I paid a visit last night to the Eva exhibit at the Matsuya Ginza store - highly recommended if you're an Eva fan in Tokyo. What really strikes me is just how much this show continues to have a direct IV drip into the consciousness of the public. Place was packed on a Wednesday night (the rest of the store was a ghost town) with tourists, locals, kids, teens, adults... Eva is a unique cultural phenomenon that no amount of commercial whoring and theatrical missteps can unmake.
