Neon Genesis Evangelion
Sure, testing your Eva synchronization rate in the entry plug is pretty cool, but so is the food faithfully recreated from the anime.
Forget “I mustn’t run away,” and keep telling yourself you mustn’t drink a large soda before seeing how the anime franchise wraps up.
Rock T-shirts and hoodies emblazoned with graffiti-spattered prints of your fave pilot, EVA-01, or the second angel, Lilith.
We thought that Shinji was done getting into close shaves but it appears he couldn’t run away this time.
Final Fantasy, Pokémon, Godzilla, Evangelion and the Yakuza franchise are just some of the big names inviting you to step into their rendered environments.
Plenty of fanservice awaits in this end-of-year Evangelion package, and we didn’t even have to queue for one.
Netflix subtitles translate Kaworu’s proclamation to Shinji as ‘I like you’ compared to ADV’s ‘I love you.’
Spice up your work space with a model of Eva Unit-01 from the hit anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion (wimpy teenage pilot not included)!
Whether the near future or the distant past, Evangelion Units look pretty fearsome in whatever era they appear.
November 7 means two things to Evangelion fans in Japan: the awesome Eva-themed bullet train makes its highly-anticipated inaugural run from Osaka to Fukuoka on the Sanyō Shinkansen line; and the eagerly awaited 500 Type Eva Café opens its doors to customers at JR Hakata Station for the very first time.
To add to all the excitement, Japan Rail West has just released the very first images of the café’s exclusive original menu. From specially marked toast to Eva sweets and an Angel curry, this themed collection of edible goods is the perfect way to celebrate the official launch of the Shinkansen Evangelion Project!
