EvaMonkey.com launched seven years ago. Ahhh… it only seems like yesterday, doesn’t it?

It’s been an assumption for a while, given that DVDs for Death & Rebirth and The End of Evangelion have been out of print for some time now, but it’s finally official, according to Steve Sargent of Manga Entertainment on the Anime News Network podcast, Manga no longer has the licenses for the Evangelion movies.

This is just too weird to escape mention. On June 6th, Bandai Namco Games will be providing a program for PS3 owners in Japan that will create a live real time updated news channel, hosted by one Misato Katsuragi. Using the voice synthesis from the Cellius software, and some quantum magic, it will [...]

So I was minding my own business, listening to the Future Synthpop channel on Digitally Imported, an internet radio station that I’ve been listening to for a number of years, and this song comes on, and at some point, I hear a female voice cut in saying “We are the eighteenth angel, the other angels [...]

It’s weird to think that ten years ago, I had to scavenge for Evangelion on VHS tapes in various specialty stores. Because of the difficulty, I had to eventually resort to buying damn near half the series at Otakon one year. Nowadays, Evangelion can be bought from nearly any video retailer, and [...]

I was hoping that Rebuild of Evangelion 2.0 would make it to theaters this year, as was previously expected. Quite a few of us in the fan community were speculating for a while on whether or not they would be able to put it out by year’s end based upon the timetable of [...]

From Japanese sarariman trading thoughts on Rei over long drags on cigarettes, to now infamous discussions of the gender of angels on particular English-language Evangelion forums, there has been no shortage of discussion on Evangelion since the first stage of the manga hit newsstands on December 26th, 1994.
Occasionally that discussion gets recorded and turned into [...]

At this year’s Otakon, I picked up this old comic book style magazine called “Mangazine” published by Antarctic Press. What I found interesting was not that it featured Evangelion, but that it featured Evangelion and was from May 1996. Whenever I come across something from the early days of Evangelion fandom (in English), [...]
