Re: Rebuild of Evangelion
 

Having just sat through the Blu-ray Evangelion 1.11 I can't stress enough how freaking awesome it is. Sure there are a couple of low points, but holy damn this film is epic all around!

Re: Rebuild of Evangelion
 

Keep in mind that this is first of four films. Only the first one has been licensed so far. It will be just matter of time before the next one gets licensed.

Re: Rebuild of Evangelion
 

I've only watched the dub, and I thought Rei's dream near the beginning, which had a voice-over repeating two names over and over, was a very low point.

Re: Rebuild of Evangelion
 

Yes, I am aware of that. Still, getting any amount of Evangelion on Blu-ray is fantastic.

Re: Rebuild of Evangelion
 

Watched this today. I liked a lot of the changes, especially to the diamond angel. The framing seemed tight in some parts, though, but I guess that was inevitable going from 4:3 to 16x9.

Re: Rebuild of Evangelion
 

It's the same framing they used when they reanimated the scenes for Death & Rebirth. It looked overly tight then too.

Speaking of Eva...there is now a Evangelion Movie 1.01: You Are Not Alone EVA Unit 01 1/80 Scale Vinyl Statue (additional pics linked here).

It's available for purchase at Robert's Anime Corner Store for a hefty $2000.00!

Re: Rebuild of Evangelion
 

Looks great

Re: Rebuild of Evangelion
 

How long is it gonna take for all of these to come out? Are all four of the films even finished?

Re: Rebuild of Evangelion
 

A number of years. There are not all finished.

Re: Rebuild of Evangelion
 

Thanks for that info.

I'm correct in assuming 2.22 is the one right after 1.10 or whatever?

Re: Rebuild of Evangelion
 

Yeah it comes after 1.0 (1.01, 1.11). And it may be for those who don't want to wait. Even if FUNimation does license it this year, it's highly unlikely that it will be released this year (and it could be longer if there is theatrical obligations).

Re: Rebuild of Evangelion
 

$14 New at Amazon? for the Bluray

Re: Rebuild of Evangelion
 

That's the cheapest price yet (price-matching FYE.com).

• Evangelion, Neon Genesis 1.11: You Are (Not) Alone (Blu-ray): $13.99

Re: Rebuild of Evangelion
 

Awesome. In. Thanks! Funny that I started this thread, but I'm a latecomer to actually get this. Never did make it to the theater to see it like I hoped.

Re: Rebuild of Evangelion
 

Gah! Saw this deal this morning. I paid double for the Blu-ray because I just HAD to get it on release day. Dive in if you haven't already!

Re: Rebuild of Evangelion
 

Pics of the Japanese BD release for 2.22 can be seen here.

Re: Rebuild of Evangelion
 

Someone from a different had inquired about the specs on the releases. See below...

The Hong Kong import looks to be drool worthy:drool:-

Re: Rebuild of Evangelion
 

I own one of the HK BD versions. It was worth it for me. I would guess that FUNimation won't release it until mid of 2011 at the earliest.

Re: Rebuild of Evangelion
 

How many more movies are they planning? I want to do the unthinkable, and hold out watching any of them until ALL of them are released in the US.
