Drink Up The Evangelion Maids!

12:40AM Brian Ashcraft | How can Neon Genesis Evangelion coffee be improved? You guessed it, maids! Japanese beverage company UCC first released an Evangelion coffee way back in 1997 and did a follow-up last year.

These cans will only be sold at pachinko parlors (and probably only at pachinko parlors with Evangelion pachinko machines). Branding at it’s best — or worse, depending on how you look at it. Just take it as proof that, yes, maids really do make everything better. UCC Coffee [Techinsight Japan via Anime News Network] More »
