Super Terrific Japanese Thing: Evangelion Chopsticks
 |
?Oh. My. God. These are chopsticks made to look (somewhat) like the entry plugs that the screwed-up kids of Evangelion use to pilots their EVA pilots. Each set has one tiny little emotionally fucked-up teenage giant robot pilot inside them. If you can’t tell, they come in Rei, Shinji, Asuka and Mari (that new character from the new movies) versions, and cost a whopping $37 each at Japan Trends Shop. I MUST HAVE THEM. I can’t even imagine how much better Japanese food would taste when you get to pretend your chopstick is crying “I mustn’t run away!” over and over again.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
