Linkara of Atop the Fourth Wall recently performed a live show at Anime Midwest 2014 where he covered the Shinji Ikari Detective Diary. If you’re unfamiliar with Atop the Fourth Wall, it’s a web show that covers and riffs on comics that are awful in various ways. Now, I haven’t been terribly supportive of Detective […]

Either life is imitating art, or things have come full circle, because Sony has produced two Evangelion-themed Walkman devices in Japan, one of which is SDAT-themed. Granted, it’s not a tape player, we’re a good 20 years too late for that, but it is nonetheless an SDAT player. There were two different versions, SDAT and […]

There have been a bunch of vague and unspecified delays since the beginning of the year in regards to the English release of Evangelion 3.33. Last month, Toonami tweeted that Funimation said 3.33 was “still on hold” and that they were “Working ‘closely’ with studio khara to ‘make it closer to original vision.’”. This prompted […]

I’m not a sports guy. Even the sports that I enjoy I would much rather be playing. Maybe that’s the video gamer in me at work. So I wasn’t terribly interested in the World Cup. But, somehow, the internet has found a way to make it relevant to me. As you may know, Germany won […]

A rumor has been circulating for close to two months now, that Michael Bay wants to work on Live Action Evangelion, and insinuating that it would be his next project. I never got around to posting about it because it was infuriatingly bogus, and I didn’t feel like I should have to write about what […]

Otakon has released the official roster of fan panels for this year’s event. I’m pleased to be hosting two panels this year, for what will be my twelfth consecutive year as a fan panelist. It’s hard to believe I’ve been doing them every year since Otakon first incorporated fan panels in 2003. This year’s installment […]

Something unexpected happened this weekend. Hideaki Anno, known by many as the chief creative force behind Evangelion, accompanied his wife Moyoco Anno to the 2014 Toronto Comic Arts Festival, where she was a featured guest. As someone who has “Meet Hideaki Anno” right above “Don’t nerd out in front of Hideaki Anno” on their bucket […]
