Evangelion will celebrate its 30th anniversary in style with an unforgettable experience.

The classic anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion is celebrating 30 years since its first episode aired in October 1995, and to commemorate this historic date for one of the most popular anime of all time, a special exhibition has been announced that will open this November in Japan. Titled "All of Evangelion," the ambitious exhibition will be held at Tokyo City View in Tokyo from November 14, 2025, to January 12, 2026. It should be noted that the exhibition is part of a series of events planned to celebrate the three decades of cultural, narrative, and aesthetic impact that Neon Genesis Evangelion has left on anime and pop culture fans. So far, there are few details, so we'll have to wait a while for more details, but a new website has been launched revealing the exhibition logo. ---

A breathtaking tour through the history of Evangelion

According to the few details available at the time of writing, "All of Evangelion" will comprehensively explore the production process of the franchise, from its earliest sketches and concept materials created at the end of the last century, to the most recent works, including Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time (2021). To be more specific, we are referring to the film that closes the Rebuild of Evangelion tetralogy. Attendees will be immersed in an experience that promises to be both informative and emotional, with exhibits featuring original art, animation cels, character designs and EVA maquettes, as well as exclusive interviews, production documents and previously unseen materials previously only available to the creative team. ---

An exclusive experience for fans and collectors

The Tokyo City View event, in addition to attracting longtime fans, is also expected to attract new fans who first encountered the Evangelion franchise through streaming platforms such as Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. As a large-scale exhibition with difficult-to-access archival material, it is expected to attract a large influx of domestic and international visitors. It has also been confirmed that a pop-up shop will be open during the exhibition featuring commemorative merchandise, including limited-edition items such as figurines, exclusive illustrations, art books, T-shirts, and reproductions of props used in the animated productions. ---

A franchise that redefined modern anime

Originally directed by Hideaki Anno and produced by Gainax, Neon Genesis Evangelion marked a turning point in the medium. What began as a seemingly science fiction mecha series quickly evolved into a work of psychological introspection, philosophical exploration, and social criticism, all wrapped up in a complex narrative and unforgettable visual style. Over the years, Evangelion has expanded into numerous formats, including films, manga, video games, merchandise, and a theatrical remake that began in 2007 with the Rebuild of Evangelion film series. The most recent installment, Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time, was released in Japanese theaters on March 8, 2021, and marked a close to the story of Shinji Ikari and his complex relationship with humanity, identity, and grief. But that's not all, as the franchise inspired a wide variety of anime and Hollywood films, so its legacy since 1995 is present in the visions of internationally recognized directors and works from all over the world.
