The release of the second Neon Genesis Evangelion movie has been announced as being due in early summer 2009, with it entitled ヱヴァンゲリヲン新劇場版:破 (Evangelion Shingekijoban: Ha), and carrying the official English title of Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance.
Additionally, their promotional poster has been updated with what appears to be the new female character.
The sequel forms the second part of the movie version of the TV anime, ヱヴァンゲリヲン新劇場版:序 (Evangelion Shingekijoban: Yo), officially Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone. The first is on the verge of receiving a general international release, and there are apparently set to be four movies in total so a long wait looks to be in store.
New characters and otherwise are promised, along with the elements which have featured thus far, in a title which is “looking to explore new ground”.
Much of these details were released previously, but with the opening of the 2.0 official site interest seems to have been rekindled.

Crikey, I can’t wait to see this. Plus, I’ll get to see a new HQ Asuka. Ahh.
If only it was coming out later in the year I’d have had a decent chance of seeing it Japanese theatres…
what ever happened to using perfectly good characters like Maya?
those of you who have played any of the old games know what I’m talking about
Sigh… long long wait still for the eventual DVD.
On the bright side, my Evangelion LE DVD trust fund has a longer maturity time then.
Oh shizz i might actually be out there :D
I hope it’s not an actual new character but instead Mana Kirishima in a method that fits into the storyline.
Evangelion?
Didn’t Hideaki Anno MURDERED it when he had Shinji masturbate to a comatose Asuka?
Just asking. -_-;
Just imagine, the fanartists, ficcers and doujin circles are gonna work overtime for this new character…
How long till first fanart? First EroDoujin? First MAD?
Great, as if we needed one more female character from this series to whore out for another ten years.
We need more dudes
wrong we need more evangelion fighting each other !!
XD
