Description

Neon Genesis Evangelion "Angel Attack" Shinji and Gendo Ikari Production Cel and Animation Drawing Group of 3 (Gainax, c. 1995-96). "But... why me?" "Because it's impossible for anyone else..." From the unforgettable first episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion, presented is an original production cel that should be immediately recognizable for any fan of the groundbreaking anime series. This image represents the very beginning of Shinji's story, the end of the first act in which he must rise to the occasion and take on the harrowing role of an Eva pilot. An incredible piece showcasing director Hideaki Anno's unmatched ability to squeeze drama out of every shot, this iconic image perfectly encapsulates the rocky relationship between protagonist Shinji Ikari and his cold-hearted father Gendo. A must-have, pivotal moment from the celebrated series! Moreover, this exact scene famously inspired the popular "Get in the Robot, Shinji" internet meme. Seen at the 15:15 mark of the first episode, "Angel Attack," this 12 field, 2-cel setup is displayed on a printed background for presentation purposes, and it is accompanied by its two matching original animation drawings rendered in graphite and color pencil on 12 field animation paper. The cels and drawings are numbered E13 and A8 in the upper right corners, and they show minor handling and edge wear. Gendo's cel has pegholes attached with tape, and the drawings show paint-debris/staining. One drawing shows surface scuffing and a hole near the center. In addition, this lot includes two extra prints of background elements. The condition overall is Fair to Very Good.
