Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
The new 5.1 surround sound remix for Hideaki Anno's watershed Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995) works most effectively in the battles with the Angels, and these episodes offer two epic combat sequences. In episode 6, Shinji tackles Ramiel, the Fifth Angel, using a special rifle that requires all the electrical power in Japan. The eerily quiet scenes of the darkening archipelago contrast sharply with the furious energy beam attacks that follow. The arrival of arrogant, temperamental Third Child Asuka Sohryu makes life even more miserable for Shinji. In episode 9, he and Asuka use a perfectly coordinated combination of gymnastic and dance movements to defeat Israfel, the Seventh Angel. As the remixed episodes contain no new footage, they're really for viewers who've installed a 5.1 system, but who don't already have this landmark series. (Rated 15 and older: violence, minor profanity, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best re-releases getting better..., October 4, 2004

By	Takahashii (Amersfoort, Netherlands) - See all my reviews

This is the second DVD in the Neon Genesis Platinum collection, a re-make of the original Neon Genesis Evangelion Anime series with enhanced picture and audio quality. The animation has been restored and improved to "modern" standards so that this DVD will produce a very crisp and clear picture. Next to that they have also enhanced the sound tracks; the original Japanese audio is available in 5.1 surround and the English audio tracks have been reworked as well. I hope that it will be re-assuring to know that if you're already used to the English dubs of the original serie that you'll feel right at home listening to this one.

Next to that this DVD also features new contents, even though some scenes may be very hard to spot if you have no material as comparison. You may very well consider the Platinum series to be the full batch of the Director Cut's.

There are 5 Evangelion episodes on the disk (6 through 10: Rei II (also known as 'Showdown in Tokio 3'), A human work, Asuka Strikes!, Both of you: Dance like you want to win!, Magma diver) as well as some extra 'fan service' ;-)

So on to the special treats... As the name already points out the Platinum series isn't just a mere re-run. Next to the improvements mentioned above this DVD is shipped in a silver cover ("slip over") which features a line drawing of Rei in her plugsuit on the front and a description of whats on the DVD on the back. The DVD box itself lists about the same plus on the back the episode names written out in Kanjii and the original air dates.

Then there's a 12 page booklet inside which describes the episodes, features some very nice pictures from the series and gives you some insight info on the encountered Angels as well.

And finally the reason why I think things are getting better... On the first DVD we were only treated with 2 audio commentary tracks as well as the always present clean opening and ending (yes, the opening/closing are also present on this DVD). This DVD features an audio commentary track with Tiffany Grant (English voice actress for Asuka) and Allison Shipp (English voice actress for Misato).

And then there's what I consider the real treat: an Animatic for episode 9 (Both of you; dance like you want to win!). Here we are treated with the episode containing only original material: drawings in poor quality (read the stories about the original material getting worse? Now you can see for yourself) as well as line drawn sketches of scenes and producer notes. Now _this_ is getting the fans what they want in my opinion!

So there you have it... Now for a closing personal comment: if you are a fan of the series then there is no way around this release when considering the extras on the disk. And when looking at the fact that they have shipped 10 episodes (almost half of the original amount of 26) on 2 disks (so the first 3 disks may very well list the whole first half of the serie) I can't help wonder if the Platinum serie will have 6 "episode disks" and one "bonus disk". That could be a real treat...

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, December 18, 2007

By	Jose Miguel Sarria "Salsa" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It has been almost 7 years since I've seen the series which was telivised back in the day. Though back then in my early teen years I didn't quite understand the meaning and the messages behind this great story, I was captivated by the artistic movement of this series. This collection shows the series just like it was telivised, but it has an alternartive las four episodes which shows deleted secenes and extra things. Though I feel kinda teased about the fact that they only show the last four episodes and not the whole series (meaning deleted scenes and stuff). I'm not giving it a thumbs down...I defenetly recommend it. This is great stuff.
