Neon Genesis Evangelion was striking and bold in a number of different ways. People often focus on the characters, the use of symbolism, and the action between Evas and Angels, but the show was also very unique in its use of typography.

Occasionally, I put esoteric search terms into craigslist, just to see if anything interesting comes up, like putting “anime” or “manga” into the jobs section, or in this case, I entered “evangelion” into the for sale section.

Tiffany Grant, Mike McFarland and Matt Greenfield were guests recently on Madman Entertainment’s podcast “Anime Snack Time”. They talked about a variety of Evangelion-related topics, including the original television series and the new “Rebuild” films. They also discussed some of what goes into localization, including translation and dubbing. For some reason, Madman’s podcast page doesn’t […]

So apparently today is the rapture. And if you are not familiar there has been talk about the end of the world, also known as the second coming of Christ, and the Last Judgment. There’s this guy named Harold Camping, who is a self-published Christian author and radio personality who has spent way too much […]

After the tree of life descends into a huge gaping vagina on Rei/Lilith’s forehead in The End of Evangelion, we’re treated to a minute-long sequence of single frame stills from the Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series that are scratched, painted on, distorted, and layered over top of one another in interesting ways.
