This Shinkalion x Evangelion crossover is the only show where we see Hikari's siblings, and the whole thing is super adorable and positive? If I were a train kid this show would probably feel very validating. Like, you get to have your hobby respected by the Eva kids, who tell you you should be able to talk about what you like.

(If you're not a train kid, it also has mecha battles. No, the whole show really does have mecha battles between the trains.)

It's certainly not deep or anything, about as deep as Pokemon, but it's comforting in the same way that Pokemon is. I realised partway through that it's not just random shilling for Eva, there's a good reason to have them in the show: they're all named after Shinkansen trains. So it's an oddly natural crossover.

Crossovers are weird, right?

So, back in 2014, there was a small crossover between Transformers and Neon Genesis Evangelion that was headlined by an Optimus Prime decked out in the colors of the Evangelion Unit-01. This release was supplemented by a four-part prose story where Starscream apparently merges with the Angel Sachiel and Prime, realizing that the EVA has a life-force within it (assumed to be Shinji Ikari), scans the EVA to grow in size to use its power to defeat "Angel"-scream, and NERV thanks him by giving him a trailer/battle station of their own design.

A few years later, in 2018, the anime Transforming Bullet Train Robot Shinkalion had protagonist Hayato Hayasugi travel to a parallel world where NERV collaborated with the Shinkansen Institute to create their own Shinkalion units in place of EVAs, leading to an alternate version of Shinji showing up piloting the Shinkalion 500 TYPE EVA. Shinji would then make a few appearances in the series afterwards, even appearing in the feature film of the anime that also feature an 11-year old pilot named Hatsune Miku and a snow monster assuming the form of f**king Godzilla.

...who, by the way, once existed in the same universe as the Transformers due to both properties being licensed by Marvel Comics back in the day. Oh, and let's not forget to mention the NERV-Made Anti-G Weapon, a version of MechaGodzilla designed by Metal Gear artist Yoji Shinikawa as part of an official collaborative project between NGE and Godzilla. And that's not even counting the 4D film attraction that debuted the Shin Godzilla version of King Ghidorah.

So if Earthspark Season 2 isn't announced by a certain timeframe, when will it be time to start wondering if Paramount wrote it off for taxes? The company is apparently leaning out in preparation for a sale, and all proverbial hands are on deck. The toys are apparently clogging discount retailers much like Cyberverse did before, and while it's connecting with a small subsection of fandom, kids and their parents could not care less.

While odds are Hasbro couldn't have done with Takara did with Shinkalion and have random cameos from characters their parents would have liked, Earthspark's failure may be even more dramatic than originally believed.

I don't see that flying with Hasbro.

very excited for shinji to get into a train robot in the middle of the plot of eva 3+1 in the next super robot wars game

The drama in Shinkalion rn is so fucked up. Idc what Kind Elder Sister Memories say, if my friends immediately blamed me for being unable to attack my most important person that I'd desperately been looking for, not knowing if they were dead or alive, for 2 whole years, I would blow everything up. What the hell

If I had a nickel for every time There is a boy who has an identity issue that pushes them to the dark side only to be saved by a boy who is literal sunshine, I would have two nickels. That's not a lot, but it's funny that it happened twice.

The Roles of “Characters” in Mecha Anime

Sometimes, you’ll see a wild claim about mecha anime, like “Gurren-Lagann was the first giant robot series to be about characters instead of the robots,” and it inevitably results in a backlash—in this case, the counterargument that all giant robot shows are about characters. Whether the initial statement is made in jest or as a genuinely ignorant take by someone with only surface-level knowledge…
