Evangelion News
On Tuesday January 13th, Evangelion Resurrection is released, it contains the original and director’s cuts versions of episodes 21-23. Go to Best Buy has it decently priced at $19.99, however I would suggest checking if your local Best Buy has copies in stock before going out, as some aren’t so good about stocking anime. This DVD should be of interest to some, as there is some new info about the Live Action Eva movie on the DVD.
You may all be familiar with the Rei and Asuka games in the tradition of Princess Maker (the sim games where you raise them as a daughter). Well, now you can raise your very own Shinji Ikari. Release date, game info and what not are forth coming, but it was announced recently on Gainax’s website.
Also, there is an issue of Newtype out now that features Evangelion 2, for PS2. It is supposed to have lots of info, as it appears to be the issue’s feature, but in reality the feature is merely a broad documentation of all the Eva stuff out there. Its basically one big advertisement. It was rather disappointing, and I want my money back. If you’re going to buy this magazine purely for the Eva content…. DON’T. Find someone who has it, and borrow it. Don’t waste your money on the ultimate beginner’s guide to Evangelion.
Eva Monkey Updates
Lets get this week’s updated content out of the way so we can get to the more interesting stuff. The LPs section has been updated, I have album covers, both front and back, and track listings for a number of Evangelion albums. So if you’re looking to buy an Evangelion album for a particular track, you can check the track listings here. I also updated the omake section and put up a gallery of images of UFO Catcher Toys. And last, but certainly not least, I have a report written by Pan-Chan of Lelola.net entitled “Life is an Unfamiliar Ceiling: A look at director Hideaki Anno”.

Much deserved Plug
Also, I would like to promote a piece of fan fiction that I found to be quite good. And I mean that, as I typically avoid fan fiction like the plague. No offense to any of the fanfiction enthusiasts out there. But Xanatose wrote a short story following the events of Episode 24 that I found quite intriguing. I found that his Shinji was a bit uncharacteristic of the Shinji in the series, but that was the purpose. It was executed quite well and was an enjoyable read. I suggest that if you have about ten free minutes that you once over it.
