I made a few tweets and facebook updates already, but after some reflection, I thought I should take a bit of time to muse over the recent developments concerning RightStuf’s sale of the Evangelion thinpack. Around black friday, RightStuf.com began a sale on a number of items, in particular, the Evangelion thinpack for $30. That [...]

Wednesday, November 30th, 2011Eva Monkey at Tigercon 2011
Monday, November 21st, 2011Just before running off to DC for Anime USA, I got a panel confirmation for Tigercon 2011 at Towson University. I’ll be presenting my newly revamped studio Gainax panel that I presented at Anime USA. If you happen to be in the area, you should take a look, it may only be a small, one [...]
Eva Monkey at Anime USA 2011
Wednesday, November 16th, 2011I’m happy to return as a panelist to Anime USA this year. Last year was my first time going to AUSA, it seems like my responsibilities as an officer at my university’s anime society always kept me from checking it out. I did last year for the first time, and was pleasantly surprised with it. [...]
Eva Monkey at New York Comic Con 2011
Tuesday, September 20th, 2011I lapsed into a period of inactivity recently. Been a bit busy with things other than Evangelion fandom, but that’s going to change for a bit. I’ll be hosting a panel I’m putting together called Evangelion Deconstructed. The panel itself is a survey of a variety of sources that went into creating Evangelion. We’ll be [...]
Viz Manga adds Evangelion Manga to its online viewer.
Tuesday, August 16th, 2011One of the greatest weaknesses of the Evangelion manga is its rate of production. The mangaka, Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, has been working on it since prior to the original television series airing in 1995. Which means that yes, the series is still ongoing, and has not yet finished. However we are getting quite close to the [...]
ADV Films Sues Gainax over Live Action Evangelion
Friday, August 12th, 2011I’ll be damned. For the first time in about five years, we actually have news about Live Action Evangelion. You know, that thing that everyone was buzzing about for a good two years? That thing where ADV, Gainax, and WETA were going to make the next huge film trilogy? Yeah, that. Apparently, ADV still exists [...]
Evangelion “Business Time” AMV at Otakon 2011
Tuesday, August 9th, 2011This year’s winner of Best Comedy and Best in Show in Otakon 2011′s AMV Contest was an Evangelion AMV produced by PixelBlended Studios entitled Evangelion 0.22 – Shinji does (not) Mean Business. It utilizes footage from Neon Genesis Evangelion set to the song Business Time by Flight of the Conchords. Aside from sexual overtones, the [...]
Post Otakon and Evangelion WTF? Panel Contents
Monday, August 8th, 2011I think I’m finally recovered from this year’s Otakon. And yes, it does take a good week to get back to normal, especially when you go back to work on Monday. Lesson learned, don’t take off the Thursday before to get ready, take the Monday after instead to recover. I had a good time this [...]
Sachiel Mask by Everfalling
Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011I found this set of photos on Flickr interesting. Looks like an art student named Mark Ellis (aka Everfalling) at Academy of Art University made a Sachiel mask for his ceramics class. I think it’s kind of cool, and I can relate, having done quite a few projects in my own arts studies that were [...]
Magi Attack Live Wallpaper for Android
Saturday, June 18th, 2011Jon Lin, aka Ornette, over at Eva Geeks has made a Live Wallpaper for Android devices resembling the Magi hacking as seen in episode 13, and The End of Evangelion. It might not replicate the effect precisely, but it’s kind of neat, and might be of interest to you if you’re an Adroid user. If [...]
