If you love Evangelion, Sharp and 7-11 are seriously hooking you up! Starting November 2, 2015 you can go to your local 7-11 and fill out an application so you can reserve one—and it only gets better from there! There will be approximately 30,000 units shipped and sold beginning in December with 5,000, and the rest shipping the following April. The phone, seen below, will feature a ombre purple to green case with Unit 01 on the back and orange volume and power buttons.

The Neogenis Evangelion smart phone can be all yours for 84,240 yen, or $703.

The phone will feature a rather hefty price point, which if you’re a true fan, shouldn’t be a problem. Originally, the phone was projected to cost 78,000 yen (US $651), but the price has risen to 84,240 yen (US $703). Fans will also receive orange power and volume buttons on the unit as well. Not only that, you will also get a whole year worth of different Neogenis Evangelion wallpapers (art pieces) for your Evangelion smart phone. In other words, you will get over 365 different wallpapers to sort through, unless you put them on shuffle. Character voices, including Asuka and Rei, were also added. Many of the features that debuted in the ad were ones selected by fans in the phone design questionnaire (which Sharp created prior to its debut).

The Neon Genesis Evangelion anime aired between October 4, 1995 t o March 27, 1996. And there were 26 episodes made in total.

There’s a small catch to all this Evangelion mania, however. You must live in Japan to take advantage of this offer, or wait until someone posts it to import it. Nevertheless, if you have a friend who lives in Japan, this shouldn’t be a problem at all.
