Description

Evangelion: Death and Rebirth / Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone Rei Ayanami Promotional Cel (Gainax, 2007). "I'm sorry. I don't know how I should act at a time like this..." "Smiling would be a good start." Rei Ayanami uncharacteristically smiles in this astonishing original promotional cel. This stunning piece is BASED ON the sequence seen at the 35:17 mark of the Neon Genesis Evangelion recap film titled Evangelion: Death and Rebirth (the scene retells the events of the sixth episode with eye-catching, updated animation). This cel depicting Rei Ayanami was sold with an Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone DVD as a secret prize, once owned by the proprietor of the Japanese specialty store that sold the DVD. PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT A PRODUCTION CEL. This image is a popular subject of fan-made cels, or doujin. Fan cels of the image typically attempt to copy the image nearly exactly, and, in contrast, this cel features alternate shading to that seen in the film. These alterations to the original image are more common of cels created for promotional purposes. Rei nearly fills the 12 field cel in this dramatic closeup. The piece is displayed on black paper for presentation, and it shows minimal handling and edge wear. This iconic image of Rei is highly coveted, and it is in Fine condition.
