Mandarake just auctioned off an apparently authentic production cel from Neon Genesis Evangelion, featuring Misato from the show’s opening animation. Bidding opened at 80,000 yen ($962), and ended at 326,100 yen ($3,923). That’s definitely too rich for my blood, even if it is a unique, tangible piece of the show’s history. What’s interesting about this […]

I was revising some slides for my upcoming Evangelion panel at Anime Boston, and I thought I would head over to eBay and check to see what it would cost to purchase a copy of The End of Evangelion. I was astonished to find the price ranging from $23 to $150, with the average price […]

It’s been an assumption for a while, given that DVDs for Death & Rebirth and The End of Evangelion have been out of print for some time now, but it’s finally official, according to Steve Sargent of Manga Entertainment on the Anime News Network podcast, Manga no longer has the licenses for the Evangelion movies. […]

The other night, my girlfriend and I hosted a German-themed Christmas party, and amongst the guests was none other than Drinian. While we dorked out a bit about Eva, I showed him some of my collection, and he asked me if I had the holiday edition of Evangelion. And I swear, I must be living […]

This is something that has been mentioned in the past, but I was watching the Hamstergeddon episode the other night, and felt the compulsion to rip the footage and make a side by comparison. Weird right? Of all the things to post about, I chose something completely random. I’ll get around to posting something of […]

I was poking around the internet last night, entering into Google various terms like evangelion, article, interview, and hideaki anno. And usually, given enough time between Google searches, something interesting is bound to show up. Last night was no exception, as I came across an article about anonymous group suicide in Japan entitled “Let’s Die […]

I was reminded of One Hour Photo, and decided to dig it up and watch it again. I’ve posted about it before, but for those who are unfamiliar with the movie, let me break it down for you. Robin Williams plays a lonely, emotionally disturbed photo lab technician at SavMart, a colder fictionalized version of […]

ICv2 posted some news concerning the 10th Anniversary Edition of Evangelion being released by ADV this August. Here’s the short of it. This is a limited edition set, and once it’s gone, it’s gone. It will not be $250 as previously stated, it will in fact be $300. The jacket which I presumed was just […]

Aparently Gainax is releasing some sort of super duper tell all Evangelion serial publication called “Evangelion Chronicle”. They will be releasing a new issue on the first and fifteenth of every month for a total of 30 issues, 960 pages total, and 690 yen per issue. While I’m skeptical as to how much earth shattering […]

No, this is not a Japanese release. This is yet another release of Evangelion on DVD by ADV Films. This thing is supposedly limited edition and full of extras. And if the extras on Platinum are any indication, you will not be buying this set for the extras. You will be buying this because it’s […]
