Wacom has crossed into the realm of anime fandom with the release of the MovinkPad Pro EVA Edition, a limited-run collaboration with Evangelion—the landmark Japanese mecha series. This isn’t just a tablet; it’s a reimagining of the MovinkPad Pro 14, wrapped in the geometric motifs, holographic finishes, and character designs that define Evangelion’s visual identity.
The result is a device that doubles as both a professional-grade drawing tool and a collector’s item. The EVA Edition retains the original’s standout features—14-inch display, 4K resolution, and battery-powered portability—but transforms them into a canvas of Evangelion* lore. Every surface, from the rear housing to the included accessories, is adorned with series-inspired artwork, while the interface itself adopts a honeycomb menu design and exclusive wallpapers.
Even the software gets a thematic upgrade. Wacom Canvas, the built-in sketching app, now sports a geometric icon set, and Wacom Shelf—Wacom’s customization hub—shares a cohesive visual language. The edition also introduces Wacom CClock EVA, a unique widget combining a clock and compass, styled after the futuristic devices seen in the films. Custom boot animations and 11 Evangelion-themed wallpapers further deepen the immersion.
The package itself is a work of art: a holographic finish on the box shifts colors as the light changes, and the included magnetic cover, foldable stand, and roll-up case all bear the series’ logo. The Pro Pen 3, too, is reimagined with Evangelion branding, while accessories like the Flare Grip and Button Plate allow for further personalization.
This isn’t Wacom’s first foray into limited-edition collaborations—previous partnerships with brands like Final Fantasy and Death Stranding have proven the market for themed creative hardware. But the Evangelion tie-in stands out for its depth. The series’ cult following and its distinct, angular design language make it a natural fit for a device aimed at both professionals and fans. For artists, it’s a chance to work on a tool that feels as much like a piece of memorabilia as it does a professional instrument.

The collaboration also underscores Wacom’s ability to merge utility with fandom appeal. While the MovinkPad Pro 14 is already a powerful tool for illustrators and designers, the EVA Edition adds an emotional layer—one that might just inspire creators to pick up their pens with renewed enthusiasm.
Early reactions from both artists and Evangelion enthusiasts suggest excitement over the blend of functionality and nostalgia. The device’s arrival could mark a new benchmark for how tech brands engage with niche audiences, proving that even professional hardware can carry the weight of cultural significance.
For those who’ve waited years for Evangelion* to cross into product design, this might finally be the moment they’ve been hoping for.
