Going back to the Death quality thingi, I'm starting to think that the Death and Rebirth transfer might be from a theatrical print, while the Death True^2 is the better handled original master. The official product listing does state the following: 『新世紀エヴァンゲリオン劇場版 シト新生』は劇場公開当時のプリントフィルムからのテレシネとな...

The DVD set is the original broadcast versions with none of the cleaning and tidying up that started almost immediately; it also has the first two versions of Death , which have not been available before. Slight correction: The Archives of Evangelion DVD set only has the second version of Death whi...

I think I might have a plausible technical reason that the "Reiquarium" isn't in the Blu-ray version of 23'. If the extra images were composited for the VHS/LD release's master tape using a video-based editing system, then no 16mm film copy of the finished product would have be...

I need to make some quick cash, so I've put a large swath of my Evangelion video collection on eBay...

Still waiting for my CDJapan delivery... This wait is killer! :cringe: Still got 2 days on my Amazon Japan order. While it's already in Seattle (the hub only ~100 miles away from me), DHL is going to just sit on it for 2 days because its preordained "scheduled delivery date" i...

Mind you, I'll be a bit disappointed if it's the same mousemat they already sent me with Q - that would be a waste of effort! CDJapan's 3.33 mouse pad was different than the one for the TV Blu-ray box. Of course the supply of both mouse pads is now exhausted, but still... http://st.cdja...

I was looking at this: http://www.evastore.jp/pc/index.php?toid=PC_ARTICLE&fromid=PC_STORE_TOP&article_id=20987 So admittedly ~$500 at current exchange rate is still too high of an estimate even with shipping, but when I last checked amazon.jp (this was a few months ago) the price w...

Can anyone confirm for me if the stereo mix on the Renewal/Blu-ray Discs is the broadcast mix? I was listening to Episode 1 on the Broadcast DVD and there seems to be missing music and lines. I know it was stated that somethings were cut from broadcast audio due to information overload. Just wanted...

Found a blog posting that gives a decent rundown on the "Archives" DVD box...

Just did a quick check - the audio on the BDs follows the same format as Renewal. The main track is the 5.1 mix from Renewal but the the secondary 2.0 track is still the audio from the Video & LD edition, not a straight 5.1->2.0 mixdown. You can check for yourself switching the two audio tracks...

Uhhhh... What the difference between "Address Line 1 & 2"? -o-; Address Line 1 is for your residence's physical address (e.g. "1 Main Street"). Do not put a PO Box there. Address Line 2 is if you live in an apartment building or other multi-residence building. We...

I'm sold...What the hell do I put under "Phonetic" -o-; http://i.imgur.com/l7c7CnP.png Just put your name in there again. The form's original intent was for Japanese people to put their full name (typically consisting of kanji and hiragana) in the first box and a phonetic ...

Is 3.0 an anomaly or the norm?

In my mind, the biggest obstacle to a Eva TV release Stateside is money. Khara is undoubtedly going to want $Texas for the rights!

$252.40? How is the Shipping fee? Can I use my Amazon(U.S.) account for purchases on Amazon(JP)? I included the shipping fee in my quote (note that they use DHL for Japan -> US shipments). You'll have to create a separate Amazon Japan account to order it, but it's pr...

Will they make a Blu-Ray set with English subtitles? :huh: I'm on the fringe with the Japanese Blu-Ray (To Buy or :bigeyes: not To Buy) It's possible that it'll get re-licensed for Blu-ray, but who knows when that will happen and/or how badly the eventual licensee will botch it....

...and, apparently, the only release to include those 21'-24' cuts that have been removed or reworked in later editions (Reiquarium images in 23', "Sex" flashback cards in 22', etc). Actually, the US "Director's Cut" DVDs from 2004 used the same cuts ...

Testing 1, 2, 3 http://i.imgur.com/xm82E4k.jpg That's a fairly decent stitch-job there on that Episode 1 scene! Edges are dodgy as hell, but the main focal points (Shinji's silhouette and the bakelite-entombed hand) are nicely presented. I just watched a video unboxing from a Japane...

Anyway, the copy of KIBA-6 you suggested me has just arrived here! The disk case is pretty sweet, I must say. The disk itself works perfectly. I've always been happy with my used purchases from 3rd-party Amazon Japan sellers so I'm glad it worked out for you as well. It's surprisingly s...

Just got a notice from customs... 153.56 € in import duties + VAT! Whatever. Wow, that's messed up! That's almost nearly half as much as I paid in total for my entire Blu-ray + Archives order including shipping! ($173 vs $363). Sometimes I forget how absolutely terrible Western Euro...

But if the Archives are around 82 GB I can't imagine what the Blu-Rays must be. The "Archives" DVD set weighs in at 52 GB. As for the Blu-ray set, if I were to extrapolate its size based off of the few numbers that I have on hand (EoE's BDMV @ 30 GB, Episode 1's M2TS @ 7.5...
