Evangelion live action is real
ITmedia reports that the April fools joke by Yahoo about making a live action TV drama of Evangelion wasn’t that much of a joke after all.
Yahoo asked visitors to vote for their dream cast for if an Evangelion live action drama was made, and now TV Asahi will be making a live action Evangelion with the cast that was voted by users. It’s not certain yet if they can completely stick to the casting from the poll results, but they’ll try their best to do so.
Anyway it doesn’t seem like it’ll be a real TV drama or a movie, as the article says it will be used to promote the 2nd Evangelion movie that will be going on theaters in June, so it’s likely it’ll just be a short clip.
These are the people that were the top picks for each character:
Ikari Shinji – Kamiki Ryunosuke
Ayanami Rei – Horikita Maki
Shikinami Asuka Langley – Toda Erika
Ikari Gendou – Abe Hiroshi
Akagi Ritsuko – Matsuyuki Yasuko
Katsuragi Misato – Matsushima Nanako
