PBS’s Idea Channel is coming to a close after five years of diving deep into and sharing ideas about pop culture on YouTube. One of their final few videos, on the overthinking of popular culture, is a topic that has always been a concern of mine. Quite often I find myself, as an Evangelion fan, concerned about society’s […]

I don’t need to tell you that The End of Evangelion is a film brimming with detail. You can watch it numerous times and still find things you didn’t notice before. There are literally parts of the movie where you have to go frame by frame to catch certain details. On top of that, the […]

As an Evangelion fan, one of the things that I really enjoy is finding connections and threads between Evangelion and other works. Not just in terms of works that influenced Evangelion, or that Evangelion specifically referenced, but also works that have subsequently been influenced by Evangelion and have made specific references to Evangelion. It’s fun to […]

So apparently today is the rapture. And if you are not familiar there has been talk about the end of the world, also known as the second coming of Christ, and the Last Judgment. There’s this guy named Harold Camping, who is a self-published Christian author and radio personality who has spent way too much […]

After the tree of life descends into a huge gaping vagina on Rei/Lilith’s forehead in The End of Evangelion, we’re treated to a minute-long sequence of single frame stills from the Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series that are scratched, painted on, distorted, and layered over top of one another in interesting ways. All told, it’s […]

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.

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 […]

I don’t quite understand creating a boxset for any fewer than three DVDs, but nevertheless, you may now purchase the Evangelion movies in a snazzy little set. For those that have already kindly supported Manga Entertainment, you need not run to the store and buy this two disc set, for this is merely the previous […]

It has become difficult recently to find stuff worth mentioning or commenting on. On occasion I come across something like what I have in store for you today. Some of you might be aware that Hideaki Anno filmed some live action segments for the End of Evangelion. Much of the live action you see is […]
