Evangelion Panel at Otakon 2015
By The Eva Monkey on Monday, July 20th, 2015
If you’re going to be attending Otakon 2015 this weekend, please stop by my Evangelion panel commemorating the 20th anniversary of Evangelion, as well as 2015, its year of significance. It’s currently scheduled for Friday, July 24, from 12:45 PM – 1:45 PM in Panel 1 (BCC 314-315). This year I will be joined by fellow Eva Geeks admin Drinian, as well as the illustrious Carl Horn, who has been editing Evangelion manga forever. He currently works for Dark Horse, and before that Viz, so he has been involved in the English release of every Evangelion manga with the exception of Angelic Days, which was released by ADV Manga. Please join us as we look back, reflect, and reminisce on 20 years of Evangelion. You may even win a prize!
2015: The Year of Evangelion
2015 marks the 20th anniversary of Neon Genesis Evangelion’s premiere on TV Tokyo in 1995. Coincidentally 2015 is also the year the show is set in. Despite its age, Evangelion remains an active and vibrant fixture of the worldwide Japanese pop culture industry, with new movies, manga, merchandise, and various promotions being released and launched at a steady pace. Join us as we reflect and reminisce on the history of the franchise, from its ups to its downs, the various quirky and sometimes unusual cross-promotional campaigns, and the many ways that fans have shown their enthusiasm and admiration for Evangelion.
