Anime, Otakism and the Rantings And Ravings of Japanese Popular Culture
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.
Since I’m a guy, and a nerdy geekish one to begin with, I was never interested in dressing myself up. That means no accessories, t-shirt (Read : COSPA)/shirt and jeans/three-quarter pants as my common dressing and no styling of hair. I don’t have really have any reason to dress up anyway.
As a result of me not having the habit to dress up, I also grew to dislike accessories. I can’t understand why people wear all the fanciful rings and whatnot.
However, this dislike of mine changes when it comes to anime I like/love. I’m just another of those fans waiting to be milked by the license holders of his/her favourite anime.
This coming Spring (April), a bunch of Evangelion accessories are scheduled for release. It looks like my wallet’s hole is further ripping apart.
The title says it all. Hooray for Evangelion!

Damn, here I am, waiting and hoping for the second movie to be announced, and more Evangelion 1.0 stuff gets released instead. I believe it’s time to move on from Evangelion 1.0 to Evangelion 2.0 already? Not that I’m complaining.
More Eva fanboy/fangirl milking coming right up after the break. Wallets, prepare.

Or so I think. Gainax has released an uncountable ton of Evangelion artbooks, but none of them can beat the upcoming release, ヱヴァンゲリヲン新劇場版：序 全記録全集, which roughly translates to Evangelion 1.0 Complete Work Records. Even the total cost Groundwork of Evangelion Movie #1 and #2 which sums up to be 7,000 yen pales in comparison.

I just came back from my first examination paper which I screwed up pretty badly. Just when I felt that the whole of today was ruined, a piece of news made my day much better. At least I’m smiling now. Screwing up and not getting an A does not feel as depressing now.
A Rei a day, to cheer me and any other people who are feeling down up

If you have been browsing the various torrent sites, you would have seen the torrent of Evangelion 1.0 (You Are Not Alone). The movie has been leaked on Stage6 too. Apparently, it’s a video camera recording of the movie. It is suspected that the one behind this is an insider.
Just like many other anime movies, the Evangelion movie’s leak was no surprise. Past movies which have been leaked before the official DVD release include Tales of Earthsea and Cowboy Bebop : Knocking on Heaven’s Door. As long as there is the Internet, such leaks will be unpreventable. Even though Japan has an extremely strict law on video recording in cinemas, such incidents still occur.

Mentioned in the previous post,I managed to catch the Evangelion Movie in a cinema near Disneyland.
It was my first time in a Japanese cinema, so I was pretty excited.
The cinema was not as great as I expected though… Singapore’s ones are better.
Let me tell you why. Continue reading ‘Japan’s Cinemas’
