It also reveals that the color theme will by a cyanish blue where 2.0 was orange and 1.0 was red.



Also, the page links to the updated Evangelion website that has a similar image of the poster with navigational tabs at the bottom that takes you to info about each of the movies. The 3.0 tab takes you to a page where they announce that on January 18th, their official facebook page was launched. The FINAL tab is white, possibly indicating that the color theme for the final movie, due in 2013, will be white.

Japan’s NTV has a weekend movie slot called “Friday Road Show” (金曜ロードショー) that usually have different animated intro/openings. Here is one featuring the Angels from the new Evangelion movies (and Rei). On August 26, the Friday Road Show broadcasted a TV version of Evangelion 2.0 as well as 1.01 back in 2009.

Here’s the one from July 2009, the 1.01 broadcast’s intro:

Other (non-Evangelion related) openings from the “Friday Road Show”.

GAINAX, 1999 and 2011

The Yaraon blog over at fc2 posted a bunch of pictures of the graffiti on the walls of the old GAINAX office. The above picture of the front of GAIXAX was probably taken from here.


Looks like inside a stairwell

Not all are on walls, also some "Star Driver" there

Ha, poor Yoshika Miyafuji

Game developer Marvelous AQL announced today that it will make a browser-based Evangelion game inspired by the new series of movies. The game’s tentative title is Browser Evangelion Shin Gekijouban but no other information was given, although it’s expected to be free to play. The developer, Marvelous AQL, has only been around for 5 days, forming on October 1st from a merge of media production company Marvelous Entertainment, the game developer AQ Interactive, and the mobile app developer Liveware (thus forming “Marvelous AQL”).

I haven’t downloaded it for my phone but based on screenshots, the majority of the applications seem to be Japanese. The clock and battery widgets look pretty cool though.
