainax hasn't lost it anymore than the next company has. But I wonder if the reaction to this announcement is this hostile in Japan as well though. Perhaps Gainax misjudged people's ability to take a joke. Maybe they might be a little out of touch there.

Nah, they're just trying to make money. I'd say they are crazy like a fox since there is no way they can fail to make money with this regardless of how stupid it might be.

I'm not too fond on how the chibi designs looks like (( maybe it's the colours )), but aside from that, bring it on!
I'm with Kaioshin on my stance on this. Sure, GAINAX is milking Evangelion again, but at least this appeals differently compared to say...movies with recycled footage. Besides, Evangelion's rich fanbase history and it's infamous stereotyping on the characters make this potentially better than even SD Gundam, if you think about the myriad of things they can make fun of. From Rei's "........." effect to the whole "triplets/Rei clones", it's technically a full bucket of self-amusement.
Frankly, I'd think it'd be extremely awesome if they parodied those over-analysing Eva fans as the typical school nerds who's always reading too much into things, or even poke fun at how GAINAX's continously milking Eva. Maybe they can pull a movie joke in it or something. Evangelion School Film Club's 17th film, Neon Genesis Evangelion 17 : The Same Old Thing, with Shinji watching himself go emo the 17th time.
Nah, they're just trying to make money. I'd say they are crazy like a fox since there is no way they can fail to make money with this regardless of how stupid it might be.
Yeah, because it's meant to be stupidly fun. How many people take parody-chibi shows seriously anyway?

I wonder why that might be. Probably the same reason SD Gundam succeeded, massive fanbase and all. SD Gundam also made about as much sense as the average acid trip, but it didn't really matter, it was funny as hell and it had so many in-jokes... it was for the fans in every conceivable way.
@ Daniel E. That's the spirit, put er there.

Money, sweet money.
I've checked with a few sources, and the scan mentions media, nothing about a TV series. Its still possible that it could happen, but at this moment in time its something that isn't 100% certain.
Still, i'm putting some money aside for the figure set. :3

I "wtf"-ed at this when I saw it, but in a good way. I also liked SD Gundam, and I hope this lives up to the term of "SD" as well. :)

... You know what, you're right. For some reason, I didn't even think about it being a parody (maybe because Eva is already a parody?). I'm actually looking forward to this now. Thanks.
Note: the above was not sarcastic.

Hope this is at the very least some OVAs or something like that. >_< !!

I dont know if I have to laugh o cry at Gainax's eva projects. This is one of those shows Im gonna see because I dont have to pay a cent to see a ep, because if I had to pruchase the DVD as hell I would watch this thing...

I think laugh would probably be what you'd do, as it's a comedy, that's generally what you do with a comedy. If it were a tragedy I suppose you would cry.

Only because they tend to take the show far to seriously since it is generally regarded as one of the top anime of the 90's. Like I said though, I'm a fan of the series and I have no trouble having fun watching a parody knockoff of it. It's only the people who practically live the series (Cosplay, Buy all the DVD's, Posters, Rei Ayanami Bandage Figurine) who would have a problem with it I assume. Unfortunately they are such a large bloc of the shows fans it looks like the franchise won't have as large an audience as Gainax believed.

Meh, maybe I was too shocked by the news to accept SD Eva so readily at first... but I've reconciled with myself. It does sound funny. However, like Shiroth said, there is no actual news of a plan to animate this as of now.
2007 = year of the mecha revival, indeed.
WFT, chibi Evangelion?
Seriously, how much more money does Gainax want to make with Evangelion?

The thing that Neon Genesis Evengelion outstanding for me was the serious psychological + dementia factor...
Evengelion wasn't made for airheads and I totally don't enjoy the fact that they're going to turn it into a ridiculous rabu-rabu romance comedy just to make more money... It doesnt need 1334543214 alternate univereses.

Ewok Adventure series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ewok_Adventures) anyone? Or Droids (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_Droids)? I actually caught the second series on reruns growing up and had no idea it was Star Wars until I saw Empire Strikes Back in Grade 5 and made the connection. It was really bad even for my age at the time. The first link is just a movie. What is scary is that Droids may in fact be C Canon.

This, I have to see. Doubt I'll like it, but I want to see this.
Yesh! Psychotic chibiness of Asuka! I can't wait for this show to be revealed, I saw this a couple months ago but just thought it was toys though glad to see I was wrong 8D.

According to information on Moon Phase this is not a TV series. It's just 3 short films that will be used at Eva events and streamed on the net.

Eva is my favorite series of all time, but this is just QUALITY.
Kinda fortuitous that I am just about to start reading NGE: Angelic Days when I saw this thread...

And now my mood is ruined.
