Godzilla vs. Evangelion — 2016 Official Collaboration

Mahiro Maeda Notebook
Original Pencil Artwork by Shin Godzilla's Image Designer — Promo Item, Not Sold in Stores

An unused, never-sold-in-stores (Hibaihin / 非売品) promotional notebook from the official Godzilla vs. Evangelion collaboration, released in Japan in 2016 to celebrate the theatrical premiere of Shin Godzilla. This edition features an exquisite monochrome pencil drawing by Mahiro Maeda — the artist who served as Godzilla's image designer on Shin Godzilla itself, making this arguably the most historically significant design of the notebook series.

Maeda's celebrated career spans key animation on Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind and Castle in the Sky, kaiju design on Gamera: Guardian of the Universe (1995), design work on Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), and the Rebuild of Evangelion films. The front cover, back cover, and interior spread join into one continuous panoramic battle scene — EVA Unit-01 grappling with Godzilla across a ruined city, rendered entirely in fine-art pencil work.
