Cosplay and AMVs are both vibrant subsets of anime fandom, and I feel like cosplay music videos (or CMVs for short) are an overlooked intersection of the two. It’s not something I seek out, but occasionally I stumble across one, and find it a refreshing break from your typical AMV that sources solely from the […]

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 […]

In case you missed it, the first 6 minutes and 38 seconds from Evangelion 3.0 popped up on the internet earlier today, after having been aired on Nippon Television Network along with TV edits of Evangelion 1.0 and 2.0, in promotion of Evangelion 3.0, which is being released to Japanese theaters tomorrow (the 17th), although […]

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 […]

The more digging I do, the more Evangelion-inspired music I discover. This time around, it’s an album called “Asuka” by Free Parking!, an alternative rock band from Pennsylvania. They describe their influences as “Weezer, Thrice, Radiohead (just Brendan), Blur, The Fratellis, Say Anything, Vampire Weekend” and more. I can definitely hear some influence from Weezer […]

It seems our excitement over the June issue of Newtype and it’s Studio Khara feature was a bit premature. LIwarriorTKD, a user on Eva Geeks who is currently living in Kyoto, got his hands on the new issue and has been translating and posting little bits of information for us, as well as some photos […]

Now, I don’t want to get anyone excited prematurely, but the June issue of Newtype is going on sale in Japan a week from today, and it has been said to have a prominent feature for Studio Khara. And now, thanks to this commercial for the issue with voice over by Kotono Mitsuishi (Misato Katsuragi), […]

I don’t know anything about ModNation Racers other than it being a PlayStation 3 racing game with a strong emphasis on user generated content. A user posted these images on Eva Geeks Forums, and I thought to myself… “Aww, what the hell, it’s not like there’s any hard news worth mentioning”. Some images: A Rei […]

Well, it looks like those Eva edition iPods were such a hit that Gainax has licensed another such device. That’s right, you can be the proud owner of a Kenwood Digital Audio Player in Rei White, or Asuka red! Looks to go on sale December 24th, for the low low price of 59,640 yen […]
