![]() ![]() “In EoE, how did it feel to masturbate over Asuka?” Um, uh, er, weeell. So, the obvious answer at the time, was “well, duh.” ![]() As long as you are not, at that moment being an idiot, the sting is minimal. “What are you, an idiot?!?” will be hurled at you from time to time. For me, I’m not confirming nor denying that, back in the day, there may or may not have been a direct correlation between how well stocked in the adult beverage department the green rooms at cons were to the amount of screams I gave to fans. I believe it is not actually even in the show. By people who think it is the first time you have heard it, and they will think it is hilaaaarious! It will tend to get old. ![]() You will be told to “Get in the Robot!” incessantly. So, here is what to expect, and a couple tips for dealing with the Evangelion juggernaut that you have inherited. Congratulations on jumping into the deep end of the pool. Needless to say, Evangelion can be life changing. Iiiiiiiirony.Īnd if you’ve met my amazing wife, Kimberly Spencer at one of my panels, you know I gots the goods. So, yes, among other things, Shinji is a dating coach. Thanks, in no small part to Shinji, I was able to utilize my fame to not only appear at cons worldwide, but to create and present a self improvement program, aimed at strengthening men to be better, called “Don’t Kill Your Date (and Other Cooking Tips).”(It’s Foodie, it’s fun, and it has helped many men and women improve their communication and confidence and relationships. Oh yeah, and talking in a bunch of silly voices. My own journey while Shinji was quite dramatic - divorce, bankruptcy, losing literally everything I knew and loved, narrowly side-stepping suicide, moving to LA (knowing only 4 people), rebuilding, finding I had a tidbit of notoriety in Anime, traveling the world, partying my ass off, then undergoing massive transformative self-improvement, finding my true love, having a baby boy, authoring several books, and rebuilding my real estate and coaching businesses. ![]() At first I had no idea of what Anime was and how serious people took it. To be honest, I have not always taken this seriously. Many of them thanked me profusely for the raw and real, vulnerable character that captured, and gave voice, to their own inner turmoil that encapsulated how they felt in their own lives. Over the years, I have been sent numerous emails, posts, and had many people profess to me at cons around the world, how Shinji’s struggles and triumphs helped them in their own lives. I mean, ugly crying, being on fire, battling evil angels, and screaming bloody murder is cathartic after all, right? What started out as just another acting job, for me, turned into something massive, transformative, and therapeutic. There is literally “healing power” in this show. It is far more than just an Anime series. There is a special place in the hearts of many for Evangelion. In particular, I wish to congratulate Casey Mongillo, who has taken up the mantle of portraying Shinji.Īs the English voice of Shinji for about 25 years, through the original series, and 6 sequential movies, I have had the privilege, the honor, and the responsibility to drive the character through all kinds of craziness, brought to us through the wild and amazing mind of Anno. I for one, wish to congratulate every new voice actor who has taken up the mantle of Evangelion. The masses will decide as to the quality of the work done by the new cast and crew. The new Netflix dub of Evangelion is upon us! ![]()
