Evangelion Eva Unit 01 Provincial Tour Campaign Begins

Since its release on Nov. 17, 2012, a great number of Evangelion and movie fans alike have flocked to theaters to see Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo. The movie is already nearing the 3 billion yen mark for box office earnings. A new project is also being undertaken for the massive hit. That project is the “Eva Unit 01 Reinforcement Project”.

The “Eva Unit 01 Reinforcement Project” is a collaboration with Nico Nico Live: Q in which the Nico Nico Eva Barrage Spec Car and a replica of Eva Unit 01 are taking a tour of movie theaters throughout the area around Tokyo. With the two meter tall Eva Unit 01 replica on display, this tour is sure to pack a punch. However, it’s not just a simple tour; at every stop there will be various missions prepared for guests to take part in. The tour began on Nov. 23 with a live broadcast called “Nico Nico Car Departs!! Eva Unit 01 Reinforcement Project 1st Report”, which was aired on Nico Nico Live.

The tour is planned to end on Dec. 26 with the inauguration of the Eva Unit 01 replica to the Eva Shrine in Tokyo’s Sky Tree Town. This event will also be broadcast live on Nico Nico Live, so don’t miss it!
