Fans and Pros Respond to Evangelion Seiyū's Tweet About Series' Timeline

One of the hashtags includes the date "June 22 2015." It was because of this tag that this Tweet drew lots of attention from fans both Japan-based and internationally, claiming that Ogata officially dated the first episode—"Angel Attack"— as being set on June 22, 2015. There had been no indication as to when precisely the episode took place other than in the year 2015.

However, King Records—the general distributor of Evangelion music—released a statement via a phone interview with Huffington Post that June 22 is not the official date that the episode takes place. King Records stated that "[Ogata-san's] remark was simply an unofficial liberty she took as a performer."

Megabots, Inc challenges Suidobashi Heavy Industry (creator of Kuratas) to a giant robot duel

Update: The man who designed Kuratas posted this on his blog. Translation from here

"Leave it to the Americans to do this!
Putting the challenge stuff aside, I have one thing to say.
What are you doing, Japan?
The way this thing is supposed to work is, the giant robots of Japan battle each other, and the top contender goes and takes on America.
I've been waiting 4 years since making the Kuratas, but you've all been dragging your feet, so it's come to this. I'm really frustrated.
I'm going to think this over. Just you wait, MegaBots!"

Sunrise has a teaser site up for the next Gundam series that goes live for real in 9 days. Right now it's just a silhouetted image, though maybe by the time this gets read there will be more news.

By the way I have just one request, if this gets read live Neo has to be the one to read out my username.

Slight observation, if the Gundam cycle follows maybe Tomino won't have to wait 10 more years for people to appreciate G-Reco.
