"...new secret projects, and more. We look forward to your continued support this year."

-Hideaki Anno, from the khara_inc2 account

"Happy New Year! Time flies, and in May of this year Khara Inc. will celebrate its 20th anniversary. This year, we will continue to work diligently with our staff and employees to create this year's new Evangelion short film, a new Yamato film..."

Two big events happening that aren't mentioned:

• A new 13-minute animated Evangelion short that is directed by Naoyuki Asano and written/planned/supervised by Hideaki Anno.

• A special One Last Kiss performance utilizing the over 700 LED bar lights at the Central Tower of the Eva Extra 30 area.

"This year, we will continue to strive to bring you events that everyone can enjoy. We sincerely wish you all good health and happiness.

January 1, 2026
Khara Inc."

From the khara_inc twitter account.

"Last year marked the 30th anniversary of the broadcast of "Neon Genesis Evangelion," and we would like to express our sincere gratitude for the generous support we received.

In February of this year, the Eva Festival will be held, marking the culmination of the 30th anniversary of Evangelion."

He also reveals that the reason khara took Gainax's settlement was because they "did not want to spend any more of our time dealing with them" after disappointing behavior from Yoshinori Asao, the former representative of Fukushima Gainax.

He thanks Yasuhiko Kamimura for helping khara return Gainax's properties to their original creators to the best of their ability.

The official website for this set finally got updated with a more detailed bonus features list, and a lot of this is stuff I recognize or stuff that's been announced already, but what on Earth is Eva-Extra 05?

I'm personally gonna wait to see if GKIDS is able to release a more affordable version in the States. (Would be even cooler if they ditched those two dumb 4K discs as well).

I will still be keeping my eye on this thing to see if anyone extra bonus features are included with it that we haven't seen.

This thing is expensive as hell if you're planning on trying to import it.

Not including shipping, the set on its own costs a little over $500. A bigger set containing the full series is over $700.

Plus, the set contains two useless 4K discs for 1.11 and 2.22 (the masters for which are 1080p SDR)

Anno is also planning/producing the Space Battleship Yamato Complete Records Exhibition taking place in Yokohama during January 2-13. More details on the event can be found here: tfc-chara.net/yamato50th/n...
