>According to inside information from a friend who has
>direct dealings with Gainax, Gainax has drawn up plans
>for an Eva prequel covering the pre-SI, SI, Gehirn, and
>early NERV periods up to the start of the TV series.
>These are not firm plans, but more an early draft for a
>potential project. Now before any fanboys start
>gushing, let me emphasize again that this is just one
>of many project proposals and drafts that Gainax has
>drawn up, and even though it would be a guaranteed
>money maker (albeit on a much lesser scale than Eva
>itself), it may still never get made. At present it is
>just one of many ideas.
