Hey, remember when you could spend like $400 on an Evangelion ipod? Well now you can spend just $2-3 on your iPhone or iPod Touch to make it Evangelion-ish. Appliya Inc. has developed an application for the Apple iPhone and iPod to give it a clock and countdown time reminiscent of the activation timer in […]

Dengeki PlayStation Online has posted quite a few images from AOU2009 Amusement Expo of Sega’s Rebuild of Evangelion figures due out between June and September. Ordinarily, this wouldn’t be especially noteworthy, but as it turns out, one of the figures on display was a design illustration of the figure for the new character Mari, who […]

It’s official, we now have a release date for Rebuild of Evangelion 2.0: You can (not) advance. According to the official Evangelion website, the film will be in Japanese theaters starting June 27th, 2009. When a fansub of that will become available is anyone’s guess. Keep in mind that it took a considerable amount of […]

From crab meat to windshield visors, Gainax has put Evangelion on everything you could possibly imagine. So Evangelion tarot cards are not that unusual once you stop to think about it. In fact, I recall a time on the former Eva Monkey Forums when we mused over producing an Evangelion tarot deck. Ultimately, nothing came […]

So I was minding my own business, listening to the Future Synthpop channel on Digitally Imported, an internet radio station that I’ve been listening to for a number of years, and this song comes on, and at some point, I hear a female voice cut in saying “We are the eighteenth angel, the other angels […]

It’s weird to think that ten years ago, I had to scavenge for Evangelion on VHS tapes in various specialty stores. Because of the difficulty, I had to eventually resort to buying damn near half the series at Otakon one year. Nowadays, Evangelion can be bought from nearly any video retailer, and even at some […]

A while back I thought I would check out the offering of Evangelion video reviews on YouTube. At the time, the only relevant video I could find was by “Hard’s Anime Reviews”, an account which has since been suspended. His reviews were disappointingly barren of any pre-planning or insight; the sort of production anyone could […]

For better or worse, I’ve added two links to the site navigation, one is Archive, which is an archive (imagine that) of all of the blog entries for Eva Monkey. The other is Old Content, which is an archive of much of the old content from Eva Monkey over the years. I’ve been going through […]

I feel kind of dumb. I’ve had this website forever, and the blog has had RSS for the longest time, but I’ve never really understood RSS or how to implement it. Turns out, it’s actually pretty simple, so I’ve implemented the feed in the template, so you should see the feed icon in your browser, […]

Tear down the slopes in style… or lack of style. It really all depends on how you look at it. Or maybe it depends on how your friends look at it. While I personally think the board is badass, I think the suit is a bit… well… scary. As in like, “hey everyone, I just […]
