Eva News

I’ve got a slew of release dates for you.

According to Anime on DVD, the second volume of the Evangelion director’s cuts will be released on March 9th by ADV.

According to Viz’s corporate site, we have the following release dates:

March 2004
Neon Genesis Evangelion, Vol. 1 (2nd edition)
Neon Genesis Evangelion, Vol. 8 (Action Edition)

According to Gainax’s corporate site, we have the following release dates:

April
Neon Genesis Evangelion, Vol. 9 (Limited edition with articulated Rei Ayanami action figure sculpted by Masaki Apsy
Neon Genesis Evangelion, Vol. 9 (Standard Edition)

Also, aparently there is a book being released by Cocoro Books & DH Publishing entitled Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Unofficial Guide. I’ve heard about this book vaguely on a message board or two, and know very little about it. However I will be receiving a copy in advance of it’s June slated release so that I can read and review it and spread word around about it.

You can learn more about Cocoro and DH Publishing at DH Publishing Online.

Eva Monkey Updates

I’ll be attending the Katsucon anime convention this Valentine’s Day weekend. I have a panel entitled “Psychology and Sociology in Anime”, so if you’d like to harass me, that will be your best way of doing so. I will also be congregating with a few people I know through my Eva Monkeying, so if you’re going to be attending and would like to meet up and talk Eva and the like, send me an email, and I’ll keep you posted. Also, I’ll be sure to harass any representatives from ADV and Viz for details about various things. Also, Hidenori Matsubara, who is credited as an animator for Evangelion, will be a guest of the convention, so I’ll see about setting up an interview with him.

Believe it or not, the Eva Otaku FAQ has been updated.

I also found this rather blatantly fabricated script for the Eva Live Action movie. And speaking of the Live Action Project, there’s a new concept piece out.

And of all the retorts slandering the Evangelion Live Action Project, this has to be the most creative. I don’t know who is the original author, or where it came from, I merely found it hosted on KojiroAbe.com
