: How do I come off as an ADV apologist?  Where did I say even say
anything positive about ADV!?!  I'm like the rest of you, I was
extremely pissed about how they handled the DVDs with the overlays,
extras, etc...   ADV is far from what I consider a great company, and
I'd rank them only above Manga.  Hense the use of 'enough respect' and
not just 'respect'. The difference is that I don't think they'd have
included fuck in Misato's dialogue, and I think they'd have noticed that
this wasn't the real 'Rebirth' they were using.  While I agree that ADV
doesn't hold enough respect for Eva as we do, I do think they have more
respect for it than Manga does. Thats all I'm saying!

ADV have a more fan-interest public image sometimes. If more profitable.

The "re-mastered" DVD#1 was only a reversion to the hard subbed master
used for LDs #1 & #2 and VHS #1 to #4, with soft subs for dialogue only.

If you want the original Japanese ending for each episode on *any* DVD,
there are none. Only the VHS kept them as degigned by Gainax - Japanese
text on left of moon, Rei swimming on right. The DVDs episode endings
cover everything with credits.
