Released by Army Dumbbell — which I believe is a brand in Japan, and not the actual Army’s hot new line of exercise equipment, but who knows — the dumbbells come in blue EVA Unit-01 and red EVA Unit-02, and have little NERV logos on the ends so you can feel like… uh… you’re in the workplace gym of a bizarre, semi-governmental organisation designed to prevent the annihilation of humanity by massive, otherworldly beings named Angels who may actually be sent by God? Look, I’m having a tough time wrapping my head around these.
