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. […]

So… I was sitting at my desk… minding my own damn business… enjoying some leftover pizza from Pizza Hut… you know, just browsing Reddit. And then… THIS SHIT HAPPENS. If you’ve ever wondered how someone can stay in the fandom of a single thing for over a decade, it’s because of shit like this. […]

I don’t know anything about ModNation Racers other than it being a PlayStation 3 racing game with a strong emphasis on user generated content. A user posted these images on Eva Geeks Forums, and I thought to myself… “Aww, what the hell, it’s not like there’s any hard news worth mentioning”. Some images: A Rei […]

I like seeing people inspired by works like Evangelion. I also like to see what comes from that inspiration. Usually it’s things like art, fiction, cosplay, music videos, and occasionally parodies. But I think original music inspired by creative works is horribly lacking, so I like to see when someone writes a song inspired by […]

I’m sure everyone has had this experience at some point in their life, where you create something as a child or adolescent, and when you go back and look at it many years later, you ask yourself, “How can something that terrible exist?”. Ten to fifteen years ago, those sorts of things were relegated to […]

I don’t have too much to say about this piece of art by Mike “Gabe” Krahulik, in which he mashes up Penny Arcade and Evangelion. According to his post, the image is for a poster that they’ll be selling exclusively at Sakura-Con in April. His comments about the image are limited, however a quick cross-reference […]

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 little bit over 5 years ago, I set out to create a concise singular site of resources dedicated to Evangelion. An ambitious prospect to say the least when you’re dealing with a work that not only has an ever-expanding universe, but is already a work steeped in uncertainty and brimming with layers of detail.
