Fly-by Existentialism
The Essential Evangelion Chronicle: Side B continues where Side A left off, providing a detailed guide to the second half of the Evangelion TV series, using the Directors’ Cut versions for episodes 21 through 24.
The hidden sketch is not included in the English edition of Side B because it does not have the removable dust jacket. The rest of the art inside the book is pretty much the same for all versions: full color anime screenshots or other preexisting artwork, plus some completely new illustrations.
The English translation of Side A’s profile for Unit-01 appears to be from Side B, but it is actually from Side A. Each episode’s guide gives a closer look at certain points of interest, such as breakdowns of the Angel battles, and the English version has more mistakes in this section of the book than the French version.
For example, it says Shinji slept next to Kaji in episode 8, but this occurs in episode 18. These errors only appear in the English version, not the French version.
