The End Is Not the End with Seven Seas’ License of NEON GENESIS EVANGELION: ANIMA Light Novels
Evangelion light novels! A new title from Nagabe (The Girl from the Other Side)! The final five new manga and light novel licenses have been announced by Seven Seas Entertainment. But if you haven’t spotted the title you were hoping for this time around, don’t forget their upcoming January survey in which you can make your own suggestions.
Neon Genesis Evangelion: ANIMA by Ikuto Yamashita, Takeru Kageyama, and Hiroyuki Utatane, a light novel series exploring an alternate ending to one of the most influential anime series of all time!
What would have happened if the Human Instrumentality Project — from the final two episodes of the original Neon Genesis Evangelion anime — had never reached fruition? This official light novel series explores just that, allowing Shinji Ikari and the pilots around him to age three years and face a different future. This alternate ending began serialization in Japan a decade ago, and remains the only light novel series for the legendary franchise. With the original 1990s anime series having its very first streaming release on Netflix in Spring 2019, these light novels are a perfect expansion for fans new and old.
