This is where I have to say people are reading too much into it. I get the impression that the hand was added for effect without much thought into it. I doubt they expected people to analyze it, they just wanted to show this creepy giant hand in the background that Shinji was completely oblivious to...

I want that tie bad but I really don't want to pay 150 bucks for it. Maybe it's vintage?

Hobbysearch has it for about 90.

They sent me a reply as well. I haven't had a chance to translate it yet since I'm viewing from my phone. There was a link included though that took me to a website that actually DOES sell and ship to the united states. It's all translated direct from Japanese so the language is a bit of...

Somebody needs to explain why Mari is hot.

Glasses, twin-tails, and thigh high stockings. She is a walking fetish. The only thing she is missing is a tsundere personality.

I don't mean to say I like reshinji more than ngeshinji. Actually, I don't really "like" either iteration since he isn't a very likable guy. He is obviously not your typical main character since he possesses few heroic traits. I do, however, like his character in both versions....

Hah, I actually sent one too saying that I was interested and shipping cost wasn't a concern. I had to use google translator though so who knows how that will work out. I do appreciate your help.

Oh yeah cool. Do you have to have a special JP account to purchase from the jp amazon site? I've never used it before, just the american version.

Edit:

Never mind, I figured it out. It appears they still won't ship outside of Japan even through amazon.

The page on Shipping stated that it does not ship overseas. For address in Japan it must not be a postbox address either and the shipping charge is always 472 yen per piece. Ah man, what a bummer. I wonder why they don't ship overseas? Surely they must know that there is a sizable market in the...

Not that I could tell. It appears that Shinji was going entirely on his emotions. I kind of like the new Shinji. He's a bit of a badass.

Sure. Here is a link to the glasses in the gainax store. They also sell both Mari's and Misato's as well.

It's never really explained in the show. The angels contain S2 engines which give them perpetual power. Even though the Evas are clones of this, they lack the engines and don't seem to have the ability to generate them on their own like the Angels do. I suspect that they may have been manufa...

So I'm really dying to get my hands on a pair of gendo ikari sunglasses. I know the gainax store sells them, but I can't even read the page and I'm not too sure they would ship to the U.S. anyway. Does anybody know a way I can get a legitimate pair?

I've had a bit of experience with figures and fakes before. One of the most common signs is in the paint. Fakes will often have overspray that gets into the eyes or underspray in the joints. Also you should look for miscolored pieces or pieces that are overly shiny which is something you see fro...

He could be saying production as in mass-produced. I have seen a number of other repro cels for saled referred to as "production" cels. He does, however, go on to say that it was used in the making of the series which is obviously not true. If he did somehow manage to get his hands on one ...

There doesn't appear to be any information about EoE cels available anywhere. I can confirm that it is not among the 16 cells that were originally made as reproductions and it's clearly not from the original series anyway. As far as I have been able to find, they never did make reproduction ...

I'm sitting at a computer doing some research now actually. The guy claims he claims he has had the cell for almost 10 years. You are right about Evangelion cels not being released to the general public, that only gainax employees got them. Thing is, I can only confirm that for the Evangelion se...

WOW. I want this thing so bad!

It's the original cell of a dying Rei/Lilith from EoE. It looks absolutely amazing.

I am quite tempted to make a go at a best offer.

To me, the track finally changing to 27 on the player was representative of the changing storyline. It seems like from that point on, the Evangelion universe as we know it will be changing dramatically.

The episode where the power goes out as that spider angel is melting it's way into central dogma and everybody is sweating because it's so hot. Somebody comments that it's amazing how the commanders manage to stay cool and collected even under such harsh conditions and it flips to a pict...

Not a poster question but, does anybody know a good online store or ebay store to get a decent eva wallscroll? I was hoping to not have to wait until otakon to fill a certain bare spot I have.
