[22] The distinctive aesthetic appeal of the female lead characters' designs contributed to the high sales of Neon Genesis Evangelion merchandise. The design of Rei, in particular, became so popular that the media referred to the character as "Premium Girl" due to the high sales of books with Rei on the cover. [23] Production[edit] Director Hideaki Anno fell into a depression following the completion of work on Nadia: The
Secret of Blue Water[24] and the 1992 failure of the Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise sequel project, Uru in Blue. [25] According to Yasuhiro Takeda, after the failure of Blue Uru Anno agreed to a collaboration between King Records and Gainax while drinking with King representative Toshimichi Ōtsuki;[26] King Records guaranteed Anno a time slot for "something, anything". [27] Anno began the development of the new series in 1993 around the notion of not running away,
which had been the
underlying theme of Aoki Uru, which focused on a protagonist accustomed to avoiding personal responsibility who finds himself trying to save the heroine of the story. [28] Early into the production, he stated his intent to have Evangelion increase the number of anime fans, named otaku in Japanese, and attract interest in the anime medium[29] bringing a breath of fresh air to the mecha genre. In the early design phase of the Evangelion project, several formats were considered, including a film, a television series and an original video animation (OVA) series. The producers finally opted for the television series, as it was the most widely accessible media in Japan at that time. [18] Anno also originally proposed the title Alcion for the new series, but this was rejected due to its
lack of hard consonant sounds. [18] He conceived the series as a metaphor of his four-year depression, as he tried to put his whole self into the work and imprint his own feelings on the film.
