Evangelion: 2.0 released on 27th of June in Japan

From ANN

Evangelion: 2.0 You Can [Not] Advance, will open on 27th of June in Japan.

“The project’s official website and the second film’s teaser, which was shown with the first film, promised the fan-favorite character Asuka, the EVA-02 through -06 units with new designs for many of them, a new eyeglasses-wearing brunette girl character, more fan-service, a shocking new story, and new visuals.” The character designer Yoshiyuki Sadamoto designed three Be@rbrick toys – one each for Asuka, the character Rei, and a mystery character – to be sold separately on March 14 or bundled with advance film ticket purchases.”

For those of you who can’t wait, Funimation will release the R1 DVD later this year, but this is one title that would surprise us if it didn’t make it to the UK.
