And when you think of cute and festive characters, isn’t the first group that springs to mind the cast of Evangelion?
A new line of Chinese zodiac-themed Evangelion merch has been created, sporting the Eva pilot crew of Shinji, Rei, Asuka, Kaworu, and Mari doing a bit of cow cosplay.
Ema are usually found at Shinto shrines in Japan, and writing a wish on one side is supposed to help it come true.
Prices range from 400 yen for the pins (3.90) to 700 yen for the ema.
