Well,
Evangelion 3.33 is out at last.
...But I'm not seeing any indications that the
God Warrior short was included.
Oh, well...

^ Yeah that is a bummer, especially with Godzilla Resurgence on the way. The three Animator Expo shorts (Until You Come to Me, Evangelion: Another Impact (Confidential) and Neon Genesis Impacts) aren't included either, but hopefully a future Rebuild set with all four movies will have them (however long that takes).
This release also feels a little different in that the opening and end titles are in the original Japanese rather than English, and some character names are spelled slightly different. I wonder if there's any meaning to that for Anno and Khara.
Well I finally got to see Eva 3.0 and it might be my favorite of the films so far. It goes into an entirely different direction from the original show and movies, but there are elements of episode 24 and End of Eva in there. After an extended opening of nonstop action (it's about 30 minutes before the main title appears), I think it's nice and rather bold that the movie slows down to focus on Shinji exploring the world he left behind 14 years (!) ago. Then the action ramps up again with sequences brand new to this story and unlike anything we've seen in the franchise before. I know this has been hit-or-miss with some fans but I find it very exciting and can't wait to see how it all ends (again).

Yeah, 3.0 was kind of an awkward watch for me; but it was awkward in ways I would expect an Evangelion story to be, and for that it might be my favorite Rebuild film as well, so far. It's a weird franchise.

So the films are supposed to be a more depressed or less depressed version of a dystopian future than the series?
But I do agree, you probably would be hard -pressed to find a more messed up anime series. Why does *that* aspect alone make this so mind-blowingly popular? I have no idea. Of course I appreciate Anime that can be serious, even edgy at times. But I don't think making the most depressing anime ever makes it more "realistic". If we walk around with doom & gloom on our minds all the time, sure I guess... But despite it all, there are GOOD things in this world, there are FUN things as well.
--I dare any anime fan who has an even, well-adjusted, temperament not to have fun watching an episode of King of Braves: GaoGaiGar. Of course, if you want to flip the scales the other way. I still say the story of what D-Boy goes through in Tekkaman Blade is more tragic than Shinji in NGE.

Finally watched 3.33.
Great animation but I definitely forgot what the story was about. I got lost so I need to go back and watch the first two.

This is very surprising. This isn't just the case of them licensing an old movie or TV show. The amount of negotiation they had to do here goes far beyond the usual and it's more like when a couple of years ago Netflix and Hulu were paying hundreds of millions of dollars to get Friends and Seinfeld. Of course, I'm sure they didn't pay anything like that to get Evangelion, but the point is that they're treating this far more like a coveted exclusive title, just below being a Netflix original. Apparently, they're even commissioning a brand new English language dub for the series and movies.

According to the Funimation CEO, Netflix may have overpaid to get Evangellion.

Netflix overpays for everything. $30 Million for Cloverfield Paradox. $100 Million for the TV show Friends, just for 2 years, non exclusive...

^ Except the new Gridman is about 100X better than NGE
. Also just for grins....
Totally legit used DVD copies, the original ADV releases, not so impossibly expensive as claimed:
Vol. 1 $5
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Neon-Genesis-E ... ctupt=trueVol. 2 $13
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Neon-Genesis-E ... ctupt=trueVol 3 $10
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Neon-Genesis-E ... ctupt=trueComplete Box Set for $90
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Neon-Genesis-E ... :rk:6:pf:0All of these are actually close to same price or less then when they were first released in the early 2000's. Each individual DVD was $20 at most locations. Game Stop would occasionally have one for $15 but that was rare. Of course there are outrageously priced ones on there as well, people trying to play into the false pretense of this "rare" collection.

^Well, that's cool. I admit, I haven't really tried searching out the show on home video; by the time I was watching anime, I was leaning more into Blu-ray anyway.
I wonder how recent those listing are? I wouldn't be surprised if the Netflix announcement prompted more people to try selling (although, I'd expect that more from a new physical release announcement).
