      I wanna reply sarcastically to the last tweet but I don't wanna be a prick.

      Huge series?
      everyone knows?
      doesn't sound like that would be true...

      Someone already replied "Doubt" to the previous one they said was a sensation on social media or whatever. =/

              Like does Eva really have any other work to its name aside from VIZ manga?

                        It has 3 manga series licensed in English.

                        Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

                          You still have two more J-Novel announcements left to hype up! So you can sit in a corner and wait for them. x)

                            That is true. Hopefully I'll find something I like. Though I already like the cooking with wild game one

                              Blah. Never got into Eva. So out of the 13 announcements, I'm interested in one, maybe two-not sure about Ghostly Things. Pretty typical for me when it comes to Seven Seas' announcements. And I'm 0 for 7 of Yen Press' announcements. Not sure if I'll pick up any of the three light novels JNC announced already until the prepubs are done. I can't wait to see what the last two licenses are; perhaps one will surprise me.

                                Pretty much just "How to Train Your Demon" for me this round.

                                I mean, I'll probably read Sword Reincarnation too, if for no other reason than to keep up with the guys on the podcast.

                                I've got plenty to read for now though (too much to read actually).

                                    So nothing.
                                    I like Eva and all but dunno if I'm interested in alternate ending...

                                    Kinda wondering if the survey even had a point...

                                      13 from Seven Seas
                                      7 from YP
                                      6 from JNC

                                      And the best I got is...3 maybes.
                                      That's...quite disappointing.

                                        Here is a question is anyone out there genuinely happy about the Eva LN?

                                        I am not being snippy or anything just really curious seems like a lot of hate.

                                        I haven’t ever watched or read anything from the Eva franchise and don’t know anything about the stories so I am happy to read something brand new to me, but I can’t say I am genuinely excited they picked Eva over the many other things I wanna read.

                                        Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

                                            Justus always wants more Mecha. x)

                                            Podcast spoiler:

                                            spoiler

                                            I want more Mecha too, I just think I prefer something original, not an adaptation of something we can already participate with in English, even if there's some diverging (it says a different ending is the major change, so how much of the novel does this new material take up? Or is it the whole series that is an alternate telling of the ending, so you have to watch the show first? Is it just the final few pages of the last volume?).

                                            You know what would be cool that has mechs? Xenogears Perfect Works. If that got licensed, I'd finally play the game. Of course... That's not original either, but it does provide closure to what was a cancelled series with I think info about where it would have gone? xS
