This weekend, I will be paneling at Katsucon, a convention which holds special significance to me, because it’s where I hosted my first panel, an Evangelion panel, back in 2003. It was on a Sunday morning. There was a bilzzard. There was a “structural emergency” in the rear of the building. But the show went […]

I took a stop off at Barnes & Noble on my way home tonight to pick up Evangelion manga volume 12, which had a street date of the 15th. An Eva Geeks forum user reported grabbing it last week, and Carl Horn corroborated that some direct vendors like comic shops may have received shipments in […]

Today, in the spirit of Valentines day, I have Evangelion Valentines day chocolates for you. I believe there are normal every day versions of these, and then there are the Valentines Day version, both made by Bandai. I also found a Japanese YouTuber doing a video review of the Valentines version, which for reasons unknown, […]

So I was made aware of the fact that Revoltech is making a figure of Jehuty from Zone of the Enders. I got really excited about this, and ended up reading about it on Tomopop’s website. Subsequently, this ended up being one of those occasions where I decided to put “evangelion” into their search function, […]

There’s not really a whole lot say about this. The podcast itself is rather short, edited down to under six minutes. It features interviews with Yuko Miyamura and Tiffany Grant, and focuses prominently on their portrayal of Asuka in Japanese and English, respectively. They talk about their backgrounds and some of their other roles as […]
By The Eva Monkey on Thursday, February 3rd, 2011 in Live Action Evangelion, Podcasts.
It’s been awhile since live action Evangelion popped up on the radar. Part of me was hoping that the demise of ADV Films meant that the project was more or less finished, but Matt Greenfield indicates that the project is still moving forward. It’s nice to know at least one new detail… that the script […]

So… I was sitting at my desk… minding my own damn business… enjoying some leftover pizza from Pizza Hut… you know, just browsing Reddit. And then… THIS SHIT HAPPENS. If you’ve ever wondered how someone can stay in the fandom of a single thing for over a decade, it’s because of shit like this. […]
