I think that the extended episodes are Anno’s preferred edition anyway In original Japanese LD and DVD edition, we didn't have aired version but *only* the home video version. The reason is simple: even today, every anime is finalized and readjusted for the home video edition, that is the original ...

"Nèo-" means "nuovo", it's the same information that gets conveyed (= a New Tokyo). In Italian, "neo" means this thing https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo In AKIRA Japanese script we've "NeoTokyo": ネオ 東京 = NEO TOKYO (it must reamin "Neo Tokyo" in a fo...

Localization is quite a complex thing. For example using "Nuova Tokyo 3", even if it's a literal translation, would sound very early '900 instead of sci-fi to most people. Literal translations of city names was a thing in the '20s during fascism, and it's now considered ancient. "Neo...

Most of the items you mention aren't actually wrong. The official English/international terminology for many of the proper nouns (including the name of the show itself!) intentionally does not match up with the original Japanese. You can see several examples of these flash on the screen in the open...

From December 14, 2018, no more Cowboy Bebop on Netflix Italy

There's a difference between "nostalgia" and "nostalgia of something that was objectively great". Italian Evangelion's dub is *not* objectively great. It's *just* subjectively great for Italian dubs situation as it was 20 years ago ^_^ It was the best one if compared to the othe...

Looks like the BD remaster follows Renewal pretty closely. Most (all?) of the Renewal-only changes are still there. The "Sex" / "I hate everyone" flash cards in #22/#22' are still censored, for example. the Reiquarium with extra images is not there. These parts are l...

For BDs they used Renewal video master. You can see the different tone of color and the different credits' font in the OP. There's also the edit on 01's eyes in the first episode (in the original edit the eyes are always turned "on", while in the Renewal they turned "o...

Still no way to tell whether the version of the Reiquarium scene with background images will in there somewhere... It's still no clear :| BTW, the BD release will have 'Air' e 'Magokoro wo kini ni' in their serial edit Video Edition :wink: [url]http://wiki.evageeks.org/Guides:Ep...

But which is the current owner of international rights of Evangelion?

Original video release did not have the same care and attention from the staff. False. As you know, Japanese home video releases were suspended for the movie production. Episodes 21-24 onair edition were refused for the hv by the staff because they were rushed . They give to these home video editio...

@TMBounty_Hunter: yes, you're right. LD used analog video. I got mixed up ;) Those are analog sourced DVDs. They didn't go back and rescan the film until Renewal. What that I contest is how they did that to Evangelion with the Renewal/Platinum. They deliberately increased the color satur...

Can the initial VHS and DVD release really be considered the "original" versions Neither VHS or DVD but the LD, the 1st digital edition of Evangelion (with the graphic layout of Norihiko Nezu and characters designed by Takeshi Honda): http://svenge.pcriot.com/evasite/jpld/jpld.htm...

That atmosphere you're talking about is just shitty analog storage mediums like VHS. Nope. I'm talking about the video of the original DVD Japanese release in super jewel box, this one: [url]http://blogs.c.yimg.jp/res/blog-8f-d6/onapan2001/folder/462399/97/26303797/img_0?1194118359 [url]htt...

Eva tv original aspect ratio was 4:3 (1,33:1) and this must be on BD too (if you bought Twin Peaks Enitre Mystery BDs, you've found a perfect example of how an original 4:3 aspect ratio video must be on BD; you can't avoid pillar on the sides. Crop is bad!) Theatrical Edition...
