The impact of Neon Genesis Evangelion on popular media has hardly waned over the years, so it’s easy to forget that the iconic mecha series will hit the big ‘3’ this year (the first episode premiered on 4 October back in the day, so it’s not quite there yet).

In celebration of its 30th anniversary, a special exhibition titled ALL OF EVANGELION is set to open at Tokyo City View this fall, kicking off on 14 November and running through the new year until 12 January 2026. The event is being organised with the help of Studio Khara — which owns the rights to the IP from Gainax — and other partners, treating fans to a showcase of diverse production materials, including rare animation cels, original drawings, and design documents from the original 1995 show.
Digital assets from the Rebuild of Evangelion film series will also be featured, charting its legacy from 2007 to 2021. A reboot of the original series with new elements, it comprises 2007’s Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone, 2009’s Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance, and 2012’s Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo, coming to a definite close with 2021’s Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time. More details about the exhibit will be shared in the lead-up to its launch.
Directed by Hideaki Anno at Gainax, Neon Genesis Evangelion follows 14-year-old Shinji Ikari, who is recruited by the mysterious organisation NERV to pilot a giant mecha called “Evangelion” to fight against monsters known as “Angels” in a post-apocalyptic world. It originally aired from October 1995 to March 1996, and has spawned multiple movies, reboots, and spin-offs, alongside countless brand collaborations — from a crossover with mobile title Goddess of Victory: NIKKE and PC builds from PC and peripheral company ROG, to themed hotel rooms and even rations.
The ALL OF EVANGELION special exhibition takes place from 14 November 2025 to 12 January 2026.
