Neon Genesis Evangelion

[Source: Syfy] Neon Genesis Evangelion, an anime created by Hideaki Anno, first aired on TV Tokyo from 1995 to 1996 and quickly became a sensation. But while it has influenced countless anime series since, the show has been largely inaccessible for American audiences over the last decade, save for some old DVD box sets and bootlegs, and its absence has been a painful one for fans. Now the show is finally streaming on Netflix, making for a landmark occasion that has a lot of viewers excited — and maybe a little bit confused. That's where we come in.

Hideaki Anno warns about the decline of anime

Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno warns about the rapid decline of Japanese animation

[Source: blastr.com] Neon Genesis Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno had some grim predictions concerning the future of the Japanese animation industry, basically saying their days are numbered. [Insert sounds of doom]

In a recent interview with Russian news agency RIA Novosti (via EvaGeeks), Anno said the animation industry as we currently know it will end in the next five to 20 years! Now, that’s pretty scary news. Anno said: "Japanese animation is in decline. It’s already peaked." But after the death of anime — at least in the way, shape or form we know it — things will hopefully get a little better. "After it does collapse, there will probably be a new resurgence," Anno said. But will people go with the flow and wait for that resurgence? That’s Hideaki Anno's BIG QUESTION.

What's important to note here is that the death of the anime isn’t actually a full-on "the-end-as-we-know-it" type of scenario, because Japan will continue to produce and have animation. Anno said: "I don’t think animation will vanish, but perhaps there might not be the conditions that have existed up until now that have led to the creation of interesting films."

This collapse may mark the end of Japan’s dominance, but the genre will live on in other Asian countries. Anno points out that these particular markets are getting richer, and they will produce anime for their own audiences. As for Japan, there will be less money to spend on animation, which'll be a factor in this decline and death. Anno also says that there are fewer and fewer animators in Japan, and that will bring about another negative impact.

"Japan will just no longer be the center of world animation," Anno said. "Maybe in five years, Taiwan will be such a center." Anno went on to explain that he saw that Taiwanese animators had passion and energy in spades. By contrast, Anno says Japanese animation is "moving by inertia."

The Neon Genesis Evangelion creator added that he believes Japanese animation needs to adapt to new and modern working methods, and that includes computer graphics. The goal is to learn to make interesting anime with new tools, in a brand-new environment. Anno firmly believes that the current working conditions and business model are not sustainable, and if things don’t change, the decline of anime in Japan will be inevitable.

'Evangelion' Inspired Animation Looks Amazing

[Source: Forbes.com] As part of Studio Khara’s ongoing Japanese Animator Expo, with unique animation shorts released each week, we have now been graced with an Evangelion inspired entry that looks simply amazing.

Handled by Sola Digital Arts, who recently created the CG Captain Harlock film, the short was directed by Shinji Aramaki, one of the founders of the studio.

Within anime, Aramaki is a very important figure. Originally starting out as a mecha designer, he made a name for himself with penning the mecha from famous series such as Bubblegum Crisis, Mospeada and Megazone 23. With the later going on to clearly influence the Matrix trilogy, though sadly without the Garland transforming mecha bike.

More recently, he helmed the Halo Legends films and even designed the ridiculously cool looking Prototype armor used in one of the shorts.

Here is the full short below and you can also check it out on the official site. Either way, you definitely want to take a look at this.
