Hello,

At this time no studio has announced rights to a remastered version of Evangelion. Hopefully it will be something ADV can offer in the future.


Thank you,

Hello,

I was wondering if the Remastered Evangelion with 5.1 surround sound was
going to get a US release?


Best regards.

Of freaking course, the US gets shafted again in terms of anime releases....... Even if it does get a release we probably won't see it for a couple of years......

Don't buy the boxset, its not great, the video jumps all over the place and the color kinda sucks compared to the remastered, the remastered contains better color, no jumping video and of course 5.1 which sounds AWESOME.

I bought the VHS version. I bought the current DVD version. I don't need ANOTHER version of Evangelion. It falls into "they should have fucking done that in the first fucking place" category.

And for anyone who asked, the EVA 5.1 being spoken of is Japanese only, no subs.

I remember when the Evangelion DVDs came out in Japan without 5.1. What they said was that Anno didn't "believe" in 5.1 :p

Shito mentioned some problems with the new 5.1 release a while back...

Search away - I'm sticking with my LD Box sets reguardless. ;)

Seems slightly similar to the Star Wars movies and the constant "minor" updates to justify re-releases... Not really a complaint, just an observation.
