Description

Neon Genesis Evangelion "Mind, Matching, Moment" Eva Unit 01 Production Cel with Painted Background (Gainax, c. 1995-96). The unmistakable Eva Unit 01 is presented in this lot, displaying the monumental mech in its full glory on this outstanding hand-painted production cel. Created by Hideaki Anno, Neon Genesis Evangelion revitalized the mecha genre, a favorite of Anno himself, by taking familiar tropes and re-contextualizing them. The emblematic mech is presented with a sensational image size of 9.75" x 8" on the 2-layer, 12 field production cel, numbered A34 in the top right corner, and featured on a custom-painted background. The image comes from roughly the 20:08 mark of Episode 9 of the series, during the climactic 62-second battle near the end of the episode. The cel has its layers slightly adhered together, with the top cel presenting corrections of the linework. The cel shows slight surface scuffing that doesn't affect the artwork, and the 14" x 10.25" custom-painted background has pinholes in the bottom corners and the top right corner. The lot overall shows light handling wear from production, and it's in Very Good condition.
