AMV Spotlight: ErMac Studios

By The Eva Monkey on Monday, December 16th, 2013 in AMVs, Fandom, Music, Video.

I’ve been spending some of my time lately going through and organizing my Eva files, and while I was looking through my archive of AMVs, one editor stood out that I felt like highlighting.  Justin Emerson, who went by ErMaC, has been out of the AMV circle for close to a decade.  When he retired, […]

End of Evangelion audio commentary with Rocco and Garrett of Mega64

By The Eva Monkey on Wednesday, November 27th, 2013 in Audio, Fandom.

I’ve been a fan of Mega64 for a number of years now, and I’ve noticed and enjoyed that some of them are also fans of Evangelion.  Whether it’s Garrett hosting a spoilercast for Evangelion 3.33, Rocco vlogging about his Evangelion figures, or Shawn getting fed up with Evangelion and losing his shit, I always enjoy […]

By The Eva Monkey on Tuesday, November 26th, 2013 in Evangelion 3.0, Rebuild of Evangelion.

I’m pleased to report that the February 2014 issue of Otaku USA magazine is now on newsstands.  I wrote the cover feature for the issue, so please give it a read if you’re able.  It was an exciting and challenging opportunity for me, the only things I’ve had published have been in my university’s student […]

A little bit over a month ago, a product listing for Evangelion 3.33 with the date “February 18th” appeared on Wal-Mart’s online store.  Several days ago a product listing with the same date appeared on RightStuf.  Then today the “Evangelion” facebook page announced the RightStuf date as being the official date (subject to change), with […]

Want to buy an Evangelion animation cel?

By The Eva Monkey on Thursday, October 24th, 2013 in Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Occasionally, I put esoteric search terms into craigslist, just to see if anything interesting comes up, like putting “anime” or “manga” into the jobs section, or in this case, I entered “evangelion” into the for sale section.  Given various Evangelion media is out of print, I thought maybe I would see someone trying to make […]

Evangelion 3.33 licensed by FUNimation

By The Eva Monkey on Tuesday, June 11th, 2013 in Evangelion 3.0, Rebuild of Evangelion.

FUNimation has licensed Evangelion 3.33. After a social media thing where they encouraged people to help them get to a million likes on Facebook, they announced it there as a thank you of sorts.  So, yay for that, I think.  Further details, like a release date, are forthcoming, however if the previous releases are any […]

Evangelion 3.33 has been released in Japan on DVD and Blu-ray. There’s still a ways to go before domestic versions become available, however for those of us who partake in fansubs, we can finally enjoy the film in proper high quality goodness.  As of writing this I haven’t checked, however I expect raws are popping […]

Two more reasons why I hate Japan.

By The Eva Monkey on Monday, April 22nd, 2013 in Evangelion 3.0, Merchandise, Rebuild of Evangelion.

Just the other day, I was thinking to myself, “I should post something to my site”.  At the time, I was thinking of something along the lines of a helpful resource or guide (not what you are seeing instead).  Not much later afterwards, two links floated their way over to me saying: “please, click on […]

By The Eva Monkey on Friday, March 15th, 2013 in Merchandise.

A while back, Shirt.Woot did a promotion with Funimation for the North American release of Evangelion 2.22, where the shirt theme wold be “Robots Save the World”.  I thought it was kind of cool to see Evangelion unexpectedly creep its way into my daily life, however I thought that it was kind of a waste […]
