Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone is a 2007 Japanese anime written and directed by Hideaki Anno. It’s the first among four films to be released in the Rebuild of Evangelion tetralogy, based on the original anime series Neo Genesis Evangelion. The plot of the film is largely a point-for-point adaptation of episodes one through six of the original anime. More about the film at Wikipedia.
If you are a fan of the anime, then I’m sure Appliya’s series of apps based on the film will be of attraction.
Evangelion vol.2 Clock is the second in a series of five apps released (so far) which is based on the anime movie. Basically a simple clock, Evangelion vol.2 Clock mimics the unique style and design of the timer screens found in NERV’s headquarters which monitored the remaining battery life of the Evangelion mechas.
The app’s graphics are faithful to that of the movie, and comes with optional sound effects. There’s also a timer that lets you count down all the way from 30 minutes. The timer switches to an emergency mode when it hits the remaining ten seconds.
Being a clock application, there’s not much to customize other than switching between 24-hour mode or AM/PM mode display. One thing I noticed is that the app doesn’t actually prevent the iPhone or iPod touch from going to sleep, something which I would prefer having as an option. However, the app pays full respect to the accelerometer, changing orientation accordingly when the device is rotated.
Overall, as a clock application, Evangelion vol.2 Clock delivers, with one minor annoyance. Again, if you are a fan of the anime, then this and among other apps based on the movie is definitely a must-have, maybe as an all-in-one app that combines all five different app’s functionality into one.
