Even the most devout of Evangelion fans are feeling jaded about the official NERV Taimeshi Bento currently being hawked in limited edition form by anime store chain Animate for the princely sum of $15.
For those wondering, Taimeshi is simply rice with minced sea bream, and usually sells for ¥400 or so in large bento format, a far cry from the ¥1300 price NERV rations evidently command. The bento box itself is made out of high quality plastic and also comes with some NERV wooden chopsticks – the height of luxury for otaku diners.

such simple bento box. i think i can make my own one at cheaper price.
I'm curious, how you eat rice with sticks?

:)
At least you get the high quality plastic box lol!
If you take into account that the bento box is included then it might justify the price. It's sad that the design of the box is very minimalist. Damn! That's a lot of rice! I can eat only half of that and be full already.
GODDAMMIT GENDO
Why they still use the old nerv logo?
because the new one is ugly
If the boxes are sturdy, durable and of good quality, then hell yeah I'd buy two of those babies.
It seems this meal has reached the instrumentality.
"I ate trash yesterday and it didn't cost me $15"
Oh the NERV of them! :(
What a piece of crap.
Japan has the most insipid cuisine in the world.
I should just sell dog turds on a platter with a NERV flag sticking out for 15 bucks.
Stupid otakus are the easiest market to sell to.
This overpriced meal doesn't even come with a drink, but I'm sure buyers already have their own...you know, that drink that comes with a piss cup! O_o'
Correction, they'll already have Asuka and Rei's juices instead. http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/04/04/suck-down-asuka-reis-sweet-juices/
EVA otaku will still buy an overpriced NERV bento, whether they want the food or not.
Eh. I'd pay $15 for the bento box. Then again, I could silkscreen a NERV logo on anything I wanted... So probably not.
I'll sell you a fig leaf with the NERV logo for $25. I also have NERV labeled apples that I'm selling for $10 each, best part the apples are edible.
15 bucks for a box of rice. Brilliant! What else can we sell to mindless otaku? Oh, I know. How about bottled water!
"15 bucks for a box of rice. Brilliant!"
I bet the French said it was a good idea. They should try selling them to American otaku too. Weeaboos would love them if they were told the bentos were imported directly from Japan.
Neat
Needs more vitamins.
lol a minimalist's perfect meal
it looks like sand
I see what you did there.
XD oh god XD your joke is so lame its good >:D GG
You could say they have to have a lot of NERV to charge so much for so little :P
i think it's spelled NEET.. rich NEETs to be exact
It's called rice. Welcome to Japan.
The Takuan reminds me of Mugi...
It definitely should have made different boxes, each based on one different girl. And then make the contents look "handmade". I bet they could sell it for over ¥3000 and Otaku would be happy anyway.
I want my money back
i'm w Zyst
Maybe its reflects Shinji's personality; being plain and boring.
Haha. Agreed!
To really reflect Shinji it should be just plain white rice. ^_^
True, but I did hear he grew a pair of balls in Eva 2.22, compared to the "series" counterpart, which is really plain white rice.
I wonder if anyone would buy 4 copies of this for the usual reasons...
Well the one for keeping would smell really funky after some time...
And people will still buy it, overpriced as it is.
I still say it's worth a single buy at least. I'd totally do it just for the box.
Anybody who buys a second one is an idiot.
Anyone who don't buy second or third are obviously schizophrenic. Buy more to prove you're not!
But what if I wanted two boxes? Two is better than one.
But three's a crowd.
LOL reminds me of Konata "You always need three one to use one to preserve, and one to spread the gospel"
And another one in reserve, in case you accidentally break one of your three boxes.
One is to eat and the other is to display.
What about one for spreading the word?
When I'm really hungry all rationality goes out the window.
