“Neon Genesis Evangelion: Genesis 0:5 — Episodes 9 & 10” (新世紀エヴァンゲリオン Genesis 0:5), Original Release Japanese Home Video Poster 1996, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) O486

This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1996 to promote King Records’ LaserDisc/VHS volume Genesis 0:5, featuring Episode 9 “Both of You, Dance Like You Want to Win!” and Episode 10 “MAGMADIVER,” issued under the Starchild imprint. The sheet carries the KING RECORDS / STAR CHILD marks with catalog notations for the VHS/LD editions and notes “Illustrated by TAKESHI HONDA,” identifying it as a genuine in‑store promotional piece.

Film background
Hideaki Anno’s landmark series follows Shinji Ikari, Rei Ayanami, and Asuka Langley as they pilot Evangelions to protect Tokyo‑3. The two episodes highlighted here span the rhythmic “synchronous training” battle against Israfel and Asuka’s perilous volcanic operation in her D‑type suit—defining character moments that broaden the show’s themes of connection, will, and responsibility.

Poster design
A chic, editorial layout anchored by a vertical black band at left that reads “Genesis 0:5 / EPISODE:9 Both of You, Dance Like You Want to Win! / EPISODE:10 MAGMADIVER.” The right border carries the tall title NEON GENESIS EVANGELION. Center stage is Ritsuko Akagi in two treatments: a large monochrome portrait with vivid red lips and, below, a full‑color office vignette of Ritsuko in lab coat and heels, surrounded by desks, files, and monitors. Credit blocks at lower left include Illustrated by TAKESHI HONDA, ©GAINAX/Project Eva・テレビ東京, and the KING RECORDS / STAR CHILD logo set—classic hallmarks of the mid‑’90s Genesis home‑video campaign.
