Evangelion, Ghibli, Shonen Jump Release Background Art For Video Calls
posted on by Kim Morrissy
Last week, the Granblue Fantasy team released background art from the game for fans to use in their video conferences. A number of anime are also releasing art for similar purposes, including SHIROBAKO, Evangelion. Even Studio Ghibli and Shonen Jump's editorial department are getting into it.
Amusingly, SHIROBAKO's selection includes a shot of the room the director imprisons himself inside in order to focus on getting his storyboards done.

The Evangelion Twitter account posted a series of tweets of wallpaper art, including eight visuals from the Rebuild films and eight "sound only" images. The Evangelion account stressed that the images should only be downloaded for personal use, and that reposting is not allowed.

Nippon Animation also uploaded iconic backgrounds from six of its classic World Masterpiece Theater anime titles on the studio's official website. The titles include A Dog of Flanders, 3000 Leagues in Search of Mother, Anne of Green Gables, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Peter Pan & Wendy, and Tico of the Seven Seas.
Finally, the Cute High Earth Defense Club Love! Twitter account told fans to use the background art they posted freely.
