The Evangelion Crossing Expo will appear in Tokyo from September 13 to October 22, 2024. It’ll cost 2000 JPY ($14.10) for a ticket and you can check it out at the Roppongi Museum. [Thanks, Game Watch!]
The exhibition started in Tokyo but Khara didn’t return to the city for about two years. The Crossing Expo exhibition contains over 4000 pieces of Evangelion merchandise from past projects, displays, and more. There will also be little description placards for each one, which will focus on the history and charm of the franchise. Items range from figures of characters and replicas of weapons all the way to pachinko machines.
Outside of checking out the items on display, you can also buy merchandise or use the Evangelion Unit-01 AR view. This will display a Unit-01 looking down from the roof of the museum. The machine will stand at over 25 meters tall, so you can pretend that a giant robot really showed up.
Neon Genesis Evangelion is a highly popular and influential anime that came out in 1995. Since then, Rebuild of Evangelion came out to rewrite certain plot endings, as well as provide a new ending. The promotional art for Evangelion Crossing Expo includes Mari, meaning that it’s in the Rebuild universe. But considering how long the original Evangelion’s been around, it’s highly likely that some of the items in the exhibition are from the pre-Rebuild era.
The Evangelion Crossing Expo exhibition will be in Tokyo from September 13 – October 22, 2024.
