It might be closing in on its 30th anniversary, but Neon Genesis Evangelion is an enduring anime franchise that has expanded well beyond the confines of analogue TVs. For Amazon Prime Day Round 2, Evangelion fans can grab a bunch of terrific deals on Blu-rays of the classic anime series, its recent animated feature film remakes, and even some of the stylish PC gaming hardware that Asus released.

Starting off with Evangelion: Thrice Upon a Time, this new release is available in both a 4K UHD and regular Blu-ray format. The final chapter in the Rebuild of Evangelion project that began in 2007, this conclusion to the saga comes with some great extras in its limited-edition release. It packs in a 4K UHD disc and two Blu-ray discs, a 28-page book, a 16.5″ x 11.7″ poster, and five art cards, while the 1080p edition has two Blu-ray discs with both the English and Japanese language versions of the movie for fans to enjoy. As for on-disc extras, you can load up messages from the staff who worked on the film, promotional reels, TV spots, and trailers after the end credits roll on the main feature.

The Asus EVA motherboard is a solid purchase at its reduced price.

For PC gamers, the Asus and Neon Genesis Evangelion collaboration has produced one of the coolest-looking PCs in recent years. While the full Asus Evangelion rig will cost you several thousand dollars for the themed motherboard, Nvidia GeForce 4090 GPU, PC case, motherboard, and monitor--available in either EVA 01 or EVA 02 color schemes--we have highlighted some of the more affordable options above, like the slick EVA headset and mouse.

The Asus ROG Keris mouse is rather nice, as the purple and black shell has EVA 01 green accents, and internally, it has a high-performance 16,000dpi optical sensor and 1,000Hz polling rate. We have included the Asus Evangelion motherboard as well--it has dropped from $650 to $450--which combines the anime aesthetics of the show with a layout that offers some extreme power and performance options.

Lastly, you can strut your love for Evangelion with some stylish messenger bags and fanny packs. For more of Japan's excellent animation, don't forget to check out GameSpot's roundup of the best Prime Day manga and anime deals.
