Wow, no American Release Death and Rebirth Topic?
So, what do you think then? - I'd like to know why the FUCK they didn't make it standard 720*480 .. left that STUPID black box around it. GREAHHH!

The "stupid black box" is on the original Gainax release too. It's to prevent clipping on tvs - you only notice it on a PC.
I think the most objectionable thing is that it's not actually Rebirth on the disc. It's just the first mins of End of Eva. Rebirth is actually a little different to the thing you have on that DVD.

HAHAHAH, I own this DVD. This is my first product of Neon Genesis Ever, and what a perfect way than by getting the brand new Death and Rebirth.
Damnit, this is so hardcore!!!!!!!! I own it, brand new, too. I won it off ebay, so I am also getting it cheaper. I am so happy, what about you people?
And if there is no Rebirth on the disc, then where is the real Rebirth?

ok Death is the non-chronological "eva recap" with some extra scenes that werent included in the TV broadcast.
Rebirth is a teaser for End of Evangelion which is 'basically' the first 30 mins of end of eva.
However, it is actually a little different. Some of the voices and music were rerecorded for the final version End of Eva and there are some other differences too.
However, Manga Video didnt seem to appreciate this difference and just stuck on the first 30 mins of End of Eva. So it's pretty useless, really.

I disagree, I think Death is an interesting movie (and it is a movie) in its own right.
It's unfortunate that they have omitted the real Rebirth but it wont matter to most people.
Death might sound like a ripoff as it's "just a summary" but it's much more than that really. In a way it was a "this is all the stuff you should have been paying attention to when watching eva" - and it does include interesting scenes that aren't in the normal tv version.
The problem is that Death and Rebirth isnt really designed for us - it was designed as a teaser for the final movie. That's all very well if you are in Japan in the late 90s but here and now Death and Rebirth dont really mean much to us as many of us have already seen the movie and are just waiting for it to be released.
However, I still think it's worth seeing Death but the Manga Video release isn't very good for collectors as it doesnt have the real version of Rebirth.
