I think this DC will be the deleted scenes in episodes 21 - 24 (as stated), but is in no way related to the Revival. The Revival is a seperate Japanese project which has not at all been announced (or licensed) in the states. In essence, this is a seperate DC that may or may not be the final versions. If you ask me, I think ADV will release the new discs 7 and 8...wait...announce they have the Revival a few months later and then release those with the DC *and* remastered footage (better footage).

well this sucks ... and i'm supposed to get my box set on wnesday ... bah ... i'll take the shit as it hits the fan ... when the revival gets relieased with english subs i'd have to do soem thinking about wether i really want it badly enough. I know one thing ... once revival gets released as a perfect box set with english subs your going to see a lot of NGE: Perfect box sets on Ebay, and probalby for some good prices too.

well depends how good the prices are, might pick one up, wait 30 years then sell it as an antique with the label 'how gainax screwed thousands of loyal fans', it will be a winner

Boxsets been out around 1 - 2 years. It was during my senior year in college which was last year. Unsure if it was the fall or spring.

I wonder if they realize that by doing this people are going to be more reluctant to buy DVD's.

I think the bigger question would be do they care? For all we know they could just be pushing our buttons and trying to see just how much we'll give in to them.

i had an idea about writing about monopolizing the industry ... but then it hit me like a truck that i really know nothing about how Anime is distriobuted in the states ... so hopefully this will cue somone who is more knoledgable in the topic to pick up my argument where i left off ... which is pretty much at the drawing board ...

AMV gets anime, look at it, write a half arse piece of crap about it wang it on a dvd, put the dvd together in 60 seconds (why make it good, its only for anime fans after all!!) then throw it at a handfull of stores and leave a couple of months between dvds.........oh sorry, you mean america, well i have no idea, i was discribing what happens in the UK,
