The 10th volume of the "Groundwork of EVANGELION" series, "Rebuild of Evangelion: 3.0: Original Animation Illustrations Vol. 2" will be published by Khara Inc, the producer of the animation.

The book will feature the fascinating animation drawings shown in "Rebuild of Evangelion: 3.0" which is one step in the process of creating a technology that is regarded as the pinnacle of today's animation production.

The "Evangelion Exhibition" a large-scale exhibition sponsored by Asahi Shimbun that was held at Ginza Matsuya in the summer of 2013 and has since travelled to various locations in Japan, also exhibits many original drawings that represent the animation production process and has renewed interest in the subject.

The exhibition featured a collection of original drawings and layouts from the second half and climax of "Evangelion: 3.0," the third film in the "Evangelion" series, which has taken a new turn under the leadership of Hideaki Anno, the film's general director.

The original drawings allow the viewer to read the skills of the artists who created the various scenes in the film.

The number of original drawings in the book is several thousand, and the scanned data has been carefully retouched to reproduce the texture of the original colour pencils, making it even easier to understand the ingenuity and techniques of the animators.

It's 384 pages of pure "Evangelion" goodness — you'll love having it in your library, so place your order today!
