Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series recently conducted Card Games For Charity 4, a donation drive to raise money for the Red Cross’ Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Relief Fund. There were quite a few items available for auction on eBay, predominantly Yu-Gi-Oh cards and items. But of interest to Evangelion fans was a direct-donation component through […]

I do this panel at conventions… sometimes it’s called “The Evangelion Omake Box”, and sometimes it’s called “Evangelion, WTF?”. And essentially what it is is an emceed clip show featuring a bunch of ridiculous bullshit from Evangelion and it’s fandom. Amidst the video files and audio clips, there’s this video, by an Eva Geeks user […]

I am really looking forward to Anime Boston this weekend. I’ve been wanting to attend for a few years now, so I’m really pleased to be attending as a featured panelist on the subject of Evangelion, when there are already so many Evangelion-related events on the schedule. Please join me for: Saturday – 11:00 AM […]

Mandarake just auctioned off an apparently authentic production cel from Neon Genesis Evangelion, featuring Misato from the show’s opening animation. Bidding opened at 80,000 yen ($962), and ended at 326,100 yen ($3,923). That’s definitely too rich for my blood, even if it is a unique, tangible piece of the show’s history. What’s interesting about this […]

I was revising some slides for my upcoming Evangelion panel at Anime Boston, and I thought I would head over to eBay and check to see what it would cost to purchase a copy of The End of Evangelion. I was astonished to find the price ranging from $23 to $150, with the average price […]

If you’re not really familiar with the Evangelion manga, you should probably take a seat, because you’re about to get schooled. You see… Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, as amazing as an artist as he may be, is terrible at being a manga-ka. He has taken multiple, long breaks from producing the Evangelion manga, which he began in […]

My 2011 panels offering continues forward with Tekkoshocon this weekend. I’m looking forward to coming back for my second year, so drop by and say hello to me. In addition to hosting several panels that are relevant to your interests, I’ll be staffing in the panels department once again. Serving as my wing-man and co-panelist […]

So, yeah. Evangelion 2.22. On DVD and Blu-ray. Pick your poison… which in my case would be both. Now available at fine retailers everywhere. You now have no excuse to not have seen this film. It’s been in theaters. It’s been camripped. It’s been fansubbed. It’s been re-released to theaters. It’s been dubbed and released […]

Rachel Macwhirter, who I’ve posted about before, has released another original Evangelion song, entitled “With Me Now”. Unlike “A Thousand Angels”, which was kind of general, this song focuses on the second child, Asuka. It starts off kind of loose and builds up over the course of the song, adding in strings, percussion, and flute. […]

To promote the DVD and Blu-ray release of Evangelion 2.22, FUNimation is teaming up with Shirt.Woot for it’s latest shirt design derby. The theme is Robots Save the World, and in addition to Woot’s typical $1000 prize, FUNimation is tossing in a bunch of other prizes, like copies of Evangelion 2.22, home theater systems, and […]
