Evangelion Chronicle

All 30 issues of Chronicle

Evangelion Chronicle is a roughly 960-page encyclopedic publication on Neon Genesis Evangelion published by Sony Magazines with the endorsement of Gainax and Khara. Its contents are distributed across thirty serial, magazine-like issues that began publication on 07/01/2006 and completed on 09/15/2007.

The thirty issues are intended to be collected and their contents reassembled into three binders. Each issue is bound with weak glue to facilitate easy removal of the pre-hole-punched leaves. All of the pages are fully labeled, so organizing them into the proper encyclopedic format is an entirely intuitive process, however time-consuming. Additional money may be spent on purchasing official Evangelion Chronicle binders (listed at 1,600円 apiece and sporting a Yoshiyuki Sadamoto illustration of Rei), although any three quality 4-cm, D-ring binders should suffice.

Chronicle has relatively little information that is strictly new, although it is a bountiful and in many ways indispensable resource for the hard-core Eva fan. As Evangelion Chronicle is an officially endorsed supplementary source, its contents are considered third-tier canon. Unfortunately, it is all in Moon-runes Japanese, and translations are elusive things.

In addition to the primary encyclopedia, The Essential Evangelion Chronicle Side A (10/25/2007) and Side B (11/26/2007) have been published. These seem to be "digest" volumes with no unique content apart from the cover art, although further confirmation is required.

Contents

Summaries of the specific information contained within each sheet ("Content Details") will be gradually furnished. The names of the sheets in both Japanese and English (as provided by Chronicle) are supplied, with literal title translations occasionally supplied in parentheses. Note that Chronicle, in its English language titles, includes some "non-standard" Romanizations, spellings, and translations.
