Anno kamen rider10/7/2023 I happened to catch the exhibit in a pretty special place-Yamaguchi City, just outside Anno’s hometown of Ube (which had a concurrent Evangelion promotion and Nadia: the Secret of Blue Water exhibit-unfortunately I didn’t make it to these additional events). In celebration of his achievements, then, a traveling exhibit was put together in 2022, which started in Tokyo and worked its way around Japan. Along with directing and working on many other series and films (I have a soft spot for His and Her Circumstances), in the tokusatsu community, Anno has become most famous for his work co-directing and writing the celebrated and wildly successful Shin Godzilla (2016) and writing Shin Ultraman (2022), as well as writing and directing Shin Kamen Rider (released in March of 2023). That series would eventually spawn an additional six movies, as well as numerous manga and unending merchandise and events across Japan. Of course, he is most famous for helping to found Gainax Studios, and then directing one of the most influential anime series of all time– Neon Genesis Evangelion starting in 1995, on which he worked with fellow animation-and-tokusatsu wunderkind Shinji Higuchi (the main character of Evangelion is named after Higuchi). Anno has been a force in both industries, creating iconic Kamen Rider and Ultraman fan films in his youth that remain celebrated to this day, before moving on and becoming a professional animator and working on some of the most celebrated fantasy/sci-fi animation properties from the 1980s, including the Macross franchise, as well as working with Hayao Miyazaki on Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (1984)–particularly the astonishing Giant Warrior attack and meltdown sequence. For most anime and tokusatsu fans, at this point, Hideaki Anno needs no introduction.
