So it makes sense that as of this week, Japan has talking Evangelion ATMs.
On January 25, Misato hands off ATM duties to Evangelion Unit-02 pilot Asuka (Yuko Miyamura), and, protagonist Shinji’s stint starts on February 1 and runs until February 14.
One of the great ironies is that back in the beginning, Evangelion had trouble working out merchandising deals.
The really special part, though, is that the ATMs also talk with one of three iconic Eva voices.
