Anno, in his early twenties at the time, read the ad and headed down to the film's studio, where he met with Miyazaki and showed him some of his drawings. Impressed with Anno's work, Miyazaki hired him to draw some of the most complicated scenes near the end of the movie,[3] and regarded his work highly. [4]

Anno went on to become one of the co-founders of Gainax in December 1984. is a Japanese Anime studio famous for productions such as The Wings of Honneamise, Nadia The Secret of Blue Water, [2] He worked as an animation director for their first feature-length film, Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honneamise (1987), and ultimately became Gainax's premiere anime director, helming the majority of the studio's projects such as Gunbuster (1988) and Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water (1990–1991).

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Anno's next project was the anime TV series Neon Genesis Evangelion (新世紀エヴァンゲリオン Shin Seiki Evangelion?), (1995–1996), which would be recognized as one of the most influential animated series of all time, championing a return to older styles of drawing and themes in Japanese animation and taking them to new heights of precision and depth. commonly referred to as NGE, Eva, or Evangelion, is a commercially and critically successful influential and controversial Japanese Anime that Many believe that Anno's four-year period of depression was the main source for many of the psychological elements of the series and its characters, as he wrote down on paper many of the trials and tribulations of his condition. During the show's production, Anno became disenchanted with the Japanese "otaku" lifestyle, considering it a form of forced autism. is a Japanese term used to refer to people with obsessive interests particularly Anime, Manga, and Video games. Language development. The terminology For this and other reasons, Evangelion's plot became increasingly dark and psychological as the series progressed, despite being broadcast in children's television timeslot. Anno felt that people should be exposed to the realities of life at as young an age as possible, and by the end of the series all attempts at traditional narrative logic were abandoned, with the final two episodes taking place within the main character's minds and resembling a kind of bad trip.

After the ending of Shin Seiki Evangelion (Neon Genesis Evangelion), Anno received numerous letters and emails from fans, both congratulating him on the series and criticizing the last two episodes. Among these were death threats and letters of disappointment from fans who thought Anno had ruined the series for them. A death threat is a threat, often made anonymously, against a person to kill him or her Partially in response to this outcry, a project was launched to create a movie with a "proper" ending for the series in 1997, eventually culminating in the controversial The End of Evangelion. is a 1997 Anime Film written and chief directed by Hideaki Anno; it won the Japan Academy Prize for popularity

Following the release of Evangelion Anno appeared on the NHK TV-documentary "Welcome Back for an Extracurricular Lesson, Sempai!", answering many Evangelion related questions, including the origin of the name Evangelion. [5]
