> Character Design: Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, Mecha Design: Ikuto Yamashita,
> Animation Production: Khara (Color) Studio. The scenario of the 1st
> part will be written by Hideaki Anno with storyboard by Shinji
> Higuchi. Key points of an interview in the magazine with Toshimichi
> Ohtsuki of King Records have also been circulating. According to that
> information: -The content is quite different though the time base of
> the story is the same as the original TV series. - It will be a
> remake, however, it is not a re-creation but a "new work". - The
> approach will be different than what Tomino-san did with the Gundam Z
> New Translation films, there will apparantly be a large amount of new
> material. - Even if the TV series has not be seen, the viewer will be
> able to enjoy it. Though the content becomes easy, it is not
> redundant to those already familiar with the series. - The technique
> that purposely scatters difficult words and phrases will not be used
> any longer. - As an antithesis to current animation industry
> segments, it is an attitude on the production side to pull the act in
> the age that started from Eva.
