Rei, Asuka VAs Confirmed, Angel-Themed Villain Revealed for Shinkalion's Giant Eva Episode

posted on by Lynzee Loveridge

The kids' Kotono Mitsuishi.

Shinkalion's giant Eva cross-over episode so far includes Shinji Ikari (voiced by Gainax's ultra-popular mecha series.

Unit-01, reimagined as a transforming mecha Neon Genesis Evangelion's "yurushito" (lit. weak angel) mascot character, Sachiel.

The character has been the subject of cutesy merchandise in the past to capitalize on simplistic appeal. King Shitoel, on the other hand, looks far more menacing.

The Shinkalion anime series premiered in Japan on January 6. The anime may just be fulfilling its self-titled destiny. The title "Shinkalion" written in katakana is "シンカリオン" while Evangelion is "エヴァンゲリオン". Despite different pronunciations in English, both share "lion" in the title. Shinkalion could simply be a portmanteau "shinkansen" and "Evangelion."
