This CD collection is a wonderful set and I am exceedingly pleased with the purchase. A curiosity, however, is that the manual included with the CD set mentions a bonus disc (for a total of 7) which neither the product nor any review I've seen mentions. Needless to say the bonus disc is not included, but unless you want the classical violin / cello pieces, I doubt you'll miss it. This set has every song you'll likely remember from Evangelion plus most (if not all) of the permutations of those songs. There were songs in this set that I didn't even realize I'd heard but upon going back, I did hear them!

The only other negative for me is that the case seems a little flimsy for 6 CDs that you'll want to pop out and play over and over and over again. I think having three slim dual-sided cases would've been a better choice for the amount of use these CDs get ... at least from me!

Buy and be satisfied that you own an amazing set of music suitable for any mood and especially wonderful if you are a gamer or anime fanatic (to the gamers: You *WILL* find music in this set that is suitable for just about any point in your game, no matter the genre, no matter the setting.)
