Noa continues to bless us, my fellow Ultra fans.
I remember it's been hinted at for a while, but it's nice to get an official confirmation, and the return of the Shin Godzilla team. Although right now I just want that final Rebuild Evangelion to drop.
Here's hoping it's live-action, though I wouldn't be opposed to animation I guess.
I hope they do Shin Kamen Rider next.....oh wait
.
NOA BLESS!! This is great news,hopefully he will pull it off!
Holy crap I am all over this. You know you've got the right guy for the job when his history already includes an Ultraman fan film:

I mean Evangelion is one of the few mecha anime that explicitly feels like a tokusatsu/kaiju series, and this is a dream come true to finally see Anno helming an Ultraman project!
It would be funny if the movie was just two hours of a Ultraman-sized Anno in the same clothes from that short movie just chilling and occasionally checking his phone, drinking a giant can of soda, staring at the sky, beat up a kaiju once in a while and protect the planet while people observe him like he was some Lovecraftian creature and contemplate whether he is friend or foe.
