I have a dark, horrible secret. I am a reformed Evangelion fan. And when I say fan, I mean I was administrator of what was one of the largest Evangelion fanfiction websites out there (note: I got fired :P). But that is neither here nor there. Gainax are engaged in a conspiracy against my wallet. And while reading my ANN newsfeed this morning, I have discovered their next sinister plan. To quote, “The Bandai Channel website announced that Petit Eva ~Evangelion@School~, the “first official super-deformed series” based on Neon Genesis Evangelion, will be adapted for video. …The Gainax/Khara franchise spinoff spoofs the psychological science fiction drama by reimagining the characters as classmates in Tokyo-3’s Nerv School, headed by Principal Gendō Ikari and Misato-sensei. The student body includes three different Rei “sisters,” the EVA-01 mobile weapon reimagined as the school bully Evanchō, and the ill-fated Jet Alone robot as JA-ko, a “hidden character” in the form of a shy android girl.”
What we have here is Gainax whoring out their most successful franchise. The general reaction around it has been rage, tears and condescending remarks. Well, you know what? I think this sounds fucking. awesome. It sounds like pure, unadulterated comedy gold. Like a modern, satirical stab at SD Gundam. I definitely will be watching it.
Incidentally, speaking of super-deformed, those assholes at Wave are in on the conspiracy too. Not content to make me buy every single one of those Angel Girl figures that were made available to the mass market, they’re now starting a new series of them with the cuteness dialed up to 11. This is an absolutely disgusting display merchandise whoring. You should be ashamed of yourselves, Wave.
I’ve aready ordered them both. 
I’m a big Evangelion fan as well, although i don’t like the figurine u have there. IMHO Rei shouldn’t be smiling, she’s forever sad!
Anyways, I changed my blog layout, and gave it a new name, so perhaps you can change the name on your link in the sidebar. Thanks!
It’s not Rei, though, it’s Lilith.
Updating the link now, thanks for the heads-up.
ook, lilith.
actually i’m abit confused about the Rei and Lilith part.
But thats basically Rei/Lilith?
I hate the anime’s final two episode. so confusing…
End of Evangelion is easier on the mind for me.
Yeah, these are supposed to be the Angels turned into cute girls. Which is why Kaworu is a girl as well. So the Lilith is essentially Rei with wings. They did a ‘normal’ one a while back, and this new one is super-deformed thus the added cuteness.
Personally I’m on the other side of the fence. I like the first half of End of Evangelion, but hate the second half. My ideal version would involve taking the first half of EoE and sticking it to an edited version of the final two episodes of the TV series.
Sachiel Nano! releases at the same time as Lilith:
The 2nd one is cuter, but I can’t buy it.
I’ll get raised eyebrows.
How did you order them, looking at the site they say they won’t ship internationally which is perplexing at best.
You need to order them from an actual retailer. I buy stuff through HLJ.
very interesting, but I don’t agree with you
