This is something that sort of slipped past the radar, but March 27 was the 25th anniversary of Episode 26 airing. It's now been 25 years since everyone congratulated Shinji, since AU Rei came running to school with a piece of toast in her mouth, and so much other memetic weirdness was born...not to mention 25 years of a hugely influential media franchise within Japan.

So, to all the children, congratulations! And don't turn into tang!

For those of you who were around at the dawn of Evangelion fandom, how does it feel? I came to this site on 2007 but first heard of Evangelion sometime around 2005, at around the 10th anniversary of the series's original airing.

I came into the fandom right when Jo was getting its English DVD release by Funimation in 2009, and when Ha was just dropping in Japan. I'm glad that I was able to be around to see two new movies come out, and to actually go see one of them in person in Japan! Fortunately, I managed to catch screenings of Jo and Ha in the US (no Q, though.)

I intended to have a weekly rewatch for the 25th anniversary since October using the Archives DVDs and watch it in realtime but slipped up and am marathoning it since a week ago. First watched in 2004-2005.

Fandom entry I guess would have been around then on the AnimeNation(?) Eva board before everyone transitioned here?
