Evangelion studio admits leaking its own 30th anniversary short after "insufficient understanding of X’s takedown request system"

How to watch Neon Genesis Evangelion in order.

Evangelion studio Khara has issued an apology after leaking its own 30th anniversary short – but then released it officially to the public anyway.Previously, the short – a playful trip down memory lane for Asuka and her Rebuild counterpart – was only available to attendees of the 30th anniversary Evangelion celebration event.The video was (predictably) filmed behind-closed-doors, which led to Khara undertaking actions to remove it.In doing so, however, Khara allegedly emailed a high-quality copy of the short to the user, who then spread it around social media.From there, the damage was done – and Khara released the short on YouTube on March 7. You can see the full 15-minute video, including the Shinji x Asuka moment that caused heated debate, below.
