The Nerv of Gainax

By The Eva Monkey on Monday, September 22nd, 2008 in Uncategorized.

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), like Carl […]

Adding a Third Dimension

By The Eva Monkey on Wednesday, August 31st, 2005 in Uncategorized.

I know there are some people out there that are interested in the design of the Evangelions, especially when the Evangelions are presented in three dimensions, whether we’re talking about physical models and toys, or virtual 3D models. For those that have taken the route of actually recreating an Evangelion in 3-Dimensional space, you know […]

Eva airdate on Adult Swim set

By The Eva Monkey on Saturday, July 30th, 2005 in Uncategorized.

When it was announced earlier this month that Cartoon Network had picked up Evangelion for its Adult Swim format, most Evangelion fans could care less. And why should they care? After all, they’re seen it already. And there were also quite a few Eva fans whose reaction to the news fell between agitation and outrage. […]

Eva on Adult Swim

You may have heard the announcement at Anime Expo recently. But Evangelion is once again slated to air on Cartoon Network. What exactly does this mean? Its hard to say at this point. It is unclear to what degree the show will be censored, however it has been slated to run on Adult Swim, which […]

Newtype: What’s evolved in the world of animation these 20 last years? Anno Hideaki: The first time I encountered Newtype, I was working for Gainax on the pilot film for Wings of Honneamise. I had the occasion to read it in the studio. In the beginning, I had a hard time determining the principal subject […]

Why Wiki is dumb…

By The Eva Monkey on Thursday, May 5th, 2005 in Uncategorized.

It’s times like this that I find very very difficult to maintain my reserve. In my infinite Eva geekery, I’ve spent a lot of time on the internet. Read a lot of bad fan fiction, stumbled across too much disturbing doujinshi, read some incredibly idiotic theories, and dealt with a lot of unsavoury individuals. I […]

Post Anime Mid Atlantic Stuff Well, its been a week since I got back from Anime Mid-Atlantic, where I was involved in three, count em, three panels. First and foremost, Evangelion Q&A, as well as Live Action Anime (which I did jointly with a friend of mine), and a Sentai/Tokusatsu Q&A panel (which I assisted […]

New Gainax stuff, and a Bakuretsu Tenshi spiel

By The Eva Monkey on Sunday, May 9th, 2004 in Uncategorized.

Site Updates I don’t have anything in the way of site content to offer this week. College life has been rather unpleasant lately. I’m looking forward to bidding farewell to the semester and exams, and returning to work on the site in a slightly greater capacity than the newsposts of late consisting primarily of random […]

Last Minute Update

By The Eva Monkey on Monday, April 12th, 2004 in Uncategorized.

So, I was sitting at my desk last night, a few minutes shy of midnight, playing Dr. Mario and listening to Digitally Imported European Trance. And I thought to myself…. oh yeah…. tommorow’s monday…. I have to do an update. So…. this is actually only going to be a brief update. Mostly just stuff I’ve […]
