Last year, UDON Entertainment kicked off the 20th anniversary of Neon Genesis Evangelion – one of the most beloved anime series of all time – with the release of The Essential Evangelion Chronicle: Side A, offering fans outside of Japan the chance to relive and study the series’ first 13 episodes in unprecedented detail like never before. Now, the celebration continues as UDON announces the release of The Essential Evangelion Chronicle: Side B, completing their trifecta of incredible Evangelion art books!

The Essential Evangelion Chronicle: Side B follows up on and is the perfect companion piece to last year’s Side A release, featuring an extensive episode guide that explores, deconstructs, and shines new light on the latter 13 episodes of the original anime series as well as the film The End of Evangelion. This sumptuous art book is also jam-packed with detailed character profiles, exhaustive character relationship charts, summaries of vital plot elements, and a comprehensive look at various Evangelion merchandise, including action figures, model kits, apparel, and more – truly “essential” indeed for Evangelion fans and mecha enthusiasts alike!

The Essential Evangelion Chronicle: Side B is UDON’s third Evangelion art book release, following Evangelion Chronicle: Illustrations and the aforementioned The Essential Evangelion Chronicle: Side A. We are proud to have been given the opportunity to take fans on such a complete, exhaustive journey through this iconic series and its timeless art!
