Maybe those "I must buy this! I must buy this!" ads really are working. Akibablog (NSFW) reports that the Evangelion 1.0 Rebuild Movie LE DVD which went on sale last Friday, is now sold out in many of the popular shops in Akiba. When asked if it was because they stocked too little due to few orders being placed, the staff replied it was...
Makoto Shinkai's first artbook, which contains over 400 backgrounds from his movies, appears to be selling well. Daike-san tells me that it's sold out in a good number of shops in Akiba and it's even managed to make Amazon's Top 10 list of Japanese books. Can't wait to get a hold of it myself!...
Episode 17, About The Home of the Wind As a brief reminder of what happened last time, we see Megumi has guided the group to a large traditional looking building. Both Shin and Takuro were surprised at how desperately she banged at the door until she explained it was her home. Jun had now taken some medicine and seems to have settled down...
Today was the big day the first Rebuild of Evangelion LE DVD is officially released in Japan. I know the ISOs and raws have been floating about on the internet for a good few days now but, I'll just wait for my real copy to arrive before watching it. In the meantime, I came across these hilarious ads that Akibablog (NSFW) found being used at...
A new entry about how Makoto Shinkai's been doing in London. Maybe those of you down there will recognise the picture he's taken of his neighbourhood. I have the impression that he's been getting a lot of visitors but doesn't mind them since he's been eating out and drinking with them. He writes:
April 22nd 2008 It's nearing the end of...
Despite the six minute video leak that happened a few days ago, episode three continues as planned today with nothing editted, clearing up more questions and showing more flashbacks. Episode 3 Summary - The Captive Academy As Rollo revealed his reason for appearing in front of the Chinese Embassy, his phone rings. He answers and is...
Episode 16 Summary - The Child of Liberation and the Spirit of Healing The Marebito's leader Kyujo is resting as Saki shares what little of the pills she had left amongst her team members. Udou was hesitant but she insists saying that she will manage because she hadn't absorbed that many Personas. Satorou chips in to accept the pills...
I hope this isn't the final design for the Evangelion 1.0 Rebuild LE DVD that comes out next week. It's so plain and I thought the box was supposed to have an original illustration? Maybe I should just cancel my pre-order. Then again, it might not be the final design because those two discs aren't even labelled unless they are so lazy that...
As if the Rebuild of Evangelion promotion wasn't enough for UCC's coffee cans, Bandai has teamed up with the company to promote their Petit Evangelion DS game via their drinks this month. Produced in limited quantity, there are two designs as shown here; one of the Petit Eva cast and one of Rei drawn by Sadamoto Yoshiyuki the character...
When I first saw this "6 minutes" of Code Geass R2 raw floating around, I dismissed it thinking it was just some promotional video or something. It wasn't marked as episode three and I don't keep track of Anime news. Thanks to reader Calvin, I now know it's actually a leak of the next episode due this Sunday. I don't know why anyone would...
