Let's make a couple of assumptions about Misato and NERV in general: 1) NERV is perfectly aware that Misato was the last survivor of the Katsuragi Expedition. By extension NERV would also be aware that Misato's primary motivation would be revenge for her father and everyone else killed i...

New artwork for The Blue Rose, this time from story #2:

The Boyfriend of Steel website has been upgraded and cleaned up a bit, now with all three parts of The Blue Rose.

I'm still hosting stories at FFN but the stories posted here have graphics too, including some of the original art we've done for the story.

They're directly merging EoE with Q. That reflection in the lake with Shinji just spells it out.

I always thought that I preferred the manga, as I just felt the pacing of the story was done a little better than the original series, and while I like NME I feel that they're too rushed. I've always preferred that EVA be re-done as a TV series and expanded in length to a 36-40 episode serie...

The last chapters of the third Blue Rose story, the Awakening , were posted to FFN earlier this week. The Blue Rose series is now complete. This is the result of what turned into a 10-year process from concept to final chapter, comprising three fanfic novels and the vast majority of my spare time in...

After seeing the scans and what is a very rough translation, I did wonder about one aspect of this: Is it possible that "Mari Makinami" is not actually the Mari we know from NME but instead intended to be that Mari's mother? In the same chapter we have Shinji (and by extension Rei&...

Oh, no. Now there's gonna be EVA/Frozen crossover fanfiction after this...

Just got this and also downloaded a DS emulator to play it on. So far seems to play smoothly, just a little trouble with the audio.

For the name I just wrote in hiragana and it went okay. It's a minor nuisance but okay. I'll keep at it and let you know what I think.

I did play with a little of this in the latest Blue Rose story, partly as the storyline lent itself to a little more attention to the character’s appearances and that includes hairstyles. This included a time-skip of about one year in the last chapter so that required working out how the characters ...

I always got the impression that back in the day GAINAX was considered the "Otaku's studio," given as so much of the works put out pre-EVA by GAINAX were otaku-friendly and loaded with not only subtle and not-so-subtle references to other anime and sci-fi works, but also because GAINAX...

Finally, the NERV Bible!

Just kidding! It's an address book for 2015

There's now a Facebook page for the Blue Rose fanfiction works:

Story #3 (The Awakening) is about 80% complete, so the series should be finished by this year.

I remember a friend of mine saying that the Tracksuit is something of a joke for the Japanese, usually in reference to the rather tacky styles of Japanese living in rural or less developed (meaning not Tokyo) areas. If you ever saw the film Kamakaze Girls , there's a joke about Amagaski,...

I think Reichu's analysis is pretty insightful. Rei Ayanam's inner struggle is a matter of identity and who gets to define who and what she is. While this is true in some way for most of the characters in EVA, her inner conflict with her identity is complicated by not only the heavy "te...

Another artwork in the Blue Rose series. This is Mari from story #2, in the Australian Outback.

Another image from my favorite commission artist

Outback Mari

Oh, Goodness that's Mari! No doubt about it!

I read a translation of that Italian web site about this. It looks like this new manga is not even remotely serious, especially when you see the expression on Gendo's face.

He looks like he needs to eat something.
