Does anyone have any information about this? I heard about it on 2ch.

I've been meaning to translate some of the info on them (last I looked there was nothing available in English) for a news post, but procrastination... you know how it is... I'll do something in the next couple of days if I'm not totally beaten to it.

Also, are these official?

You're hotlinking and one of the hosts doesn't like it.

The first is from the latest pachinko, The Beginning and the End / The Final Messenger. Discuss here.

The second: stuff on the image makes reference to Angel-XX, but ... yeah, I have no idea. If you could provide "more source" than just a hotlink URL, that could possibly help.

That would be great, Reichu.

Bad habit. My apologies.

If I had decent sauce, I would give it. I know 2ch isn't exactly legit, but I found it on Post 238, here: http://changi.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/gaysaloon/1235716290/

[Lleonard Pler]

Whatever it is, I love the cover.

[Sailor Star Dust]

I remember reading about that SOMEWHERE hearing that it's either a weekly or monthly Eva magazine OR newspaper of sorts. It was either on the Evastore site or ANN.

Sorry for not having the exact source on hand; I once stumbled across it then forgot where the hell I read it.

[Reichu]

This stuff gets around the Japanosphere fast. For starters, check out the official site's blog, Minna no Eva Fan, Mycom Journal, and (presumably) Eva Kinkyuu News. (Links for all of these available through our own news feed.) And there's the whole thing.

[Sailor Star Dust]

So I was searching Evastore the other day and found nothing about this. Rather annoying because I know I stumbled across this somewhere.... Oh well. I'll just wait to hear more news about this thing.

[Lagann]

I think its just a little magazine thats going to be released each month till eva 2.0 is released.

Finally found that link I stumbled across awhile ago. Was on the 2.0 website: http://www.evangelion.co.jp/freepaper.html

Seems like the 2nd issue is based only on the trailer again:

[Gendo'sPapa]

So if that sketch page of Rei is anything to base the plot off should we expect the manga's Shinji and Rei "Tea Scene" to happen in Rebuild?

[DummyPlug]

I hope it does, it's a quick way to do some character interaction and development before it all goes to hell.

[Reichu]

Now that you mention it -- they're panels from a storyboard. (The rest of the sheet is evident on the edges.) I wouldn't assume that it's the same thing that's in the manga, though.

Also:

[Ingraman]

Shinji is crying in that image inside the entry plug.

[Gendo'sPapa]

Haha, maybe Shinji and Rei have the tea scene and it's their big emotional moment. And then Rei takes a cup of tea to Gendo and he's all "No Rei. You know I only drink the tears of crying children"

P.S. Oh my gawd! The Engrish is so Engrish.

[SaltyJoe]

Shinji is crying in that image inside the entry plug.

I think those are tears of physical strain, rather then emotional turmoil. He is looking upwards, is visibly in bodily effort, and the purplish hue... i think holding up Sahaq is just demanding of both him and his Eva.

The only other scene that i can think of where he would get teary eyed inside his Eva with that kind of facial expression is the Zeruel battle (i think i have argued somewhere that the image is actually from the Zer engagement), but now that i think about it, Shinji was wearing his school uniform when going up against Zer. And why would they change that? It was such a great way of pointing out that returning to pilot was a decision made by Shinji, the boy, not an order carried out by the pilot of Eva-01 (God, i'm rambling).

"No Rei. You know I only drink the tears of crying children."

Gendo drinking tears fresh out of the eyes of multiple children while they are still shedding them is quite the image. Someone with actual drawing skills should immortalize it.

[DummyPlug]

It would be funny if Gendo arrives while Shinji's still there and she has to hide him under the bed or something.

[Mr. Tines]

It would be funny if Gendo arrives while Shinji's still there and she has to hide him under the bed or something.

Finally he stopped himself, put down the pen, squared his
shoulders, and asked bluntly, "Rei, are you sexually involved with
[REDACTED]?"
Rei blinked once, slowly, looked curiously at Ikari, and
replied, "No."
The answer was so soon in coming, so direct, and so entirely
not what Ikari was expecting that, for a moment, he was absolutely at
a loss. He simply sat behind his desk and regarded her with something
just to the dignified side of a gape.
"No?" he finally inquired.
"No," Rei replied.
"Are you certain?" Ikari asked, conscious as he did so of what
an insufferably lame question it was.
"I suspect I'd remember," Rei replied, her face perfectly
straight. Then, after a moment, she tipped her head a millimeter to
the left and asked calmly, "Should I be?"

"The Final Decision We All Must Make."

Crackpot theory: Instrumentality is going to happen REALLY early.
