Neon Genesis Evangelion
Reviewed by: Donald Munro
Read Donald Munro's film review of Neon Genesis EvangelionThe audio and visual quality of the episodes is good. The new dubs are better than the the ones from the 1990s. They do tone done some of the emotion - "hate" become "don't like" etc. Unfortunately the original end credits had to be replaced. They used to be different performances of Bart Howard's Fly Me To The Moon. Obtaining the licences for these 25 year old recordings probably proved too difficult (to do it you would have to track down all the musicians or their heirs).
The menu system on the Blu-ray is clear and easy to navigate. It doesn't waste you time with pointless transitions or annoy you with repetitious sounds or music.
There is a substantial amount of bonus material. Most of it is for hard core fans but there is not much for those who are new to the series or who want some explanatory content. There is an alternate take off the final scene that makes Asuka's opinion of Shinji crystal clear.
