Copy-ready prompt
A retro anime poster with dramatic tension, employing a hardcore sci-fi mecha visual style. In the foreground, three young pilots stand back-to-back, with a massive purple bio-mechanical robot standing behind them. The pilot in the center is a slender boy, wearing a dark navy blue and black pilot suit with white panels on his shoulders and a glowing red circular core on his chest, facing forward with a serious expression. To his left is a pale-faced girl with an ice-blue bob haircut, wearing a white futuristic bodysuit, slightly turned to the side. To his right is a girl with long, reddish-brown hair, her hair flowing to one side, wearing a bright red pilot suit, looking resolutely ahead. Behind the three, the massive mecha head occupies the center of the composition, symmetrically distributed, with a single horn, orange-glowing eyes, sharply defined armor, and massive shoulder structures extending upwards like black wings. The background is outer space, with two celestial bodies visible: a massive cratered moon directly behind the mecha head, and a smaller planet to the right. The poster's bottom depicts a dilapidated futuristic city, its buildings crumbling, littered with rubble, sparks, and debris. At the very center of the bottom are two tiny human silhouettes running forward through the ruins, surrounded by pink energy streams extending in arcs to the left and right. The color palette uses deep indigo, black, purple, rust red, and ashen gray, with a heavy film grain, aged ink texture, weathered paper wear, paint splatters, scratches, printing damage, and a rough silkscreen poster feel. The overall composition is a complete movie poster, with dense typography around the edges: a large vertical English title "NEON GENESIS EVANGELION" on the left, next to which is smaller red vertical text "HIRANO OF EVANGELION"; near the lower left corner is a red NERV logo and the word "NERV"; a boxed label in the lower left corner reads "TOKYO-3" and "JAPAN"; a red warning box in the upper right corner reads "ANGEL ATTACK" and Japanese characters below it; and multiple lines of vertical Japanese slogans along the left and right edges. Cinematic, emotional, apocalyptic, and highly detailed, it presents a perfect combination of iconic 1990s anime poster design and modern high-end illustration quality.
