Eva 2.0 offically licensed by Funimation.

[Mr. Tines]

I hardly find Mari naked being interrogated (as seen in Q preview) as being sexy fan service. She is just being humiliated.

So, she'll be stealing some of Ritsuko's role as well as Kaji's.

[Dr. Webster]

Is giant naked Rei considered fan service in EoE. I hope not.

I kinda don't think so. She's pretty much naked through that whole movie anyway.

Well, some might find humiliation to be sexy...

[NAveryW]

Augh, the fanservice stuff! It's a rehash! Make new posts, guys!

[EVA X]

Not a fan of having to wail till 2011 (why does everything I want have to be released in 2011?) but it's good news nonetheless. Can't wait to see it.

[Sun Stealer]

Only if you're Shintaro Ishihara or the staff of the Economist.

[Guilt & Innocence]

Back to the rating guessing, I am not so much as worried about the fanservice as I am worrying about the bardiel beat down scene

[SEELE-01]

ATCHOO!

So do we have any rough estimates on when to expect it to come out on DVD (in America)?

[Killer Bee]

The terrible things she did to the German language during her involvement in Eva could easily be considered a crime against humanity according to the French legal code.

Grant's German was a damn sight nicer than Miyamura's.

So do we have any rough estimates on when to expect it to come out on DVD (in America)?

Funimation has given the rough estimate of Spring 2011 for the DVD/Blu-ray release. I'm guessing the theatrical run will take place around November.

As a reminder, dub talk goes in THIS THREAD.

It's been made into a Sticky to make it easier to find.

Thanks.

What I'd like to know is if the release is going to be 2.0 or 2.22. It alreasy makes it hard to shop in the US for 1.11 when 1.01 is confused by retailres as the other one.

One thing though, I would like to see the alternate scenes as a special feature ether included as an alternate angle on the DVD or on the special features. It ain't much of a big deal but it still something I want.

It's 2.22

Update: Funimation confirmed with ANN that it licensed the updated 2.22 version of the Evangelion film — the only version that was released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc in Japan. Funimation is planning DVD, Blu-ray, and theatrical releases, although details of the theatrical release are to be announced later. Funimation also has a theatrical release planned for Summer Wars this year, followed by DVD and Blu-ray releases next year. Similarly, the Hetalia film will ship on DVD next year.

That's right... There is no 2.02, or even 2.0 DVD/BD release. They forwent all of that this time around. Thanks.

Oh, also, who else here isn't really pleased with Funimation's 1.11 covers and DVD/BD menus? The Japanese ones were so much more... fitting, I guess would be the word... (Actually I should just say DVD, I haven't seen the BD menu I'm just assuming it's the same)

I like the cover and DVD menus.I think they're cool.

Well, the cover on 1.01 is better than 1.11 in my opinion... and as for the menus on the BD, it's entirely different than the 1.11 DVD (I own both formats). The menus have clips of the film running with a purple bar with the option menus on it. I also had seen pictures of the 1.11 Japanese blu-ray, and the options bar at the bottom of the screen in Funimation BD follow the format and style (except for the colors and the BD-java activity (which Funi BD did not use)) of the Japanese BD. Also, the chapter names on the BD are the same as the Japanese BD. (meaning that they use the music cue titles instead of the name of the specific scene.)

[Sun Stealer]

I liked the covers of 1.01 and 1.11; they were classy. I hope they don't do anything like have a picture of a scantily clad Rei or Asuka on the cover of 2.22 or future releases.

[tomrule123]

Actually, I'd rather see the Beast form of EVA 02 (or what Mari did to EVA 02) on the cover of 2.22. That would make my day if they used it.

[Electric Sachiel]

Of course that would be a huge spoiler too. LOL. I wouldnt mind them just putting three photoshopped art images of Unit 00, 01 and 02 together on the cover. Or maybe the berserk Unit 01 going into god mode....but then again that would probably count as another spoiler no?

In all likely hood it will be a scene with unit 02 from the battle with the clock angel, or unit 01 running to catch Sahaquiel; probably the latter rather than the former. I doubt they will have a scene from either the battle against Bardiel (might give away who the pilot is), or the battle with Zeruel (considering that it is the climax of the movie, reveals the beast mode, the near third impact, and the Rei/zeruel thing.)
