"The Bandai Channel website announced that Petit Eva ~Evangelion@School~, the "first official super-deformed series" based on Neon Genesis Evangelion, will be adapted for video. The official announcement will be made in the September issue (on sale August 10) of Newtype magazine in Japan. The Gainax/Khara franchise spinoff spoofs the psychological science fiction drama by reimagining the characters as classmates in Tokyo-3's Nerv School, headed by Principal Gendō Ikari and Misato-sensei. The student body includes three different Rei "sisters," the EVA-01 mobile weapon reimagined as the school bully Evanchō, and the ill-fated Jet Alone robot as JA-ko, a "hidden character" in the form of a shy android girl.
Ryuusuke Hamamoto created the character designs which has inspired four-panel gag manga serializations in four different magazines: Monthly Shōnen Ace, Newtype, Dengeki Hobby Magazine, and Figure Oh. The Petit Eva project has also developed merchandising from super-deformed figurines to limited edition Doritos corn chips."

Where it came from
Petit Eva: Evangelion@School originated in 2007 as a comedic reimagining of the iconic Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise. Moving away from the psychological intensity and apocalyptic stakes of the original anime, this series was created by Bandai Visual to present the familiar cast as students and teachers in a chibi-style slice-of-life setting. The shift in tone served to broaden the appeal of the brand to a younger audience and fans who enjoyed seeing the complex characters in a lighthearted, everyday school environment.
The character designs were handled by Mine Yoshizaki, known for his work on Sgt. Frog. Yoshizaki focused on simplified, expressive aesthetics that emphasized humor and accessibility. Upon its release, the ONA series was received as a playful, experimental departure from the main canon. It functioned as an early example of a major mature franchise successfully pivoting into a stylized, merchandising-heavy spin-off, paving the way for numerous chibi-fied versions of classic anime characters that followed in the years since.
