Stranja debuted at #14 and stays there to date. I don't know much about the Japanese box office, but it looks like a bit of a flop. Gainax on the other hand blew the dust off some old eva cels and have raked in 13 Million USD thus far. I know it isn't fair to compare this sort of niche-targeted film to the juggernaut that is Eva, but it still seems like total failure. I imagine it will do well on DVD though. Does anyone know how the reviews have been?
