Furu Anime Panikku

Evangelion Die Sterne has been out of print for a long period of time, even before I started watching anime. I think it was printed a couple of years back, hence the out of production. But, I’m glad that a newer version of the artbook was published. It has been out in bookstores for some months, but it was only till today when I took opportunity of the Kinokuniya storewide 20% sales to grab this book.

And now, I present to you Die Sterne 2.0.

It costed S$50 even after the discount, and the yen price was 2,800 yen. I felt it was still a ripoff but I got it anyway. My wallet cries.

I did not scan this artbook mainly because I do not have a scanner, and I don’t want to risk damaging it. Instead, I took photos of it so that you can have a sneak preview of what’s inside. Sorry for the poor quality. I just cannot find a good way to take pictures without the reflection being in the picture.

Overall, I’d say that the book was worth the money, despite it being overpriced. Probably since it’s Evangelion. Sigh, why can’t Kinokuniya charge slightly cheaper? -.-

Notice how many posts that I have made so far have Evangelion in the title? Well, you might say I am an Eva fanboy, which I would not deny. I find nothing wrong with me like Evangelion.

For Evangelion products, my basic principle is “If it’s Rei, Eva01 or Nerv, the price is reasonable and the merchandise looks great, just buy”. Using these 3 criteria, it has been much easier for me to decide when it comes to purchasing Evangelion stuff.

To end off this post, here’s a picture of my current calender. It’s still at the July and August page. Look at it and you will understand why.
