I just saw a new dvd box set and the retail price was almost US$1,000.00 and the title is Neon Genesis Evangelion DVD Box set.And second hand was almost $700!

This went OOP quite quickly indeed and i think the price must reflect that....i picked mine up at a comparably reasonable price of about $350 although i did receive it as soon as it was released in Japan.

Wow!

And I was debating the other day in BB whether to get the "Evangelion Perfect Collection" R1 release for $150 Canadian.

The Green River Killer DVD Set ( confessions, untold other stuff)has retail over $2500..

i forget how many dvd's it is

109 DVDs, according to this site I found. Who would pay that much to watch his confessions? That's a little creepy.

Yeah those anime guys regard that dvd like the holy grail... which the Cowboy Bebop Perfect Sessions previously held the title

Take a look at this one!

Wow! Those sets make Star Trek: TNG sets look like bargain bin DVDs you get a Walmart.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes set has to be close. $1875.00 for the whole set (53 DVDs)

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Man, and I thought those X-Files sets were too expensive.

That's too damn much to be spending on a DVD set.

Unless the fool has enough money that they would never miss it anyways.

Actually, it makes no difference...the fool would, indeed, still be parting with his money.

I cannot believe some of those prices!!! And to think I am whinning about paying $90 for a season of x-files...

Or....."a fool and his money are some party"

I don't think they are fools!The Tenichi Muyo box set was still around, but the Evangelion set is no more.When I asked around I got an offer for US$600 for a used one.Still thinking on it.

Remember...they're DVD's, not a down payment on a car.

yeah but some people have more money then brains(including me) they see somthing they want, they figure out a way to get it

This website has pictures about the Neon Genesis Evangelion Renewal boxset and comparison of screen captures between the regular and Renewal versions.

Btw, ADVfilms is going to release Neon Genesis Evangelion Platinum Edition starting from this July. It's supposed to be the same master as the R2 Renewal. ADVfilms can't call it Renewal here because they can't release the Renewal version of the movies (Manga Ent currently owns the R1 license).

re: Neon Genesis Evangelion for $1000


That's a shitload of money for a movie I never heard of!!!

IIRC, the Renewal set consists of the remastered versions of the the followings, plus tons of extras and goodies.

Neon Genesis Evangelion (TV)
Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death & Rebirth (movie)
Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion (movie)

The TV series is 26 episodes long.

I didn't buy it. It's still shitload of money at the listed price (typical of Japanese pricing).

If people would pay $40 for a decent version of a movie they like (such as a Criterion release), then $1000 for 26 TV episodes plus 2 movies plus other extras does not seem so outrages.

Most people in this forum probably have thousands of dollars invested in their DVD collections anyway.

It does get expensive for anime fans if they have a wide range of interests.

...or a house.

Not in Tokyo man,you can rent a 1 room bedroom only for a month with that much money
