First of all, I want to know who else on this planet besides my father uses a trackball mouse. There must be enough of them out there, otherwise they wouldn’t make them. Drives me nuts. Imprecise, gives me a cramp. And the trackball mouse is just starters. He’s also got his security so high that […]

I may at some point have mentioned that I haven’t had a proper summer vacation for some time now. I don’t think I need to tell you that college absorbs free time the way a sponge absorbs water, blood, urine, or any combination of the three. Today marked the last leg of the academic side […]

There have been numerous releases of Evangelion over the years, and almost all of the releases outside of Japan have boasted very poor extras. While it is not necessary, the rise of DVD culture practically mandates that distributors do everything they can to give you your money’s worth. Companies such as ADV Films and Manga […]

No, this is not a Japanese release. This is yet another release of Evangelion on DVD by ADV Films. This thing is supposedly limited edition and full of extras. And if the extras on Platinum are any indication, you will not be buying this set for the extras. You will be buying this because it’s […]

You might have already heard, but Mainichi did a very nice feature on Evangelion’s tenth anniversary, included are a few articles from a more Japanese perspective, containing some interesting information from “outside the bubble” so to speak. They are definitely worth the time read, so please do so. The episode synopses might be a bit […]

I knocked my Maglite flashlight off of my desk shelf and it landed on my laptop, annihilating my computer’s hard drive. So to all you people out there, don’t be stupid like me, don’t ever put a heavy object where it can fall onto and destory a part of your very being. It’s very strange, […]

I watched this video of a panel from Tekkoshocon, and I’m surprised to say that the word on the Live Action Evangelion Project seems pretty good. I’ve had severe hesitations, and have on more than one occasion acted as a sort of harbinger of doom in regards to the project, convinced that there is no […]

I wanted to take some time to make an update on the forum transfer. I’ve received thirteen donations for a total of about $60 after processing deductions. This has me well on my way to bringing the forums back on a new host. Thanks go out to Jeff B, Michael H, Benton H, Garrat C, […]

Every year UMBC awards approximately $50,000 to undergraduate students to pursue self-directed research in an area of their choosing, from sciences like Biology, to arts like Dance. Given my desire to write a book on Evangelion as a sort of capstone to my journey and devotion to the show over the past six years, I […]
By The Eva Monkey on Sunday, April 2nd, 2006 in Ikari Shinji Ikusei Keikaku (manga).
It would appear that the Shinji Ikari Raising Project manga which I posted about sometime last year is still in production and had its first volume published by Kadokawa Comics on the 25th of March. Scans of the volume were made available and have been archived along with the two stages that have been translated […]
