Anime, Otakism and the Rantings of Japanese Popular Culture
The last time I bought a stick poster set, it was the Full Metal Panic stick poster set that had the posters filed up in some sort of album. Before that, it was the Evangelion stick poster set. This time, it looks like I might be getting this Gurren Lagann set too.
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.

Look who’s gracing the DVD cover of the regular version of Evangelion 1.0.
Due to the limited edition being sold out almost everywhere, fanboys and girls who missed out on the limited edition but want a copy of Evangelion 1.0 have no choice but to purchase the regular edition, no matter what the cover is. Hence, there’s no doubt that preorder sales has been excellent for the regular version, with it holding 9th position on Amazon’s DVD sales ranking. Still, much more can be improved.
Here’s how:

Look at the filmstrip that I received in my copy of Evangelion 1.01.
Bah, this is so gay! At least give me Kaworu if I was destined to get a male character >_>
Now I need to rob some poor otaku who is unlucky enough to possess a Rei filmstrip.
The Japanese Otakus have once again proven that they are the Spartans of the consumer world.
I bought my first Region 2 anime DVD back in the start of 2007. 6 Black Lagoon DVDs from Amazon Japan, which were sadly raped by MDA. After that experience, I was rather hesitant to continue expanding my collection by importing more DVDs from Amazon Japan. Also, the costs of Japanese DVDs did not help either. But I still continued anyway. Gurren Lagann was simply too awesome.
Now, this is one hell of an Anime DVD Collection. This belongs to some otaku, NOT me.
This is another one of those non-anime music posts that no one cares about, but I’ll just write on anyway, since I love Bump of Chicken and their music. Their music is really awesome, and they should be given much more attention and love.
Anyway, coming out on 14th May, Orbital Period. Don’t be mistaken by the name as it has the same name as their album released last December. This time, it’s the DVD version containing the latest PVs. I’m looking forward to this, since their PVs have been rather good. Here’s the PV tracklist.
Just 2 more Fridays and the DVD I’ve long awaited will be released. Well, before it actually comes out for sale, let’s take a look and the contents included in Evangelion 1.01.
Before this, only the contents have been revealed, but there were no pictures to show what the contents really looked like. This time however, photos of all the contents have been taken.
It was nightfall by the time we were done with our Byousoku journey, but it was still rather early, since the sky turns dark at around 6pm in Japan. Since Shibuya was just a few stops away, we decided to head over for some photo taking. There was a HMV at Shibuya too, so I was planning to grab a couple of CDs there, as well as help a friend get something he requested.
Remember the upcoming special DVD release of Evangelion 1.0 on the 25th of April? I thought that it was the most complete Evangelion 1.0 DVD out in the market. 2 DVDs, a special illustration box, and a film strip.
Now, Chara-Ani has to screw around with the Evangelion fan that resides within me.
