Rainbow Finder  – the 7eleven Anime

Rainbow Chaser will make you smile, shed a tear, and maybe crave a steamed pork bun.

Featuring character concepts by manga artist Karuho Shiina, of Kimi ni Todoke fame, and visual production collaboration from anime studios CoMix Wave Films (Your Name, Weathering with You) and Orange (Land of the Lustrous, Beastars), Rainbow Finder focuses on four teenage friends: track star Hitomi (voiced by Maaya Uchida), her sister Nanami (Haruka Fukuhara), good-natured goofball Akira (Takuya Eguchi), and cool and collected Toru (Natsuki Hanae).

So far, these are the only three episodes of Rainbow Chaser, released at a pace of one a month, that have been produced, but considering how beautiful and emotionally compelling they are, hopefully there’ll be more to come.

SHOWTIME – Andrew Hawryluk

Andrew Hawryluk shared the motion design work done for SHOWTIME is an anime short film set in a dystopian cyberpunk setting and an original IP created by Maciej Kuciara. It is a stylistic homage to some of the most iconic Japanese anime of the 1990’s. I had the pleasure of designing and animating various motion graphic elements throughout the short, including a digital elevator display, a robotic user interface, and the final title card.

Evangelion emergency rations

Ever wonder what everyone who has to evacuate Tokyo-3 while the Evangelions are fighting Angels is eating?

There’s no shortage of sci-fi anime settings that get regularly wrecked whenever the heroes sortie out in their robots to fight for humanity’s survival, but few get wrecked as hard as Evangelion’s Tokyo-3. With the mysterious organization Nerv’s Japanese headquarters keeping the very thing the invading alien Angels want in their basement below the city, extraterrestrial intruders attack the community with alarming frequency, and it’s not like the team of adolescent pilots in often uncooperative mecha ever manage to keep the collateral damage especially low.

So with urban evacuations part of the basic rhythm of life, there must be a lot of emergency rations being handed out to people eating them in shelters while Shinji is out there in his Eva punching Angels, right? And now you can experience such fine dining for yourself with an entire line of Evangelion emergency rations that’s just gone on sale in Japan.

OPPO Ace2 x EVA smartphone

 

The Oppo Ace2 went on sale in China in late April, originally available in three colors. Now Ice Universe has revealed an Evangelion Limited Edition of the phone with some beautiful minimalist decals on the back.

The NERV logo is lifted straight from the show, you can dig through the Fandom wiki for more details. Neon Genesis Evangelion has been around for a long time so there’s a rich backstory. In fact, this phone celebrates the 25th anniversary of the series, which premiered in 1995.

The release of the fourth movie in the “Rebuild of Evangelion” tetralogy has been postponed due to the pandemic, though it’s not clear if that will affect the launch of the limited edition phone. As for price, expect something north of the CNY 4,000 ($565) that the base model costs. How much more is not clear yet.

The Oppo Ace2 remains unchanged below the limited edition exterior. This means the same 6.55” 1080p+ AMOLED with HDR10+ and 90Hz refresh rate, Snapdragon 865 chipset, 48MP main and 8MP ultra wide camera. The fast charging support is perhaps the most impressive part: 65W wired, 40W wireless (the charging pad is sold separately) and 10W reverse wireless, all tapping into the 4,000mAh battery.
