Evangelion: 1.11 You Are [Not] Alone May 27 - Blu-ray Forum

Germtop · 02-23-2009, 01:08 PM

I really, really want to see this but I get the feeling the Japanese are not going to share the love and include either subtitles or dubbed track.

I hope I'm wrong.

Evangelion 1.11: You Are [Not] Alone Blu-ray

Marine Mike · 02-23-2009, 01:10 PM

They are usually good with Evangelion releases with English subtitles. I wasn't a big fan of the English track for this series regardless.

Germtop · 02-23-2009, 01:14 PM

This is great to hear. When you day "They" are you talking about the company that owns the Evangelion series?

I was very disappointed to learn that BUbblegum Crisis is available in Japan but no subtitles or english audio. And I've noticed that most releases don't have either.

I'll be cautiously optimistic.

Bubblegum didn't? Oh I see....I change my statement then.

I wish someone, somewhere would unleash the entire catalog of NGE on Blu. That would be a day one purchase for sure.

I hope this release at least has Engilsh subs..which truth be told, i would rather listen to it in Japanese.

Jeff Kleist · 02-23-2009, 04:50 PM

very unlikely. Funimation has bought the US rights, and obviously doesn't want a Japanese release messing with that.

the Japanese releases with subs are the ones without US licenses, or where the same company owns it here

Trebar · 02-24-2009, 08:35 AM

I agree with Jeff. Funimation hasn't given a specific date for a U.S. release yet and a subtitled Blu-Ray would devalue that license.

I've already used a .srt file to add subs to my DVD. (Way too much effort though) This time I might try an overlay program if Funimation hasn't given out a more firm date by May.

coralfangs · 02-24-2009, 05:41 PM

waiting patiently for the boxset (the last of the 4 movies won't be out in theatre til 2012 if I'm correct?)
hopefully will be out when I'm done schooling in 10 years

zedd_117 · 03-09-2009, 07:23 PM

Any word on whether this will be getting the much hoped for US release?
Just saw the limited edition of the last release (version 1.0) (standard DVD) on Ebay for about $75.
Man, it sure looks pretty, but not knowing Japanese, and the fact that it's pretty much just a rehash of the first 6 spiodes of the series made me put my wallet away.
Hopefully ADV (are they still around?) will put it out here.

Need my Eva fix on Blu!
Seriously I thought this would be one of the first series ported over to Blu for US audiences. That or Cowboy Bebop.
Sorry DBZ doesn't count.

Jeff Kleist · 03-09-2009, 08:58 PM

Funimation owns it here, it's going around the film festival circuit this summer

Don't expect a release until fall, or any announcements prior to Anime Expo

Thanks Jeff, I'll be anxiously awaiting, or learning Japanese, whichever is quicker.

zedd_117 · 03-10-2009, 01:41 PM

Gots some info:

Here's the official press release of the Funimation aquisition:
http://www.animenation.net/blog/2009...19-soul-eater/

Official Webisite:
http://www2.funimation.com/evangelion/

Trailer:
http://www.funimation.com/video/?page=video&v=977

Note on the right side of the trailer a release date of November 10, 2009 is given!

Hopefully this will mean a Blu-ray release. However it will most likely be for the 1.01 version of the film, not the original theatrical cut. Which I think is fine, considering it's just some audio and video "tweaks", nothing major. I'd like to see the 1.11 cut hit stateside too.

Apparently Funimation owns distribution on all cuts of the films.

Jeff Kleist · 03-10-2009, 04:21 PM

Yes, there just has to be enough breathing room between US and Japanese releases

Given Funimation's Blu-ray enthusiasm, there's no way I can see a Blu not hitting stateside unless there are specific licensing issues that forbid it.

The second movie will likely take awhile. Japanese roadshows run long, and so I don't expect them to be able to release it here on video any earlier than spring, and that's very liberal estimate.

I knew FUNi wouldn't muck this up. Can't wait for Tuesday.

Sagacious Koreo · 03-03-2010, 07:06 PM

Went and picked this up. I don't know very much about the Evangelion universe, but I'm definitely interested in this. They really did a great job with the quality of the packaging on this one.

Jsheth · 03-03-2010, 08:13 PM

Ya might wanna check out the series

This movie is MINE
Lets hope the other 3 come out soon!

Cant wait to see the new ending
I hope its a solid blend of the 2 we have now

Iron-Blu-123 · 03-03-2010, 08:25 PM

Will be getting it soon.

gpn · 03-03-2010, 10:30 PM

Watched this over the weekend and the video quality is outstanding! I had heard that the movie series was going to change things up story-wise from the TV series, but this first one seemed to follow it pretty closely. I just hope that the subsequent movies follow through on that as I felt the TV series really fell apart in the last third. I've been enjoying Sadamato's take on the story in the manga version, so I have hope for the movies.

Chiyo_chichi · 03-03-2010, 10:44 PM

I've been waiting for this for a LOOOOONG time (high definition version). Finally I can put my Malaysian dvd to rest

This is most likely my #1 animated release of the year and fortunately it seems like it will be worth the wait. Even Funi's packaging is beautiful.
