The Neon Genesis Evangelion Proposal (企画書, kikakusho) is a 35-page, full-color document created in 1993, 2 years before the show's TV airing, for promotional purposes. It is essentially a prototype for the series, complete with production illustrations; notes on theme and story; write-ups on characters, mecha, and setting; and short summaries for the planned twenty-six episodes.
33 of its pages were printed, as 6 cm x 8.5 cm thumbnails, in Neon Genesis Evangelion Newtype 100% Collection (the pages about Sachiel, Arael, Shateiel, and Turel were omitted). All 35 were reprinted full-size in Evangelion Chronicle, as 35 separate leaves, each with supplemental commentary on its opposite side.
Numerous changes would be made between the Proposal and the final version of the show.
Characters
- "Konrad Lorenz", rather than "Keel Lorenz". (This is actually the name of a famous Austrian biologist, completely unchanged.)
- Fuyutsuki is 45 years old -- Gendo's junior rather than senior.
- The penguin character does not have a listed name.
- The character of Hikari is not present.
Evangelions
- Stand-alone Eva-05 and Eva-06 models are present, rather than a mass production Eva series.
Angels
Entities called shito (使徒) are present, but the "alternate version" of this is "Apostolo" (アポストロ) rather than "Angel". (This is a much more literal approach, considering shito is the Japanese word reserved for the Biblical apostles.)
- An Apostolo called Raziel attacks in Episode 01 rather than Sachiel.
- A design for Sachiel is presented, although unrecognizable save for the "amphibious monster" theme.
- Ramiel looks the same, except each of its faces has a "cut-out" triangle floating above it.
- The Sahaquiel of Proposal is completely unrecognizable, essentially two spools of super-destructive ribbons (a la Zeruel's arms) attached to a disembodied core.
