2009-01-02Its been a few years since ive seen it on Adult Swim it was a GREAT show, but too bad they only showed the series once...
2008-12-19I had heard bits and peices about this anime since I started collecting cels. I always recogized them because they are probably some of the most expensive anime cels out there. Even so I had never seen the anime, but I heard from many others that it was a great timeless anime. Now I don't have a specific genre of anime I like, just whatever happens to come my way, which seems to be giant robot ones and sci fi ness. So I took a chance when Best Buy put the series set on sale and bought it. It actualy sat on my shelf for severeal months untill recently.
Spoilers may be below.
The anime is about a boy named Shinji who is selected as the third child to pilot the Evangelion(robot) 001. He is pretty depressed about it but pilots it anyway. He and 2 other pilots Rei and Asuka all fight these monsters called Angels. durring the anime Shinji goes through a great deal of stress and emotion wondering why he is here and what his lifes meaning is. dispite being an action packed series it is very psycological. The series ends abruptly with Shinji's mind wandering in itself.
I have to say I was never expecting to enjoy this anime as much as I did. It really was briliantly done in almost all aspects of it. The music was enjoyable and the charachters were very human. Shinji the main character is very depressing, but in that aspect of him it seems how a real person would be acting. Even though the robots or Eva's as they're reffered to are a big part of the story they don't overshaddow the human charachters. The only thing I really had a problem with was the ending of the anime. The last 2 episodes got really confusing to the point where I had no idea what was going on. Lots of still images and flashing. I was really happy to see the ending much better explained in the Evangelion movie End of Evangelion.
The dvds in this set are in slim cases which I am not a fan of. But the dvds themselves seem to be of good quality. I'm happy with the purchase. Overall I really enjoyed the anime and am happy that I did. I am really looking forward to the 4 new movies coming out over the next few years.
2008-11-23The seller of this product was awesome, they answered my email imediately and the product got here sooner than expected and it was in great condidtion. Will definetly buy from them again. All shopping is easy, quick and why waste gas to go out and shop when you can find everything right here. Amazon is a great place to shop and we will be using Amazon again!
2008-11-02Starters, I don't much care for special features. This set was perfect for me because of that. The thin cases save lots of room on the shelf, has all the episodes plus 4 director's cut episodes. The only problem I have with this is when you are watching it with subtitles, they don't have those fun facts pop up like when you watch it on the computer. I like those. Other than that it's perfect, good picture quality, actualy really good picture quality, good sound, great product.
2008-09-16I've already reviewed this show, but I am reviewing the way that ADV has put this package together. Put simpley, it is amazing. Rather than putting the whole show on 8 discs, the regular run of the show is on 5 discs, plus a 6th disc with the 4 director's cut episodes. The picture and sound quality on these discs blows the old set's quality out of the water, and the conveinent packaging saves a ton of space on my shelf (nothing really to do with the DVDs I know, but just a personel note there). Above all, the 4 director's cut episodes are actualy quite well worth it with some very intresting footage (some flat-out creepy i might add!). Out of the 5 charachters that were re-dubbed for this ocassion, only 1 really needed it, but whatever. If you haven't watched Evangelion before, or if you want better sound and picture than the set you may currently own, then by all means you must pick this up! It only cost me 58 bucks brand new!
