Back in late November, Funimation roused suspicions by issuing cease and desists to various fansubbers and hosts of video content from Rebuild of Evangelion. It was good indication at the time that Funimation had licensed, or was in the process of licensing Rebuild. However, it was not conclusive, as it is not uncommon for companies […]

The other night, my girlfriend and I hosted a German-themed Christmas party, and amongst the guests was none other than Drinian. While we dorked out a bit about Eva, I showed him some of my collection, and he asked me if I had the holiday edition of Evangelion. And I swear, I must be living […]

Having been part of the test camp for Studio Sokodei‘s DVD remastering process, I was expecting to see their parodies served up as a direct download, or via bittorrent or a peer to peer method of file sharing. I was surprised to see that Andrew Hosking instead chose to serve up the parodies on YouTube. […]

Volume 11 of the Evangelion manga made it’s way into stores two weeks ago, and I made sure to add it to my big shelf of Eva-ness. The volume contains stages 71 through 76, which were published from April 2006 through December 2006. It seems like an awful long time since stage 76 came out […]

I was hoping that Rebuild of Evangelion 2.0 would make it to theaters this year, as was previously expected. Quite a few of us in the fan community were speculating for a while on whether or not they would be able to put it out by year’s end based upon the timetable of the first […]

From Japanese sarariman trading thoughts on Rei over long drags on cigarettes, to now infamous discussions of the gender of angels on particular English-language Evangelion forums, there has been no shortage of discussion on Evangelion since the first stage of the manga hit newsstands on December 26th, 1994. Occasionally that discussion gets recorded and turned […]

At this year’s Otakon, I picked up this old comic book style magazine called “Mangazine” published by Antarctic Press. What I found interesting was not that it featured Evangelion, but that it featured Evangelion and was from May 1996. Whenever I come across something from the early days of Evangelion fandom (in English), like Carl […]

I’m short on time this week, so I’m going to follow suit with a simple, yet hopefully interesting post. The attached image is the current toppage illustration over at Gainax’s official website. It was created by HEX ANTISTYLE, which has also designed quite a few Evangelion T-Shirts for Gainax. Suffice to say they’re considerably more […]

Given just three more weeks, and it would mark not only the fourteenth anniversary of Evangelion, but also one year since I discontinued Eva Monkey. It was not a decision I came to easily, having run this site for an extended period of time. But I needed time to move onto other things and grow […]

At Katsucon 2004, some friends and I hosted a panel on the subject of psychology and sociology in anime. It was a topic we were short on expertise and credential, but still managed to provide a sufficiently engaging open forum for people to discuss anime on a higher level than usual. To this day, I […]
