Evangelion CG Animator Yusuke Matsui to Announce Khara's New Anime Short on July 4

Studio Khara revealed on Friday that Yusuke Matsui (CG animator and CG animation director for Evangelion: 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon A Time) will announce a new anime short at this year's Japan Expo event in Paris, France on July 4 at 11:00 a.m. (18:00 JST).

Matsui was a CG animation director for Evangelion: 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon A Time, Gravity Rush: The Animation - Overture, and Yoiko no Rekishi Anime: Ōkina Kabu. He was the CG lead animator for Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo.

Evangelion: 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon A Time opened in Japan in March 2021, and ranked #1 in its opening weekend. The film surpassed 10 billion yen (about US$74 million) in the Japanese box office. The film's updated Evangelion: 3.0+1.01 version began playing in June 2021 for the film's "last run." The new version contains "minor revisions" to some animation sequences, but does not change the film's story. The Evangelion: 3.0+1.11: Thrice Upon A Time film shipped on Blu-ray Disc/DVD in Japan in March 2023.
