No date for GKids Neon Genesis boxset but some updates I saw from checking the forum at Bluray.com:
1. One member said a company that handles theatrical & home video releases in Spain - Selecta Vision - in a recent sharing of little tidbits of information revealed the video release of
EVANGELION TV was going to be "
After the Summer".
My Spanish is very rusty so I can't be much help but this link is to the post on the Spanish forum.

EVANGELION TV para despues de verano. La edicion incluira libreto. (EVANGELION TV for after summer. The edition will include a booklet.)
Possibly the discs will release world over at the same time so maybe the release will be later in the year? Just sharing.
2. Another member pointed out, like I've been saying (
I read the forum, don't have an account so it's not me, Lol) that Funimation's rights to Eva 2.22 are out of print. It's not available on the Funimation site or on RightStuff.com. Of interest is another poster said this:
1.11 was released in March 2010, went OOP last year. 2.22 was released in March 2011, may be going OOP now. 3.33 was planned for February 2014, didn't hit until February 2016 because Khara. If the licenses are 5 years + another 5 after renewal, then 3.33 would expire in 2024, but it could also potentially go this year.I don't see a scenario where Khara renewed 3.0 with Funimation for another 5 years. If they had certainly the first two would have been in the negotiations as well. Since the US BD for 3.33 was released on Feb 2, 2016 I think there may be a very good chance the rights for 3.33 may have already expired or will do so this year.
Soooooo GKids?
