Sure... they are good if you like the edits that ADV does. Take a look at
http://www.animeprime.com/reports/eva.html

Video quality? Eh, I can live with a slightly weaker version but there
shouldn't be anything on Anime`'s site IMHO (in a perfect world ;-) ). Did
the licensees (e.g. ADV) realistically think that no fan would ever
notice? Every change just takes away from the coolness (weirdness?) that
is EVA. Has anyone ever asked during an ADV panel at a con why they change
so many little things such as OP/ED credits and such?
