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[1]. Unfortunately, it is all in Moon-runes Japanese, and translations are elusive things.
The publication has a dedicated team of illustrators, all of whom seem to be working on Evangelion for the first time. Hirofumi Ichikawa and Youichi Fukano (M.I.C.) are dedicated to the Mechanical Sheets and Character Sheets, respectively. Takuya Io contributes a majority of illustrations to other sections. Other contributors include Syuji Imai, Kakuhiko Kakoi, Tomotake Kinoshita, kmyu, Naochika Morishita, Kaito Oomoto, SHISHIZARU, K2 Shoukai, Yoshihiro Takahashi, and Tayuki Yanase.
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. Both these volumes and the individual issues are now out of print, and the official website was discontinued during Spring 2008 or earlier.
Contents
The following provides (or will provide, at least, upon acquisition of issues 29 and 30, GIVE REICHU YOUR MONEY) a full "table of contents" for Chronicle in its complete, encyclopedic format. Summaries of the specific information contained within the individual sheets ("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's English language titles sometimes include "non-standard" Romanizations, spellings, and translations.

V. Timeline Sheets
Step-by-step "walk-through" of the series, illustrated with screenshots and production images. It calls itself a "chronology," though is inconsistent about shuffling events into actual chronological order. For example, while events from Episode 21 et al. are arranged chronologically (on two sheets of "back story") before the story proper begins, a number of flashbacks, such as Misato scolding Shinji after the Shamshel fight and Eva-00's activation test, maintain their "in-episode placement."

Glossary
40 sheets of key terms, people, places, and so forth, down to minutiae only mentioned or seen on screen once -- even the most hardened veteran may find the listing full of previously unnoticed items. The Glossary includes some extra-canonical items like video game characters and Eva weapons, as well. Illustrated with captioned screenshots.

However, Gainax does not appear to be directly involved in the writing, editing or publishing. Of course the source material comes from Gainax and I am sure that they have a lot of input, but the magazine itself is authored by TRAP, edited by Wave Inc. and Meglomania Inc., published by Wave Inc., and distributed by Sony Magazines. So again, Gainax's involvement is that of "Overall Supervision" like with the RCB."
