I’ve been keeping some exciting Evangelion-related news from you guys. I’ve been doing some work with Appliya Inc., a Japanese iPhone developer, and the first good news can now be announced. Evangelion apps coming to the iPhone!

We put out a press release yesterday, but the real juicy part is the special promotional page we put up on the Appliya site at : http://appliya-inc.com/en/special/evangelion/

Splash screen from an Appliya Evangelion application…more to come!

Some stuff from the press release:

Tokyo-based Appliya Inc., a leading publisher of Japanese mobile applications, has obtained a license to provide anime fans with the world’s first iPhone and iPod Touch applications based on the highly popular Rebuild of Evangelion films produced by Khara Inc. The apps will be the result of a joint production effort between Appliya and Japanese game publisher BROCCOLI Co., Ltd. Their first Evangelion-related products are planned for submission to Apple in February 2009.

Appliya’s initial offerings for Evangelion will be “casual” apps that utilize the visual style, characters, and storyline from the Rebuild of Evangelion movies. These applications will take advantage of the innovative touch screen on the iPhone and iPod Touch, as well as the device’s camera, calendar functions, and clock.

Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to release! If you’d like to know more about the upcoming apps, just add a comment to this post with your email address and I’ll get back to you.
