Evangelion Store Launches ‘Operation: Overseas Supply’ Campaign on July 1

BEENOS has announced that the Evangelion Store will host the global “Operation: Overseas Supply” campaign starting July 1. The campaign celebrates the 30th anniversary of Evangelion, and it’s dedicated to fans around the world who’ve supported the franchise over many years. 

The Operation: Overseas Supply campaign offers one of two exclusive clear cards (120 mm x 70 mm) for every 5,000 yen (excluding tax) spent in the Evangelion Store through Buyee, with up to a total of 8 cards per transaction. These original clear cards come in two versions depicting Asuka Langley Soryu and Rei Ayanami in their school uniforms. The cards are designed so that holding them up against your surroundings makes it appear as if Asuka or Rei are right there in the scenery with you. The campaign will end once the planned quantity of cards is reached.

In the meantime, fans can catch up with the series and watch the Evangelion 30th Anniversary Special Screening anime short, which was previously shown at the “Evangelion:30+;” event on February 21. The Evangelion 30th Anniversary Special Screening anime short is 13 minutes long and stars Asuka, who married protagonist Shinji and had a daughter in an alternate reality.

A new Evangelion anime is in development as the “Next Genesis” for the beloved franchise. Yoko Taro, most known for his work on the NieR franchise, is the series script supervisor and scriptwriter. The directors are Kazuya Tsurumaki and Tōko Yatabe, both of whom have worked on the Rebuild of Evangelion films. The music composer will be Keiichi Okabe, who has also worked on the NieR franchise. The studios developing the anime will be studio Khara and CloverWorks (My Dress Up Darling and SPY X FAMILY).
