NTV’s releasing a new Evangelion boxset with what I think is by far the coolest design ever. Now that’s what I call top quality packaging.
The entire boxset contains all 26 episodes of the entire TV series, a BGM collection consisting of 22 tracks,「EVANGELION:DEATH(TRUE)2」, and NEON GENESIS EVANGELION 01 TEST-TYPE 「残酷な天使のテーゼ」, an exclusively edited full size opening of 残酷な天使のテーゼ.

The angels have always played a crucial part in Evangelion’s storyline. Without them, there just wouldn’t be Evangelion. Hence, I think they truly deserve more merchandise of their own.
In August, Broccoli’s going to release an entire set of Evangelion Angel T-Shirts, ranging from the third to the seventeenth Angel. Pretty cool stuff with quite some innovative design prints.

It’s finally out. After months and months of waiting, Revoltech has finally announced an official date for the Laevatein’s release! 15 August!!! You can check out the details at Amiami.
Never have I wanted an action figure so badly, but this is the FREAKING ARX-8, so I suppose I can!

These Gurren Lagann chibi sized FIGUMATE trading figurines are uber cool.
In conjunction with the Gurren Lagann movie that’s scheduled to be released in September, 4 character plushies will be released.
I’ve never really heard of a figurine company named Aoshima until I saw this.
I asked around and soon learned from Shiawasekun that Aoshima was acutally dealing mostly in the car model industry, and the Haruhi itasha model was actually done by them.
It seems like it’s going to be released in December 2008, or at least it’s stated to be so by this source.

For my past few trips in Japan, I’ve noted a Japanese habit each time I enter a bookstore or stroll past the convenience store’s reading material section. It seems that browsing through reading materials free of charge, followed by placing them back on the shelves instead of buying them is a national habit. That being said, I’m in no way against that habit. In fact, I would very much like to have such a habit too, but the thing that stops me from developing such a habit are the “No browsing” signs all over the magazine sections in local stores.
I’ve digressed too much from the purpose of this post.
Anyway, it seems that the Japanese have brought this habit to the interwebs too. HERE, you can browse through 30 out of 400 pages of the newly released Evangelion 1.0 Complete Work Records that costs more than 10,000 yen.
