The Notenki Memoirs

By The Eva Monkey on Wednesday, December 22nd, 2004 in Merchandise, News.

There’s a very promising book being published next May called “The Notenki Memoirs: Studio Gainax And The Men Who Created Evangelion”. It looks to include quite a bit of inside info on the company and the Eva phenomenon, and a lot of what went on behind the scenes that has never been allowed into the […]

Platinum Volume 1 missing dialogue.

By The Eva Monkey on Wednesday, December 8th, 2004 in Merchandise, News.

While searching for info on Platinum Volume 4 on Anime On DVD, I came across this. Apparently, the English dialogue track of episode 3 is missing some lines of dialogue just before Shinji goes into battle against the fourth Angel Shamshel. The line “Why am I piloting this thing again, even though my father’s not […]

Cutie Honey is my latest “guilty pleasure”

By The Eva Monkey on Thursday, December 2nd, 2004 in Mildly Evangelion.

As you may know, after Evangelion Hideaki Anno got into the habit of jumping back and forth between animation and live action film making. After The End of Evangelion, he went on to make Love and Pop, his first and possibly most distinctive live action work. He returned to animation to make His and Her […]

Cutie Honey Live Action on Bittorrent Okay, I don’t know if this is going to come our way, which is why I’m posting it. This is a raw unsubbed DVD rip, so if you know absolutely NO JAPANESE WHATSOEVER you’ll be really lost. I know a little bit, and was able to piece together bits […]

Diversionary Tactics

By The Eva Monkey on Thursday, October 28th, 2004 in Personal.

I try to stick with Eva oriented stuff with this site as much as possible. But I must acknowledge that I do have somewhat of a voice on the internet, and can reach a few people. And this is something I feel very strongly about. I am an Eva geek, I am an anime enthusiast, […]

"Brief" is a euphamism for "lengthy"

By The Eva Monkey on Monday, September 27th, 2004 in Manga, Neon Genesis Evangelion (manga), Platinum.

I’m very tired right now, so I’ll try to keep this brief. My computer is afflicted with a nasty case of…. something. And I’ve been slipping into some sort of state of depression. Meaning I’ve lost interest in many things I was interested in previously. And though some things, like this site, aren’t all that […]

Live Action Segment

By The Eva Monkey on Tuesday, August 17th, 2004 in Neon Genesis Evangelion, The End of Evangelion, Video.

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 […]

Monkey’s Otakon 2004 Adventure

By The Eva Monkey on Monday, August 2nd, 2004 in Conventions.

Another convention under the belt. And after eleven conventions in the last five years, I think I just can’t attend as a regular fan anymore. Without something like panelling to keep me busy, I wouldn’t know what to do with myself. First thing’s first. The Eva Panel rocked. I completely filled the room to capacity. […]
