Why You Should Visit
The 30th-anniversary exhibition of Evangelion, counting from the 1995 TV broadcast, comes to the Event Hall at Hirakata Park. About 270 cels from the TV series, selected from more than 10,000 surviving pieces, sit alongside key animation from the Rebuild films and digital production materials shown for the first time, with voice-actor audition recordings and storyboards tracing how the world was built. A large Unit-01 figure marks the photo-spot entrance. No park admission is needed, and each visitor receives one of five random original stickers set against the park's rose garden.
