Carddass Evangelion Hikari & Asuka vintage rare Japan anime card

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

A rectangular Japanese collectible card from the Carddass series, dedicated to the Evangelion universe. The visible side features a color illustration of two female characters in school uniforms, identifiable as Hikari and Asuka thanks to the names inscribed at the top of the card ("HIKARI & ASUKA" in white capital letters, followed by a Japanese inscription). The design reflects the characteristic graphic style of the 1990s, with vibrant colors, clean lines, and typical expressions of Japanese animation from that period.

The background of the card is black, which makes the character design and inscriptions stand out. The two characters are depicted in a dynamic pose, in the foreground, with particular attention to the details of their school uniforms (red ribbons, blue-green pleated skirts, white blouses). The outlines are sharp, and the visible surface appears glossy. No publisher logo or serial number is apparent on this side, but the presentation and style are consistent with Carddass cards issued for the Japanese market.

The card features rounded corners, typical of the Carddass format, and appears to be in good overall condition on the visible side, with no obvious creases or scratches. The print quality is consistent, with no notable alteration of colors or design. No details of the reverse side are visible in the provided photo.

This type of card is sought after for its illustration faithful to the Evangelion aesthetic, as well as for the iconic duo of characters from the manga and anime. The print style and Japanese typography confirm an visual authenticity specific to vintage 1990s editions.

Used item sold as is.
