I made a few tweets and facebook updates already, but after some reflection, I thought I should take a bit of time to muse over the recent developments concerning RightStuf’s sale of the Evangelion thinpack. Around black friday, RightStuf.com began a sale on a number of items, in particular, the Evangelion thinpack for $30. That […]

Just before running off to DC for Anime USA, I got a panel confirmation for Tigercon 2011 at Towson University. I’ll be presenting my newly revamped studio Gainax panel that I presented at Anime USA. If you happen to be in the area, you should take a look, it may only be a small, one […]

I’m happy to return as a panelist to Anime USA this year. Last year was my first time going to AUSA, it seems like my responsibilities as an officer at my university’s anime society always kept me from checking it out. I did last year for the first time, and was pleasantly surprised with it. […]

I lapsed into a period of inactivity recently. Been a bit busy with things other than Evangelion fandom, but that’s going to change for a bit. I’ll be hosting a panel I’m putting together called Evangelion Deconstructed. The panel itself is a survey of a variety of sources that went into creating Evangelion. We’ll be […]
By The Eva Monkey on Tuesday, August 16th, 2011 in Manga, Neon Genesis Evangelion (manga).
One of the greatest weaknesses of the Evangelion manga is its rate of production. The mangaka, Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, has been working on it since prior to the original television series airing in 1995. Which means that yes, the series is still ongoing, and has not yet finished. However we are getting quite close to the […]

I’ll be damned. For the first time in about five years, we actually have news about Live Action Evangelion. You know, that thing that everyone was buzzing about for a good two years? That thing where ADV, Gainax, and WETA were going to make the next huge film trilogy? Yeah, that. Apparently, ADV still exists […]

This year’s winner of Best Comedy and Best in Show in Otakon 2011’s AMV Contest was an Evangelion AMV produced by PixelBlended Studios entitled Evangelion 0.22 – Shinji does (not) Mean Business. It utilizes footage from Neon Genesis Evangelion set to the song Business Time by Flight of the Conchords. Aside from sexual overtones, the […]

I think I’m finally recovered from this year’s Otakon. And yes, it does take a good week to get back to normal, especially when you go back to work on Monday. Lesson learned, don’t take off the Thursday before to get ready, take the Monday after instead to recover. I had a good time this […]

I found this set of photos on Flickr interesting. Looks like an art student named Mark Ellis (aka Everfalling) at Academy of Art University made a Sachiel mask for his ceramics class. I think it’s kind of cool, and I can relate, having done quite a few projects in my own arts studies that were […]

Jon Lin, aka Ornette, over at Eva Geeks has made a Live Wallpaper for Android devices resembling the Magi hacking as seen in episode 13, and The End of Evangelion. It might not replicate the effect precisely, but it’s kind of neat, and might be of interest to you if you’re an Adroid user. If […]
