The rumor mill just dropped a hell of a bomb: EVA PREQUEL (maybe) IN THE WORKS!
According to inside information from a friend who has direct dealings with Gainax, Gainax has drawn up plans for an Eva prequel covering the pre-SI, SI, Gehirn, and early NERV periods up to the start of the TV series. These are not firm plans, but more an early draft for a potential project. Now before any fanboys start gushing, let me emphasize again that this is just one of many project proposals and drafts that Gainax has drawn up, and even though it would be a guaranteed money maker (albeit on a much lesser scale than Eva itself), it may still never get made. At present it is just one of many ideas.
