A few months back I posted my review of the theatrical release of Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone. As you might recall, I was less than enthused with what I saw. Still, I thought it might be good to go back and revisit the original series, and see exactly how the story was originally presented, and thus, what, if anything, was particularly novel about 1.0’s re-visitation (Note: Yes, the DVD is called Evangelion 1.01, but for convenience’s sake, I’ll just continue with 1.0). The first thing that became apparent in ...

A new Evangelion manga spinoff series is being serialised in the Japanese shōjo magazine Asuka. The series is titled Neon Genesis Evangelion: Shinji Ikari’s Detective Journal and puts Shinji in the role of the “detective”; or perhaps it’s something more akin to Encyclopedia Brown, only with Tokyo-3’s most clueless resident in the lead role. Links: Asuka [...]

The battle continues at NERV HQ.Farewell.List of highlights:- Asuka destroys a few more mass-produced Evas as the battery to Unit 02 runs down.- Misato kills herself and a few enemy soldiers with a grenade.- Shinji arrives at Unit 01's chamber but he can't climb into the Eva because of sludge/mud blocking his way. Shinji begs Unit 01 (addressing it as his mother) to move, and miraculously Unit 01 swings its arm out to provide a path for Shinji, and in the process the Eva kills a couple of enemy soldiers.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~As with most if not all of the previous chapters, I couldn't find any major deviations from the End of Evangelion movie. There are some details that I don't remember seeing, such as Misato killing herself with a grenade and Shinji getting Unit 01 to move by calling out to his mother, but that's probably because I don't remember much from EoE. A couple of commenters mentioned that the manga will probably have the same ending as EoE, which could very well be the case, but I'm hoping for something different. Otherwise, what would be the point of dragging this manga out more than a decade after the film was released just so that the manga can come to the exact same conclusion? (other than people trying to milk the series for all its worth lol)

Evangelion: 1.0 is the high-profile reboot of the immensely-grossing franchise Neon Genesis Evangelion. It is not the alternate retelling of the story; rather, it's the remastered collection of the first six episodes of the original series. It's not groundbreaking but the marvellous animation, great music and nostalgia is more than enough to entertain the viewers, NGE fan or not.

 I suspect the magazine looks like this, but with more swimsuit pictures Reminding me that obsessive, over analytical fans are a market, Japan has relaunched a magazine entirely devoted to our love of Evangelion. Evangelion Chronicle is actually a relaunch of a previous periodical, and will have 40 weekly issues devoted to plots, timelines, and all of those nitty gritty things that fuels my personal fan fictions.  Granted, this just teases us. What we really want is that sticky, sweet, Evangelion 2.0. Okay, okay, what we really want is a time traveler to come back in time with Blu-Ray copies of Evangelion 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0, but that's just silly.

Asuka battles the mass-production Evas while Misato brings Shinji to the elevator to Unit 01.The last kiss Shinji will ever get...?Summary:Inside NERV headquarters, Misato crashes her bullet-hole-ridden car into a wall near Unit 01's elevator. Before leaving the vehicle with Shinji, Misato phones Asuka in Unit 02 and tells Asuka to destroy every single mass-production EVA. With 3.5 minute of battery life left, Asuka springs into action and rips apart one of the enemy EVAs.Back inside the base, Misato brings Shinji to a doorway leading to the elevator but they are fired at by government troops. Misato is hit but manages to get herself and Shinji through the doorway and lock the door. Now in front of the elevator, Shinji starts doubting himself again, but Misato manages to shut him up by giving him her necklace and kissing him on the lips. Just as the government soldiers are about to breach the locked door, Misato shoves Shinji into the elevator and shuts the elevator doors.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I don't remember that Misato had to drive Shinji in her car to Unit 01, but otherwise the manga story continues to fall in line the End of Evangelion scenario. It's looking more and more likely that this manga version is just going to finish with the EoE ending with slight differences. Not much else to say at this point. The next couple of chapters will probably be on Asuka's battle against the mass production units. Let see if Asuka and Unit 02 will suffer a similar fate to what they experienced in the movie.
