Er... wasn't there already a Unit 05? And wasn't it torn into little nasty pieces by the other Evas when it went rogue? Or was that Unit 04 I'm thinking of, somehow.
And seconded... PLEASE don't be a segue into a 'second series!' announcement. :b The first one was chopped horribly enough by the backers, and the movie was just a weak apology, it seemed.

Yeah... there's something new in the works. The Evangelion Revival Project.
It'll either be a sequel, prequel or a remake of the series. Noone knows at this point.
This time around they have a virtually unlimited budget to mess around with.
I'm praying for a remake and this time that they'll be more true to the manga version. Hell the manga version is still GOING. I'm looking forward to it personally. Though others are dreading it.
I hope it's 52 episodes long...... (2 full seasons)

It's unknown whether everyone returned to their human forms (I'm assuming they did because Asuka and Shinji were on the beach) So yeah... It could be quite... disturbing as a sequel.

A sequel?!? O boy! Maybe Nerd Boy will finally get to drive a mech!
[edit]After studying that Unit-5 thing more closely, is it just me or would that thing's greatest weapon be it's pointy **** area? I'd hate to get hit in the head with THAT[/edit]
I never <i>got</i> anime, but so many of you seem to like it.
One of these days I just might have to watch it, really... Drawing looks neat. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Ok, I promised I'd try to get the link from my friend and I did. Well, I did "try" that is. Apparently, he found it on a forum and past it along. Sadly, he no longer has it. I did, however, come across a site that directed me to the Newtype Magazine's webpage. Apparently, the news about a new Eva was covered in their April issue. Beyond that, I've got nothing. <a href='http://www.newtype-usa.com/back_issues.asp' target='_blank'>Here's</a> the link to the Newtype back issue page where you can see the April issue indeed did feature Eva.
On a side note, its amazing how much effort I'm going through to find info on this considering I didn't like Eva. In fairness, I probably should watch it again since NONE of it made sense the first time. Perhaps knowing what is going to happen will help me understand it. *shrug*
Please, let it be a remake. Let them rework the plot so that it doesn't make my head hurt.
I watched the entire series + Death/Rebirth and End in one run, decided that I very much liked the theme, the general feel and the characters, but I felt that it was a great story that just got mutilated almost beyond recognition.
There was a Fanfic series called Eva-R, with a nicely designed website and all the frills. I'm not sure what happened to it, but it was fairly enjoyable.
The Revival Project AFAIK is a re-make of the series but with new animation, 5.1 DTS sound and other spiffy stuff (like the live action EoE that was recorded)
-EDIT- I don't think it is an Official thing though. Theres no mention of Gainax anywhere at all. Good art but I wonder if it's official in anyway...
I'm still gonna download all those pictures though <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> -EDIT-

My fingers are crossed on the remake option.

When I get back in a few hours I'll post all the pics.
Here's a pic to tide you over.
Unit-07 High Maneuver Type:

I uploaded all the images. Enjoy

It really was apocalypse.
So..
What the hell..
Alternate world?
But seriously, there seems to be something rather wrong with classifying EVAs, it smacks of Gundam-ism. And that would not be good for NGE.
Never really enjoyed this.

Where is the live action EoE?! I WANT ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
I compiled it from 3 images (scanner wasn't big enough) so yeah. Maybe a few blemishes.
The image is goddam sexy though. I want a copy as a poster.
/me shudders in revulsion
I just wanna see if so I can yay or nay it, and see how they'd pull of Evas in a live action version....
Yeah also, the scans I put up before ain't legit. But they sure are purty to look at.
