The character will be in the same class as Shinji, Asuka, Rei and the others, and will be along the same lines as characters like Mana Kirishima and Megumi Yamagishi. I don’t know specifics, [...]

Evangelion Character Design Contest
Tuesday, December 20th, 2005Eva Store Opened
Tuesday, December 20th, 2005http://www.evastore.jp/ Gainax has formally opened an online Eva store, with quite a thuggin spash screen I might add. It would be nice if it had an English version, or if there was instruction for english speakers to order. Perhaps in time. You’ll find some interesting stuff, such as the new Sachiel, Lilith, and Zeruel girls. [...]
Ahh… winter.
Sunday, December 18th, 2005This winter break has been in the making for quite some time now. I’ve been unable to work actively on Eva Monkey over this fall semester. But as of about 7 o’clock yesterday, I was free of academia. So, what does the next month and a half call for? Lots of anime and internet schenanigans. [...]
The Four Barons of Hell
Saturday, December 10th, 2005While on Otaku Generation, I was reminded of the now (hopefully) firmly debunked notion of the Evangelions being based on the four “barons of hell”. For those of you not familiar with this, let me break it down for you. The idea is that there are four demons/devils in some Christian biblical/apocryphal text that are [...]
Eva Monkey on Otaku Generation
Wednesday, December 7th, 2005This week, I was a guest on the Otaku Generation weekly podcast. It was an enjoyable experience. Among other things, we discussed my own involvement in the Evangelion fan scene, as well as some of the usual fare of Evangelion discussion. For many of you, you’ve heard much of this from me in the past, [...]
Platinum Edition Booklets
Tuesday, December 6th, 2005I’ve felt compelled recently to do a little site work, so I put together a page for the Platinum Edition Booklets that the forums members assisted me in transcripting some months back. They have a lot of interesting information in them, so if you didn’t purchase the separate Platinum DVDs or simply don’t feel like [...]
What’s up buddy?
Thursday, November 17th, 2005It’s been over a month since my last news post. On one hand, it hasn’t been eventful in terms of Evangelion stuff in the last month. Eva has been airing on Cartoon Network, but there’s nothing worth talking about. The Platinum Thinpak is coming soon, and I should be getting it for review, so if [...]
Evangelion 10th Anniversary
Friday, October 7th, 2005Have I gone crazy?
Saturday, September 24th, 2005There are times when I’m not quite sure, but I think I may have lost my sanity. And if I knew better, I would pick up the phone, place a call to the crazy house, and ask them to please lock me up. But, I digress. For some strange reason, I’ve become addicted to You [...]
Adding a Third Dimension
Wednesday, August 31st, 2005I know there are some people out there that are interested in the design of the Evangelions, especially when the Evangelions are presented in three dimensions, whether we’re talking about physical models and toys, or virtual 3D models. For those that have taken the route of actually recreating an Evangelion in 3-Dimensional space, you know [...]
