If anyof you have ever read the editorals you would remeber the coment of de-becoming a anime fan if they saw Neon Genesis Evangelion at Wal-Mart:
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/search-ng.gsp?search_constraint=0&search_query=neon+genesis+evangelion

though its the site im sure its in one somewhere

The end is near

Ono!!!!

I will trade in my official "anime fandom" card, and watch and read only obscure Bangledeshi cartoons and comics!

Additionally, I will become a communist!

Psh. "The end?" Please; this is the future, son. And it is bright.

.....so...is there anything specific I should be looking for here, or is this just some pointless whining & crying episode because "oh no, anime's at Wal-Mart so the world's gonna end!" thing?

Whatever. Though...that "unofficial guide" to Evangelion looks pretty lame. Wink

Yeah I don't think Wal-Mart carrying anime is a forteller of anything, they've carried a scattered selection for years now.

I'm assuming that the purpose of this thread was to be like, "oh no anime is gaining a more accepted status as a form of popular entertainment. We don't want any outsiders!"

Well shucks howdy, thats rather foolish (assuming of course that my previous assumption was correct)

Yeah...the front cover for the guide looks like something out of Gundam, not Evangelion... Confused

Not exactly. The cover just looks extremely cheap, and I tend to look at any "definitive Evangelion guides" with a significant amount of skepticism.

Meh...I don't care much for the guide. There's nothing to get excited about, but I think it's good Walmart is selling more titles. The Eva movies for $20...not bad. *been meaning to pick up the re-released movies for a long time*

I feel very sorry for any person who unknowingly picks off one of those dvds off the shelf, and watches it. The movie with knowledge of the series is a doosy enough.

Now if only walmart would get boxsets of series...
