We are calling for an official high school slice-of-life spin-off set in an alternate peaceful continuity of Neon Genesis Evangelion. Titled Evangelion: Neon Genesis High, this series would center on a romantic storyline between Rei Ayanami and Kaworu Nagisa, exploring their emotional growth and relationship in a world free from Angels, NERV, and apocalyptic destiny.

 
For decades, Neon Genesis Evangelion has stood as one of the most influential anime of all time. Through psychological depth, complex symbolism, and emotionally intense storytelling, it reshaped the medium and left a lasting global impact. Its legacy continued through the Rebuild of Evangelion, proving that this universe still resonates with audiences worldwide.

However, Evangelion has also shown glimpses of alternate realities — brief scenes of school life, peaceful settings, and versions of its characters free from apocalyptic fate.

We are calling for an official spin-off series titled:

Evangelion: Neon Genesis High
A high school slice-of-life romance set in an alternate, peaceful continuity.

This series would center on Rei Ayanami and Kaworu Nagisa as ordinary students navigating youth, identity, and emotional connection in a contemporary high school setting. No NERV. No Angels. No world-ending prophecy.

Instead, the focus would be:

Personal growth outside of trauma
Emotional vulnerability in everyday life
The development of a romantic relationship between Rei and Kaworu
Exploring who these characters become when they are free to choose their own paths
Both Rei and Kaworu are defined in the original narrative by isolation and destiny. A slice-of-life format would allow audiences to see them as individuals beyond symbolism and sacrifice.

What does Rei become in a world where she is not a tool?
How does Kaworu connect when he is not bound by inevitability?
What does love look like when it is not overshadowed by tragedy?

From a creative and business perspective, this concept is viable and timely. Evangelion remains globally recognized, with strong merchandise performance and sustained cultural discussion. Character-driven romance and slice-of-life storytelling perform strongly on modern streaming platforms, particularly when attached to established franchises.

An official high school continuity would:

Expand the tonal range of the Evangelion brand
Attract both longtime fans and new audiences
Encourage renewed engagement and discussion
Provide fresh merchandising and collaboration opportunities
We respectfully call on Studio Khara to consider developing Evangelion: Neon Genesis High as an officially licensed series.

Evangelion has explored despair, identity, and rebirth.

Now, we ask to see peace.
To see youth without apocalypse.
To see Rei and Kaworu choose each other in a world that does not demand sacrifice.

Let this be the next evolution of Evangelion — not through destruction, but through ordinary life.

If you believe that the world of Neon Genesis Evangelion still has new stories to tell…

If you want to see Rei Ayanami and Kaworu Nagisa explore love, identity, and youth in a peaceful high school setting…

If you believe an official slice-of-life romance spin-off could expand the legacy of Evangelion in a bold and meaningful way…
