Offical Neon Genesis Evangelion Info/Update Thread

[Bubbles-11]

it's great that they are supposedly including the ADV dub (Classic Dub as it's called on their website), but Fly Me To The Moon not being included, plus it being in very limited quantities and exclusive to GKIDS' website turns me off from buying it. Hopefully they won't do this same nonsense with their upcoming rumored Cartoon Saloon Irish Folklore Trilogy set!

lol. Wait it is on sale. What a joke.

I'm looking at the specs.

AUDIO
English and Japanese in DTS-HD MA 5.1 (2003 Renewal)
DTS-HD MA 2.0 (Original Mix Remaster)

Is the English audio for the 2003 Renewal refer to the ADV dub or the Netflix dub, and what about the Original Mix? They say "official", but I'm not so sure.

[Satchyl]

$325 with shipping an tax for me. Blarg.

Wish they would've posted the other editions along with this one so I can make a better decision.

[InuYashaCrusade]

What do they mean by classic dub and official dub? Is it ADV and Netflix?

[Nothing371]

"More information about forthcoming editions coming soon" on the panic-buy inducing countdown page.

heh

Looks amazing, love the Laserdisc art

I’m sure the other editions in 10 days probably include a slightly more affordable option but the damage is done.

It doesn't explicitly say I don't think, but does this release (or other modern releases) contain both the broadcast and director's cuts of 21-24?

[Tylerfan]

Noticed this on the GKIDS website in the questions section

HOW MUCH WILL THE ULTIMATE EDITION COST?

Please note that $274.99 is a special promotional pre-order price, effective during the pre-order period from August 19, 2021 and ending on December 7, 2021. After December 7, 2021, the price will return to its standard price of $349.99.

So the release date might be December 7th?

[IdeaOfEvil]

Is my understanding of what "international" means off? If FMttM isn't on the international releases, doesn't that mean it'll be on the domestic releases?

You'll find out in 10 days.

[EvilMoose]

Question is, will the next tier down/standard editions for this series still include the Classic dub? I went ahead and pre-ordered. I'm planning on saving up for this version anyway, but if in the intervening time we get details for smaller versions of this set, and the classic dubs are still included, I'd like have the option to switch.

[starsteam]

If it was under $250 shipped this would have been a instant pre-order. But now I'm not so sure. 5,000 is quite a few copies and at that price I doubt they will fly off so fast.

I want the best edition, but I think I'm going to wait until they show off the standard version before I lay down $300 bucks for this. If the the discs are the same and the packaging is more appealing at a easier to swallow price, then I won't mind missing out on the physical extras.

So it looks like those old dvd sets are going to retain their value.

[Pochacco]

£199.99 in the UK, Limited to 1,500 copies.

I got my pre-order in. I sold my ADV Platinum R1 DVD boxset for £170 so for effectively £29.99 this is a worthy upgrade to BR.

[Memade]

Looks like it’s also geo-blocked.

Not a huge deal but I hate this shenanigan so much.
