How often do you see an anime creator in a car commercial? Even in Japan, not often! Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno is featured in a new Honda ad, even doing some of the narration.

On Wednesday, a report surfaced that another entry in the Godzilla series was announced at the Shin Godzilla vs. Evangelion Symphony in Tokyo. Yesterday, Anno's studio, Khara Inc., cleared up the confusion that ensued. 

Earlier this summer, Hideaki Anno apologised to Evangelion fans, saying he was sorry to keep them waiting. Now he says he's working hard on Eva.

Now, Hideaki Anno of Evangelion is rich and famous. But he wasn't always that way. He's paid his dues in full, even when he was barely getting paid at all.

This July, Toho Studios is releasing a brand new Godzilla film in Japan. We've see the teasers (here and here), but now, let's get a close-up look at the production maquette.

I'm rather reluctant to call this an April Fools joke.

Hideaki Anno, creator Neon Genesis Evangelion, thinks that the Japanese animation industry's days are numbered.

Toho is making a new Godzilla film. Hooray! It will be directed by Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi. Toho hasn't released an official poster yet. But, hopefully, the official one will be a wonderful as this.
