In an effort to consolidate and designate any/all future updates regarding the newly announced Neon Genesis Evangelion "Ultimate Edition" release, I have created this thread. The purpose of this thread is to create a a single one-stop source for all future updates leading up the Anime Limited BD and GKids release of Evengelion. The moderators and I thought it would be best to do this and reduce redundant posts/threads as information begins to ramp up in the future.

I encourage and welcome other members to use this thread as a source as well, and would greatly appreciate posting updates that I or other members might miss. In the event of an update, I will resurface this thread - just please remember this exists and don't create another thread.

Death(True) is also included, but for those who don't know, it's basically a re-cap of the series and the first half of The End of Evangelion.

When do you think we will see the original series on BD? I really like the Rebuild films, but I love the original!
I own the Platinium col. on DVD and it could look amazing in HD.

[Bubblegum2032]

maybe after third impact

[Naiera]

It'll be out in Japan only and cost 100000000 yen.

[chronoclast]

It won't happen until at least after the Rebuild films are finished.

And after 5 years the rest of the world will also get them.

[Xtempo]

I hope Funi doesn't get the series. Having to wait for 3.33 is really annoying and having each release in a different package that is doesn't match the others is the main reasons I hope if TV does get a BD Funi doesn't get it unless they step up more.

If I was wealthy and had the means I would put out a complete box for all related Eva movies, TV the Symphony Concert and other videos and call it ~The Complete Hideaki Anno Vision~

and that would be the final and ultimate release. I will probably keep buying this again and again before I pass on into the next life

[FLEABttn]

Well, it's going to be Funimation. Nobody else has deeper pockets in North America right now. Likely a two cour release, with a LE box option for a few dollars more.

I'm sure we don't have 3.33 yet because of licensing issues. Can't really fault them for that.

Actually there is apparently a dub issue that needs to be fixed before 3.33 can be released.

Seriously?! Of all the piece of sh--

Excuse me, I have to go flip over a desk.

[Girls With Guns]

Ah, I thought maybe they accidentally got the master for the TV-censored version - you know, the one with the little flying saucers hovering over all the most interesting parts...?!

From neoz in the upcoming titles thread:

Also I didn't catch it until now, but Madman(Australian anime publisher) said the audio wasn't mixed properly with Funimation's Evangelion 3.33 dub(since they use the same dub). Which apparently wasn't caught until around the time of the release in theaters. At this point, they have to go back and redo the dub in order to correct it(since it can't be fixed apparently). So that's probably what is holding up the DVD/BR release.

[MOONPHASE]

Personally I think Sentai Filmworks(or 1 of the other Section 23 Divisions like maybe Maiden Japan) will get the series. They missed their chance with the Rebuild movies, since Funimation beat them to the punch thanks to ADV Films struggles in 2008 and 2009. But Sentai is very much alive and really love the Evangelion series. Maybe even obsessed with it.

[UseY0ur1llusi0n]

As long as the original negatives still exist overseas in Japan, and they do a proper scan of the film elements instead them just doing a sloppy Q-tec blowjob after the rebuilds are over, then yes, I would love to have the original Evangelion TV series on BD. Though I have to admit I really want to see a Blu-ray release of EoE, as it was done on 35mm, which means it would look freakin' glorious in HD. Also wouldn't mind a few a of the cast members getting a re-dub to keep the voices more consistent, since Mungas release was pretty goddamn horrid.

Rightstuf's product page for 3.33 says:
"Note: This item's release has been delayed to accommodate the theatrical run of the film."

But I don't how old that is or if it's accurate at all.

That was the 1st excuse.
