20th anniversary edition will expand to 60 issues

The publisher DeAgostini is relaunching the Weekly Evangelion Chronicle Magazine on Tuesday, this time for a 20th anniversary edition.

The magazine initially premiered in 2006 and ran for 30 issues, and it was revived as a "new and revised edition" in 2010 with a planned 40 issues, but ultimately went on to publish 50 issues. With this new revival, the magazine will have 60 issues.

The first issue will ship with an exclusive binder, and two more binders will be sold as a set. When the magazine was revived in 2010 there were four planned binders, but this time there will be six. Subscribers will also receive a 30-magnet set in a paper frame.

Like the previous incarnation of the magazine, each new issue's 32 all-color pages will be split into different sections, including some new sections: mechanic, character, timeline, storyboards, design, gallery, petit Eva (super-deformed characters), story file, tactics, installation (a guide to locales), technology, and extra.
