Overview

In late June 2026 GKIDS announced a two‑day Evangelion 30th Movie Fest in the San Francisco Bay Area, featuring screenings of *Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death & Rebirth* and *The End of Evangelion*. The event coincided with a global merchandise promotion by the Evangelion Store and Buyee, offering random clear cards of Asuka Langley Soryu or Rei Ayanami for purchases over ¥5,000.

Mid‑July saw the Evangelion Store Summer Fest open at AmiAmi’s Akihabara Radio Kaikan location in Tokyo, running through early August. Exclusive items such as cheki‑style card sets, acrylic key‑holder collections and themed T‑shirts were sold, and shoppers spending ¥3,300 received a ticket‑style clear card.

From July 17 to August 16, the free‑entry "Evangelion Illustration Exhibition II" was held at the Kinokuniya Mozo Wondercity store in Aichi, showcasing high‑resolution reproductions printed with Dai‑Nippon Printing’s Primart technology and offering a paper bookmark for purchases over ¥2,500.

On July 17, Bansan launched a five‑piece screen‑print series titled "EVANGELION 風神雷神図屏風", reinterpreting the National Treasure *Fujin‑Raijin Zu* with Evangelion characters on traditional washi paper, priced at ¥27,000 (tax‑excluded) each. The same day, the "Eva‑Japonism" project released a matching set of limited‑edition folding screens through Bansan’s online "Ukiyo‑e Workshop", continuing the anniversary‑linked art push.

In early August, Small Worlds Tokyo opened a large‑scale mini‑museum titled “EVANGELION 第６次ミニ人類補完計画”, running through mid‑September. The exhibition displayed historic theater posters, sold Blu‑ray and LP editions, featured a lottery‑type “Ichiban‑kuji” showcase, and offered a “resident‑rights” program where visitors could dress as NERV staff and receive a 1/80‑scale 3D figure. Tickets started at ¥3,200 for adults, with discounted passes for early buyers, and the venue included themed cafés and limited‑edition merchandise produced with Bandai Spirits and the Anime Special Effects Archive.
