Hideaki Anno
OK sure, his Ultraman movie with Shin Godzilla partner Shinji Higuchi got delayed from release this summer in Japan, citing the pandemic, but otherwise the Evangelion architect’s had quite the year. Not only did his aforementioned iconic anime series reach its conclusion with the long-awaited release of Thrice Upon a Time, bringing a seemingly final end (for now at least) to one of his most beloved works, Anno himself has also been living the dream with the announcement that he would write and direct Shin Kamen Rider, a new adaptation of one of Anno’s favorite shows of all time, and looking already to be a Kamen Rider nerd’s nostalgic dream.
