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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Mark your calendars and get ready, because I’ll be at Otakon again this year, bringing my own particular blend of fun and excitement in the form of my new Evangelion panel, “Evangelion, WTF?”. Here’s the description: Evangelion, WTF? (18+) Fandom works in very interesting ways. Given enough time, it tends to spawn various oddities without […]

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 […]

Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series recently conducted Card Games For Charity 4, a donation drive to raise money for the Red Cross’ Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Relief Fund. There were quite a few items available for auction on eBay, predominantly Yu-Gi-Oh cards and items. But of interest to Evangelion fans was a direct-donation component through […]
