On July 6, the first 10 minutes of Evangelion 3.0+1.0 were shown worldwide by Studio Khara, which you can tell was quite a while back. The funny thing is that most fans don’t want to believe the story until something actually materializes. The announcement does sound promising this time as it also mentions various goodies to be given to early birds that include: a CD, a bandana signed by chief director Hideaki Anno, an action figure, a diorama stand, a portable fan, a pouch and a cushion.
