The September 2007 release of "Evangelion Shin Gekijouban: Jo" (Evangelion New Theatrical Version: Beginning) was the first of a series of four movies to be directed by Anno Hideaki. The second episode, which features an appearance by popular character Asuka Langley Soryu, will be entitled "Evangelion Shin Gekijouban: Ha" (Evangelion New Theatrical Version: Destruction).
The Evangelion franchise was born as a manga in 1995 and has become hugely popular on both sides of the Pacific, with a multitude of spinoffs in various media. The first three movies in this latest series center around a retelling of storyline from the original TV series and feature new scenes, characters, and more advanced CG technology. The fourth film will present a totally new ending to the story. The series is also meant to be targeted at movie fans who are not familiar with the complex world of Evangelion.
