: Yeah, I'll still buy the DVD - and I'm confident that
: Manga will ensure that the actual film will look and
: sound great. Wondeful. Good for them. The End of
: Evangelion is a fantastic motion picture that can
: support a DVD on its own. No question about that. But
: that doesn't mean I can't be dissapointed that all the
: extras I was looking forward to never panned out.

Perfect Blue is as good as Manga have ever been IMO. Not watched Blood
though. WoH sub VHS was OK!

With the 2 Eva discs, Manga are probably thinking that after thr initial
releases, most buyers will go for their mini-box with both DVDs
together.

Frankly extras are something I can live without, being used to fansubs,
R2 etc. My "extra" being a good translation script.

What has soured the Manga DVD release for me is the Air-for-Rebirth use,
but mainly the bad language given to Misato in her speech. I have
already copied the dub on tape and bleeped-out the offensive word!
(using the French DVD). Looking for an Allison Keith sound-alike.  Also
recorded Rebirth from R1, but replaced the soundtrack from my Gainax
version. So, at the cost of going to SVHS, I have 2 almost hybrid
versions, with fluent English subtitles.

Maybe one day all 3 Gainax versions could be digisubbed using BBs
script. I can do low tech VCR with a home video editing keyboard, but
not DVDsubber, or much on PCs.

Might rent/buy the UK & Aussie versions of EoE as well, just to see
if/what changes are made.
