The Evangelion Omnibus is a real thing.

By The Eva Monkey on Wednesday, November 14th, 2012 in Manga, Neon Genesis Evangelion (manga).

As I said previously, Viz reissued volumes 1-3 of the Evangelion manga in an omnibus format which many retailers are referring to as “3-in-1”.  Previously, I couldn’t find a photo of the book, or the book itself for that matter, so I was kind of weary.  It’s an odd philosophical thing (like the tree falling […]

Get caught up with the Evangelion manga

By The Eva Monkey on Tuesday, November 13th, 2012 in Manga, Neon Genesis Evangelion (manga).

One of the biggest weaknesses Yoshiyuki Sadamoto’s Evangelion manga has is its sporadic progress over a long length of time.  The series has had 13 volumes in about 18 years.  Keeping an ongoing series of that age in print can be a difficult task for a publisher.  Many of the old volumes, especially volume 9, […]

Evangelion Manga Volume 13 released

By The Eva Monkey on Tuesday, November 6th, 2012 in Manga, Neon Genesis Evangelion (manga).

Today, Viz Media released volume 13 of the Evangelion manga, and for the first time, released it simultaneously with the release in Japan. Usually, we wait a good 6-12 months to get an English version here in North America, so I’m pleased, as they apparently pushed very hard to get it out sooner rather than […]

Evangelion and Horse Racing fans rejoice!

By The Eva Monkey on Sunday, October 21st, 2012 in Evangelion 3.0, Rebuild of Evangelion, Video.

Either we’re beginning to see the full force of the blitzkrieg of promotion for Evangelion 3.0, or there’s some huge cross section of Evangelion and Horse Racing fans in Japan that I’m completely unaware of.  At any rate, there are two ads that involve this weird Eva Unit-01/Horse hybrid thing called “Eva-Impact”, whose origin is […]

Evangelion 3.0 teaser trailer on Niconico

By The Eva Monkey on Wednesday, October 17th, 2012 in Evangelion 3.0, Rebuild of Evangelion, Video.

I may have spoken too soon about the lack of footage from Evangelion 3.0.  I also kind of wish the eva-nets was like tumblr so I can just hit reblog and be done.  At any rate, if you haven’t heard via EvaGeeks, Niconico did some sort of site update cross-promotion thing where they unveiled some […]

Post Anime Boston and panel contents.

By The Eva Monkey on Saturday, April 14th, 2012 in Conventions.

Last weekend I had the pleasure of being a panelist again at Anime Boston, hosting panels predominately of interest to Evangelion fans, however I also tackled a panel on retro game collecting, which is another hobby of mine.  Thanks to those of you who checked out my panels, particularly those of you who went to […]

Not sure if Evangelion or My Little Pony…

By The Eva Monkey on Wednesday, April 11th, 2012 in Merchandise.

This shit. THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE. Now that I am fully recovered from Anime Boston, I was going to do a post-Anime Boston update. But then I saw this ridiculous bullshit and I was like “This cannot wait. I must blog about this immediately.” And that’s where you come in.  It’s like Evangelion and My […]
