The more digging I do, the more Evangelion-inspired music I discover. This time around, it’s an album called “Asuka” by Free Parking!, an alternative rock band from Pennsylvania. They describe their influences as “Weezer, Thrice, Radiohead (just Brendan), Blur, The Fratellis, Say Anything, Vampire Weekend” and more. I can definitely hear some influence from Weezer […]

Carl Horn was a guest this week on Anime News Network’s podcast, ANNCast, speaking to Zac and Justin about the early days of anime and manga fandom in the United States. You may know Carl for having worked on not one, not two, but three Evangelion manga titles. He has been an editor on both […]

Tiffany Grant, Mike McFarland and Matt Greenfield were guests recently on Madman Entertainment’s podcast “Anime Snack Time”. They talked about a variety of Evangelion-related topics, including the original television series and the new “Rebuild” films. They also discussed some of what goes into localization, including translation and dubbing. For some reason, Madman’s podcast page doesn’t […]

It seems like more and more cool music is coming out of members of Eva Geeks these days. First Rachel Macwhirter, then Dr. Shoggoth, and now Michael Mancuso (aka Esselfortium), who has released an entire Evangelion-inspired concept album called Seventeen More Times. This is the description of the album Esselfortium provided: “Seventeen More Times is […]

If you like Happy Hardcore/Hardcore, or what some may refer to lovingly as “candy raver music”, you should check out DJ S3RL. He’s a musical artist from Brisbane Australia, who not only makes his own tracks, but also samples from things in popular culture, including anime. He has one such track called “Neon Genesis” which […]

I do this panel at conventions… sometimes it’s called “The Evangelion Omake Box”, and sometimes it’s called “Evangelion, WTF?”. And essentially what it is is an emceed clip show featuring a bunch of ridiculous bullshit from Evangelion and it’s fandom. Amidst the video files and audio clips, there’s this video, by an Eva Geeks user […]

Rachel Macwhirter, who I’ve posted about before, has released another original Evangelion song, entitled “With Me Now”. Unlike “A Thousand Angels”, which was kind of general, this song focuses on the second child, Asuka. It starts off kind of loose and builds up over the course of the song, adding in strings, percussion, and flute. […]

There’s not really a whole lot say about this. The podcast itself is rather short, edited down to under six minutes. It features interviews with Yuko Miyamura and Tiffany Grant, and focuses prominently on their portrayal of Asuka in Japanese and English, respectively. They talk about their backgrounds and some of their other roles as […]

It’s been awhile since live action Evangelion popped up on the radar. Part of me was hoping that the demise of ADV Films meant that the project was more or less finished, but Matt Greenfield indicates that the project is still moving forward. It’s nice to know at least one new detail… that the script […]

For your Thanksgiving listening pleasure, might I consider taking a listen to this week’s installment of Anime News Network’s podcast entitled “NERVous Breakdown“. Carl Horn, Dark Horse manga editor, long time Evangelion manga editor, and all around cool guy discusses with me and host Zac Bertschy a number of different topics including our take on […]
