This month issue of Newtype is definitely worth the purchase if you’re a hardcore Evangelion fan. Apart from the nice coverage of the Eva 1.0 movie that was recently shown at the theaters. What came along was a nice tote bag that is large enough to throw in the Newtype magazine. Its definitely a bag I [...]

News in from figure shop Waku-Waku Wonder today that a pair of Okama-designed Evangelion Asuka and Rei (witch ver.) prize figures will be coming from Sega in February of next year at 2,480 yen for the pair. While all we have to go on at this point is the Okama illustration and word that they'll be 16 cm tall, they'll probably resemble his earlier Eva / Sega prize figure work in production quality; we also know that the sculpt will be handled by OSIRIS of production unit Heavy Gauge, who has quite a distinguished recent repertoire to his name. Preorders should be showing up elsewhere soon! (no more)

While I'm not much of an Eva collector the absurdity of the commodification in this case struck me as something I couldn't pass up on, so here you have it: Rei on a drink cup.

So, I’m quite sure EVA-01 and EVA-00 are very happy to become once again one of the main subject in otakus conversations. EVA-00 : “Of course, it is a great [...]

The Anime News Service reports that Utada Hikaru’s “Beautiful World,” the ending song to the first Evangelion Rebuild film, is now #1 on the Japanese radio charts.
