Eva History
Back in the day, I received a VHS copy of Go Nagai's Black Lion for my sixteenth birthday. And on that tape was a preview for Evangelion featuring Beethoven's ninth symphony, and a rapid succession of the series' action sequences. Thinking the show was full of action, it conned me into buying the show on thirteen VHS tapes at $25 each. To this day I don't really know why I made such a commitment, but in the end it paid off as the ending had a strong emotional resonance with the person I was at the time. It helped me work through a number of my internal issues, and for that, I have a fond place in my heart for the show.
A lousy first year college experience led me to tinker with web design, and over the 2002 summer, I began working on an Evangelion website (Eva Monkey) which was formally launched in January 2003. I began the site in the hope of creating a unified resource for fans of the show, to squash out confusions and help fellow fans find their answers. I never truly achieved that goal, but I had a good run informing the community, and sharing my love of Evangelion with other fans, many of whom had a similarly intimate fondness for the show.
