This is the first joint anime production between the two studios, with Evangelion series creator Hideaki Anno serving as director, planner, and executive producer. Acclaimed mecha designer Yutaka Izubuchi serves as co-director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside the announcement, an <a href=\"https:\/\/yamato-r2199.jp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">official website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/yamato_r2199\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">X account<\/a>, and teaser artwork for the film were revealed.
