Offical Neon Genesis Evangelion Info/Update Thread

[Rilenz]

Old news by now I'm sure, but just checked my disc from the UK Ultimate Edition and that live action deleted scene from End of Eva is missing the subs, like the others.

Also, unrelated, and y'all're gonna think I'm silly for this, but I only just realised Asuka's bandages in the beach scene are from the battle against the mass produced Eva's from where Unit 2 was injured '^o^
Guess that just never clicked with me before haha

I find it funny that she decided to manifest herself some bandages rather than just ya know...healing herself completely lol

I also got a confirmation on a replacement disc for my NA UE. I'd speculate they are likely already assembled, or the replacement discs wouldnt be ready in time without delaying the UE again.

Either way submit those forms. I'll have two faulty movie discs to sell off for people that just want to replace their garbage Manga dvds , so I'm looking at this as an opportunity to mitigate the price of the UE, even if only by a little.

Yeah I never got that, nor the eyepatch version in the reboots. Also never really understood how her eye got damaged in the first place. You feel the pain when the EVA is damaged but don't also receive the damage, that was made clear in the beginning, otherwise Shinji's arm and head would have been ripped off.

In relation to EoE at least, I'd say it's likely they're a product of her high sync ratio and aren't actually happening to her, she just feels and sees them like you said (Which might actually explain why despite having a bandage on her arm, it seems relatively not cut in half) As for the parts they don't visualize, it might have to do with censorship, I know Japanese censors are harsh on things like human disembowelment, fantasy creatures and such are fine, but humans specifically seem to be a no go most of the time)

It's the idea that they're messing with forces they think are under control and understand but really do not; she was in such sync she took physical damage the Eva did. That's the extent of how literally it is to be taken. The series doesn't exactly base itself in hardheaded consistent reality!

As for the Rebuild,

[Show spoiler]her eyepatch is the same as the red sea and coffins on the moon. Things have repeated themselves over and over again.

Just got mine from Shout Factory. Four discs were loose, but not scratched or broken, there were no repeated discs, and Shout Factory kept it well-protected.

My replacement for disc 5 came today - one day after I watching it. At least I have a back-up disc for the movies now (can't say that deleted LA scene improved any with subs). Plus my new disc is practically scratch-free (not that I've had any playback issues yet).

Watching the video-format edition for EoE right now and will finish up those animatics on disc 4 later - and then I can move on to the classic dub.

I think it's kinda weird how none of the FMTTM fundamentalists have inquired about the FMTTM-equipped Evas I put up for sale the other day

You just had to mention that didn't you? Now all the FMTTM fans will wake up.

I already own them.

Well, my UE arrived today. The outside box looked like it was used as a wheel chock in Kosovo so I had worries.
Fortunately, the 4-corner support foams greatly assisted in the sets survival.

It's actually larger and heavier in hand than I first considered it would be but quite pleasantly surprised.

A few other things going on currently, so have yet to take a quiet time to sit down and view all the contents but hope to tonight.
Very happy indeed I made this purchase despite the grueling delivery soap-opera involved.

I hope to take pics of it and some other lovely new treasures, tomorrow.

I think it’s because people who would be interested mostly want the platinum set but also people love making mountains out of mole hills.

Still waiting for a response about my replacement.This is getting ridiculous.
At this point, I'll just settle for a refund because I need to move by Jan 19th!

[GasmaskAvenger]

Despite my LE set from RightStuf not arriving for another week, I did receive my replacement copy of Disc 5 in the mail this morning.

I got my two replacement discs today, one for the CE and one for the Ultimate. That was insanely quick.

[CommanderNagisa]

You guys think that AllTheAnime are waiting for the rest of the UE stock to be sent out in January before they start doing replacement discs?

So are you all saying that the replacement discs are for Fly Me to The Moon?
