Summary: wow, what ignorance
Review: "A viewer from Arlen, TX USA" has obviously not seen the big-budget high-powered controversial grand amazing etc... end to the series entitled, "END OF EVANGELION: AIR + A PURE HEART FOR YOU". This TV show does not come to a close with the show's final epsidoes. Neither does it end with the movie, "Death and Rebirth". It ends with the movie, "End of Evangelion" (still unreleased in the US).Oh, and this DVD's cool, hehe. It's still a VHS transfer-DVD, arg, but it costs less than tapes.

Summary: brief synopsis
Review: After returning to NERV and resuming his pilot duties, Shinji and his friends meet the Second Child, Asuka Langley Soryu on a battleship carrying her Evangelion Unit to NERV. Their peaceful afternoon on the ship is interrupted by the arrival of Gaghiel, who attempts to destroy Asuka's Evangelion Unit and thus hinder NERV. This episode also shows viewers one of NERV's many terrible secrets. The following episode introduces my favorite particular angel, Ramiel, whose ultra-dense Absolute Terror Field can only be pierced by a blast from the experimental prototype SDF Positron Cannon. The only problem with this: the Positron Cannon requires an extremely large amount of energy, meaning that all of Asia must go without power while the Cannon is active. Worse still, Ramiel's powerful blasts and dense A.T. Field mean that whoever has the Cannon had better fire before Ramiel does and score a direct hit on the beast . This episode also offers more information on Rei Ayanami's true nature and origins. This DVD marks the beginning of EVA's shift from mecha/angel battles to introspective psychological discussion. The angels continue to get tougher, the pilots continue to slowly slide into insanity, and Anno's dark themes become ever more visible.

Summary: Gimme more gimme more!
Review: Again, when this disc is over, you're left wanting more. Like a drug addict looking for the next fix, you're running to the DVD store every other day to see if your order came in. (Least that's what I did). The DVD, like the first, is spectacular. Everything about it is great, except for the ADV previews but those are another matter. When you buy this disc, listen to it in its original format, not the dubbed version. You get more out of it, and it gives you a chance to dwell even deeper into the series. Go buy it!

Summary: Beware of ADV's transfer-to-DVD knowledge.
Review: As a great EVA fan, I purchased this DVD in order to own the series in it's maximum quality possible. Unfortunetally, it seems that publishers are still capable of publishing DVDs in bad quality, such as this one. The main issue here is the VIDEO. I don't know how these details got past ADV's eyes, but it seems that each time there is a cut or camera angla change, the screens in random directions, the cut occurs, and then it restabilizes. That is VERY hard on the eye! I was majorly dissapointed. Basically, let's say the camera's looking at Shinji, then cuts to Misato, the video moves around one inch left or right or up or down. Plus, there are many typing errors in the english subtitles. As a DVD, I'd give it only ONE star. But, because it's Evangelion, the content is still very awesome. Thus it BARELY deserves 3 stars. Personnaly, I'd buy the DVD from Japan, but since my DVD player cannot play it because of the region-code, and because there are no subtitles, I'm _FORCED_ to buy ADV's edition. Result: Me = Mad

Summary: Great series, picture could be sharper though.
Review: Evangelion is one of the finest series out there - perhaps my favourite. I was overjoyed when ADV decided to go full speed ahead after the excruciating wait for the 2nd volume. The episodes on this disc are very good. Lots of character delelopment on the mysterious Rei, and lots of action, including the very cool episode where EVA02 and Asuka are introduced. People should try to see all of the series, because, having seen it on video, it gets a lot more intense and involving, with some incredible fights and animation later on. My only gripe about the disc is that the overall picture quality lacks compared to other DVDs like Trigun and Ghost in the shell. Occasionally blurry and washed out, the picture is not as bad if played on an expensive player and TV, as opposed to a DVDrom. Still, the average picture quality should not put anyone off this superb series. Having the English and Jap languages is real bonus. The definitive verion of Evangelion to get.

Summary: This DVD has ISSUES!!
Review: I am a newer fan of this series and I enjoy it very much. That's all I'm going to say about the content/storyline of this dvd. Now the technical side of this DVD definitely has issues. I do agree that it is a much better quality (though still not exceptional) transfer than the first DVD of this series. But what kills me is how it "jumps" at LITERALLY every cut and edit. I haven't been able to make it though more than half of episode 5 yet because of it. I'll try to describe the problem better: Basically what happens is at every cut the entire picture shifts or scoots down. It only happens for the first 1 or 2 frames of each cut and then stays until the next cut. (What I mean by cut is basically a "camera" change. cut- to headshot of someone talking; cut - to headshot of person listening; cut - back to headshot of person talking etc.) So obviously a cut will happen an infinite amount of times during each episode. So for the entire picture to shift or drop down at every cut is going to be quite obvious and VERY ANNOYING. I popped in the the Neon Genesis volume 1 DVD to see if maybe I was on crack but it plays fine. I have a JVC XV-M65 dvd player and it plays every other dvd in the world just fine so I'm pretty sure it's not me. The problem is not in any of the menus or previews as far as I can tell - just the episodes themselves. SO - if you can get past this (which hopefully I eventually will) I'm sure you will enjoy the dvd. But for those of you are more serious dvd watchers or have large TV's - it just might drive you nuts - so be warned.

Summary: I love this series!
Review: I can't find anything I like more than the Evangelion series, this is really worth watching! The plot is complex and the animation is really excellent. Though there is some violence, I did not find it any more offensive that regular (commercial) TV.

Summary: The plot thickens.
Review: I enjoy this series alot. I am a mecha freak and although the action is not always combat like I enjoy, the action is still interesting and clever.
The main strength of the series is it's characters. Even crybaby Shinji Ikari has his own charm as does the lady of mystery Rei.
But all the characters have deapth and the girls are nice eye candy as well, especially Misato ;)
The only dull episode on this DVD is the one about the alternate to the EVA'S. It is also the episode with the worst animation. But the rest of the DVD is of a high standard. If you like the first DVD then this is a definite buy.
