Summary: A precursor of things to come.
Review: DVD 0:5 is *great* if you've been following the series. I don't suggest getting this, or any other, unless you start from 0:1 and go in order. You just won't know what's supposed to make sense and what's not. The series makes a drastic turn for the serious in these episodes (and from then on,) so get ready to discover a few new things, and raise a LOT more questions. The first and last episodes on it are mostly storyline forwarding, but it's still really exciting. The middle episode does have some fighting, but not that much. Still, it's highly recommended, as it just reveals so much more.

Summary: Simply Amazing....can't wait for Disc 6
Review: I just started watching this series on DVD, I haven't seen it before, but the reviews on the VHS tapes prompted me to check it out. Also, at first I was really skeptic about it, but when fans of the "Cowboy Bebop" series started talking about which series was the all time best(note:these two series are nothing alike, except the fact they're both masterpieces) . I only have one regret to owe this series, I wish I could buy the entire series on DVD and not have to wait for upcomming releases. This series is so good, I'm almost tempted to buy episodes #20-26 on VHS...In my opinion nothing sounds or looks better than DVD, especially with an HDTV and 5 speakers(2 front, 2 surround, 1 center channel) and a powered sub on 5:1 Dolby Digital audio. Disc 5's continuation of the story is awesome, I became depressed knowing that I would have to wait for Disc 6 on April 17th. Anyways, Shinji is congratulated by his dad and scores high on his sync test. So when all three Evas and their pilots fight the next Angel, Shinji gets worked up and too ambitious, while not following orders something goes awry. You'll also learn some of the secrets of NERV and understand why Kaji has been acting so suspicious. If you thought three Eva pilots wasn't enough, then you'll be happy, seems as if a 4th child is on the way and you'll never guess who it is. The thing I liked about this and the rest of the series is the wild and zainy antics of the characters while they are not in action, it makes for a compelling yet wild drama. So expect some more suprises out of your favorite characters in Disc 5 when they're off the set of NERV... If your just getting into Anime or have been in it and like me havent seen this series when it was released on VHS, this is a definite must buy on DVD or VHS!

Summary: This is the genesis of weridness
Review: I think that this series overall is one of the better anime out there. There are so many to chose from and it is hard without knowledge to chose good from bad. That being said this is the DVD where the series takes a turn. It is still very good. But the mecha action that prevailed in the early episodes starts to drop off.
What replaces it is a hell of alot of weridness. Some of it is very cool. Ideas about what the angels are and what is really going on, as well alot that Nerv has been hiding.
But it also the beginning of some serious soul searching by Shinji. That would not be so bad if he wasn't such a whiner. Overall I still think the series is good and this DVD is well worth the buy. But be prepared for a different path than the one we started on.

Summary: Not Really better
Review: I think this DVD series isn't really better than the VHS Version, i saw the series for the first time form original VHS from a rent video store, and i must say the quality in this DVD its NOT BAD but isn't EXCELENT either, it could be better(i know this is a VHS based recopilation), so i rate this DVD 4 Star for the content, I think no one who owns the Original VHS verion need to buy this, if you saw the series in the horrible VIVO format, you must get this one, after all its less expesive than VHS, and you get litte more Quality. VEREDICT: This is the best you can get: 4 languages, Good Picture (some stability image problems), Subtitles, Extras. A good Buy if you buy this series for the first time. Sorry About my BAD English

Summary: Worth your time
Review: I've read people complain about the quality of the DVD menues, etc. Don't let that stop you from purchasing this DVD. This story is wonderfully written, and the animation is superb. It is definately worth your tie even if you don't like this particular genre. The characters are very in depth and well written. I enjoyed this series thuroughly. I bet you would too.

Summary: "Tear open the door to your heart."
Review: If the previous DVD's story was a hint that nothing is quite what it seems, in the three episodes here, the scales begin to fall away, almost without warning. We will only encounter one Angel, but the interplay of the characters is so intense that one hardly notices. In addition, the steady pace of revelations about, NERV, SEELE, and the Human Instrumentality Project leave the viewer as unnerved as the characters. The first episode, "Lie and Silence," has Misato trying to deal with her own interior loneliness and her ambivalent feelings about Ryoji Kaji, would be lothario and suspicious character. Confronted by a series of unnerving discoveries that includes the remains of the first Angel secreted in the chambers below NERV headquarters, Misato finds herself questioning NERV's true agenda. In the next episode, "Sickness unto Death, and...," is one of the most terrifying episodes thus far. Shinji and Unit 01 are trapped in the interior field of an Angel that does not seem to exist and the boy's hallucinations strip him down to a fragile core. When this triggers impulsive action on the part of the EVA, everyone, pilots and staff, suddenly realizes that the EVA's are much more than robot slaves. And that their true nature may be just as dangerous to man as the angels. This episode lays the groundwork for the tragedies to come. In an inexplicable event EVA 04 and the entire secondary NERV site vanish without a trace. Gendo Ikari's bleak ruminations leave us with little doubt that he has his own priorities, and even Misato becomes suspicious of the speed at which the fourth child, Toji Suzuhara, is identified. In a stream of small betrayals, the tension between the characters mounts. It becomes clear that the destruction of the angels has a timetable of its own, and is being used to mask both SEELE's expectations and Gendo Ikari's own intentions. In the middle are the pilots, victims of the ambitions of others. The more human they become, the stronger grows the sense of some impending inexorable fate.
