Cosplay and AMVs are both vibrant subsets of anime fandom, and I feel like cosplay music videos (or CMVs for short) are an overlooked intersection of the two. It’s not something I seek out, but occasionally I stumble across one, and find it a refreshing break from your typical AMV that sources solely from the […]

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 […]

Late last year, Studio Khara teamed up with Dwango (which operates the video site Niconico) to create Animator Expo, a serialized project that provides a venue for animation producers. The site, which is bilingual (Japanese and English) describes its mission: Original projects, spin-off projects, promotional films, Music PV, and VJ Films etc… Various omnibus animations […]

Linkara of Atop the Fourth Wall recently performed a live show at Anime Midwest 2014 where he covered the Shinji Ikari Detective Diary. If you’re unfamiliar with Atop the Fourth Wall, it’s a web show that covers and riffs on comics that are awful in various ways. Now, I haven’t been terribly supportive of Detective […]

Brendan Steere, a filmmaker in New York, recently released a short pilot for a live action Evangelion webseries called Evangelion University. The show strips the Evas, Angels, and general sci-fi elements out, and re-imagines it as a 90s-era college dramedy. If someone were to pitch you that concept, you would probably be pessimistic like I […]

According to Funimation’s blog, the DVD and Blu-ray release of Evangelion 3.33 has been delayed to an unspecified date due to an “overwhelming theatrical demand”. Now, I know some of you out there are looking forward to seeing it in a theater, but I know even more of you are looking forward to buying it […]
