The Misato Katsuragi News Project (Katsuragi Misato Hōdō Keikaku) software culls the daily news from real-life politics, the economy, the anime industry, and sports. The software then uses the voice synthesis engine from Cellius to have Misato read the news blurbs in realtime as if she was the newscaster for a television program called Nerv News 24. Users can customize the backdrop of the news program's "studio" as the secretive Nerv organization's headquarters, Misato's dining room, and other options. Users can also customize Misato's clothing and hair. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-05-27/eva-misato-hosts-realtime-show-on-ps3s-in-japan The vocaloid technology these days is mindblowing. Pretty soon, we won't have the need for real-life newscasters if this keeps up. I mean, who wants Tom Tucker, when you can have Misato Katsuragi?
