Yep, I wish like the devil that they would have just released the whole darn boxset. 1 DVD at a time... a bunch of crap.

I will be buying the boxset when it eventually comes out, but I'm afraid it won't be as yummy as I hope it to be.

Necroposting = A-OKAY by me.

I didn't realize it was common practice to take a series that was released in "Vol. 1 + box, then the other volumes separately" form and release the entire box set together later on.

Oh...I thought it was digitally painted, had new scenes, and was more true to the way the directors wanted it to be seen.

It was just a tiny touch up? I see.

It is common practice. To name a couple series that have done that - Berserk, Noir.

You know, they're beating this so muck into people's heads.

Eventually Evangelion will be another one o those Animes that give people the impression of being purely commercial (which couldn't be further from the truth) and not worth watching (which, again, couldn't be further from the truth if it took an F-16 to LIE). Sure, they might make a little money out of it, but they're wearing off the image of NGE. That's very bad for everyone (except people who don't like NGE, but im my prejudicial oppinion these people aren't worth mentioning). These big companies should know when to stop.


It saddens a fan like me...

Does what fools think matter so much to you? Evangelion is being released in a better version. What's wrong with that? It's better to have the better version available to those who want to buy it (and those who want a full boxset that contains the crucially important "Director's Cut" scenes) then to simply leave us with the inferior version for the sake of not being commercail.

If you ask me, being uncommercail just for the sake of being uncommercail is like being anti-establishment just to be cool. If people refuse to watch something because it's been released a lot of times then they are freaking idiots that will live without the splendor of Evangelion. What kind of a serious mind would assume that just because something is released over and over again that it can't be great?

What makes me sad is that less people will get to see EVA (even if they are dickholes, because one thing that NGE does to an immature audience is MAKE THEM MATURE. Otherwise they can't handle them. I know because that was my case)

It certainly won't make everyone mature. (Although I do fully support the Evangelion For Kids initiative)

I still don't get it. People are going to be like "Geez, Evangelion is being released.... it must suck."

If you don't think people that don't like Evangelion aren't worth mentioning, why would you care about people who are much stupider than that?
