This is an original Japanese B2 promotional poster produced in 1999 for Neon Genesis Evangelion: Genesis 0:14, the final volume in the original Japanese VHS / LaserDisc home-video release campaign.
Issued to promote the concluding instalment of one of the most influential anime series ever made, this is a highly desirable late-period Evangelion promotional poster, distinguished by its full ensemble cast image, its striking black-and-pink graphic design, and its direct connection to the series’ finale and End of Evangelion-era conclusion.
Series background
Created by Hideaki Anno and produced by GAINAX, Neon Genesis Evangelion remains one of the defining anime works of the 1990s. Combining mecha spectacle, psychological drama, apocalyptic science fiction, and philosophical depth, the series transformed the landscape of Japanese animation and continues to command an enormous international following.
Genesis 0:14 represents the end-point of the original home-video release structure, making this poster especially appealing to collectors seeking material tied to the final chapters of the Evangelion story.
Poster design
The main image features an ensemble cast portrait bringing together the principal characters of the series, gathered against a textured blue-black abstract ground. Among those depicted are Shinji Ikari, Asuka Langley Soryu, Rei Ayanami, Kaworu Nagisa, Misato Katsuragi, Ritsuko Akagi, Kaji, Gendo Ikari, Fuyutsuki, Toji, Kensuke, Hikari, Maya, Shigeru, Makoto, and Pen Pen.
At the top, two lines of white text reference the concluding chapters:
“FINALE : Take care of yourself.”
“ONE MORE FINAL : I need you.”
These lines directly evoke the emotional and philosophical closing movement of the Evangelion narrative, giving the poster a strong sense of culmination and finality.
Beneath the image is a dense episode index, listing the titles of the series from EPISODE: 1 through EPISODE: 26', including their official English subtitles. This feature gives the poster an unusual documentary quality, effectively summarising the entire series within a single design.
The lower section is dominated by the large pink title:
NEON GENESIS EVANGELION
Below this appears the release designation:
Genesis 0:14
The overall design is clean, balanced, and visually powerful, with the soft character rendering set against bold graphic framing. It is one of the more attractive and comprehensive Japanese Evangelion home-video posters of the period.
