So this technically got approved a day late, but hey, at least this way it didn't cost us $4 Million imaginary dollars to air during halftime! -BZA

INT: Darkness. Cold, and silent, with a slightly hushed whisper of wind.

Voicover: A warm, older voice, friendly, yet a bit tinged with wistful regret.

"It seems that for now... this is goodbye. But I suspect you'll all be seeing me again."

A sudden FLASH of light, illuminating a rolling hillscape, as a single spear of brilliance pierces the skies, spreading a beautiful blue tinged radiance as it rises.

VO: "In the meantime...take the rest of the decade off. You've earned it."

The light fades, returning us to darkness, but a moment after, words begin to appear: THIS BATTLE IS OVER.

The words remain on screen for a moment, then dissolve one by one, accompanied by a sound - faint at first, but growing steadily louder. A deep, rhythmic *BOOM - BOOM - BOOM*. Footsteps, measured at first, but accelerating rapidly into a run as the final letters fade away, followed by new words crashing across the screen, as if they are being chased by that unseen charging giant.

THE WAR NEVER ENDS.

These words dissolve as the footsteps STOP with a loud crash, and after a heartbeat, a flash of something turning to face the camera. Massive and bulky, without the characteristic smoothness of an Evangelion's armor and biosculpted form, or an Angel's otherworldly appearance. Chitinous plates, jagged spikes, and an unnervingly bilious blue-green luminescence radiating from what must be it's eyes.

It sets itself as if preparing to lunge forward, and the camera snaps back to black, followed by the sound of a thunderous gunshot, and a responding roar of pain.

Neon Exodus Evangelion: This Is (not) The End

COMING 2016

"War...war never changes."

>"War...war never changes."

I'm not sure if Michael would agree or disagree. (This does bring to mind the idea of R. Lee Ermey voicing Archangel Michael, which probably wouldn't work well.)

Ok? Might I ask how you got to Ermey from that? I mean, I could see Ron Perlman for obvious reasons, but Ermey I must say eludes me.

...!

Ron Perlman is the one who said "...war never changes" in the Fallout series? I thought it was Ermey.

Well, WELL! I shall be looking forward, with bated breath and all.

One question: Is the teaser that was posted so many moons ago still applicable?

This project is coming out of a different bucket for now. It is possible that some things may get reincorporated in slightly different forms, but there's not likely to be a lot of overlap.

This all kinda started as a joke inside the studio chat and sort of took on a life of it's own. You know how it goes.

It's also worth noting that This Is (not) The End takes place at a different time than Neon Generation {was|is|willan on-be} set, so one does not necessarily invalidate the other in any case.

I think I'm conjugating that time travel verb right, though only Douglas Adams could say for certain.

There is absolutely -nothing- wrong with that, and I am waiting with baited breath.

(It'd be bated, but I had some herring at lunch.)

I remain convinced that attempting to conjugate meta-future-pluimperfect verbs is a great way to lose sanity.

Well now I have to finish my reread of NXE before that comes out. I eagerly wait for more info.

Yessssssssssssssssssssssss

Is this for real? oh, FRABJOUS DAY!

Very much looking forward to this, NXE is one of my favorite universes, it'll be very nice to go back!

>Is this for real?

It is, indeed, not a joke.

I wanted to call it This Is (not) a Test, but they talked me out of it. :)

FiMFiction.net: we might accept blatant porn involving the cast of My Little Pony but as God is my witness we have standards.

No, that would be the evitable EPU fic of Tenga Toppen Gurren Lagann.

I don't care if "evitable" isn't a word, it means what I want to say.

Well, I mean, I suppose I could, but it would be like that old Saturday Night Live "Weekend Update" bit from when the interview with Charles Manson came out in which Manson said his favorite book was J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye.

"J.D. Salinger was not available for comment, so we asked Pierre Salinger, who said sure, he could comment, but he didn't know J.D. Salinger; we said what the hell, forget it."
