Someone shared with me images of this vhs and i cant find anything about it. The vhs looks like it has no labels but it seems to have all the proper rights on the back.

It’s a bootleg. No VHS distributor is gonna slap their video on an unlabeled FujiFilm tape. I wonder if that VHS is even manufactured for a tape length specific to the duration of the feature.

I have heard there are also Evangelion NGE/EOE Blu-ray set and DVD bootlegs of the series floating around, there was a massive boom in the 90's/late 2000's after ADV folded, so I'd just buy from Madmen, Gkids or Alltheanime now they avavible.

Speaking from experience, I knew someone who got one, and they are not worth the risk, and they tend to have faulty discs that don't even play.

How is the seller asking almost $150 for this?
