Even after the Earth, the Moon, and even the Sun have disappeared, Evangelion fandom will remain...


Welcome to the Neon Genesis Evangelion Fan-Geeks Project

For the fans, by the fans, this site is devoted to -- you guessed it! -- Evangelion in all its incarnations. The focus is on the original anime, Neon Genesis Evangelion, which has maintained a loyal base of devotees and continued to attract new fans since it originally debuted back in 1996. The "New Theatrical Version" movies currently being produced are, naturally, of great interest as well, keeping the fans waiting with baited breath to see just what surprises Hideaki Anno and his Studio Khara will unleash on us next.

In these dark times, on an Internet where devoted Evangelion sites and fora are becoming increasingly sparse, EvaGeeks is intended to be an enduring sanctuary for the English-speaking fandom. In addition to an active forum and news page, we play host to an expanding collection of local content, much of it original, which you shall find below. EvaGeeks is, officially, the new incarnation of the Evangelion Commentary Project website, although, years later, much content still remains to be transferred over... (Heh.)

Local Stuff

Devoted to various other subsets of local content. Everything is a bit on the messy side, sometimes embarrassingly so. ^_^; We're always looking for fellow fans eager to help iron out all the gaps and kinks.

To be an extensive collection of articles on everything you can shake a can of Yebichu at. Please excuse the mess.
Not quite "encyclopedic", these are devoted entirely to ... well, guess. The section still needs to find its feet.
Compilations of various information, oftentimes informal and overly pedantic. Proceed with CAUNTION.
Translations of "official materials", statements from NGE staff, stuff of that ilk.
Everything else.
For discussion of (almost!) everything Evangelion, and serves as an open venue for local projects in addition. A direct continuation of the forum once hosted at EvaMonkey.com. It also contains an archive of selected threads that have since been purged from AnimeNation's Evangelion subforum.

Commentary

Originally launched by Reichu and various other at AnimeNation years ago. Only four episodes, the OP, and the ED were tackled before the project, rather sadly, went into limbo. In the time since, there have been many queries and concerns about the future of the commentary. Reichu is well known as a procrastinator of super-Sadamoto proportions, and no one else has stepped up to take her place as leader, so, pending a miraculous turn of events...... Well, here are the pages that currently exist:

Meta

Volunteers are free to recommend themselves. Probably the best way to do this is to get an account at the forum (which is a requisite to be an editor anyway) and post in an appropriate thread here. This way, you won't have to deal with Reichu's typical flakiness, and there is a good chance that one of sysops will notice you. But, please, do not "volunteer" if you have no intention of actually contributing anything to the site aside from a user page. That's just lame.

Here are Some Pages You Should Know About (some needing work badly):

About This Site | Standards & Conventions | Rules & Regulations | Volunteer Opportunities | Boot Camp for Newcomers

Also, some external links that will help Scribe-Minions on their arduous journeys. These really shouldn't be on the main page, but things being the mess they are...
