Summary: Good anime, but not for everyone
Review: Evangelion is, indeed, one of the biggest things to hit the anime scene for a long time, and chances are good you'll enjoy it, but be warned, it's not for everyone.

If you want classic giant robot actiion, it might work for you, but it's not really in genre for them at all, despite their presence. This is serious mind-boink territory, not Mazinger Z.

If you want a story where the protagonists win, or at least break even, do not buy this series.

If you want to empathise with the characters, for GOD'S SAKE, don't buy this series - if you can put yourself in any of their places you'll be a suicide risk by the end.

If you like musing on the nature of good and evil, exploring how to force a spineless feeb to be couragous in battle, and don't mind a plot full of 'secret backstory' that Anno has publically admitted he made up as he went along, adding more confusing hints to something else whenever he came up with a resolution to an earlier one, then by all means, buy Evangelion.

Personally though, I can't stand it. I bought the first three DVDs, then waited and rented the rest after hearing about the ending. Having seen it, I then microwaved the ones I owned, cooincidentally at the same time as I nuked Austin Powers II.

Summary: Perfect
Review: This set is perfect for the price. I've loved evangelion for a long time and bought the dvds as they came out like a whole lotta people have...adv is also selling a box by itself to complete the collection...seriously pick this one up if you don't have em already.

Summary: Two Thumbs Up!!
Review: If you want to see something that challenges all that you believe, something that is unusual, dramatic, and, in a way, annoing. Evangelion is known in the Occidental world for the use of Religious symbols, especially Catholics. If you're new to the Anime, this series will be a great challenge to understand, but really there are AMAZING. A must Have.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: NGE rules
Review: Excellent character driven anime series. *VERY* indepth psychologically complex characters. Only word of warning is alot of the deeper symbolism may go over some viewers heads; everything in this series means something, even the design of the Evas, alot of things will make more sense on subsequent viewings as they can get missed. The final two episodes have been remade as a movie. Asuka is the best!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not enough!!!
Review: For Anime fans who're just starting their DVD collection, buying this Box set is a great start. For the fans who already bought all 8 DVDs check out AnimeOnDVD.com to see where they could purchase the Box by itself. One annoying thing I would consider is this. There will be TWO Evangelion movies that are coming out on DVD soon, and this Box only fits for EIGHT. Think about it. ADV should have design the box size to fit TEN. I'm removing one star for that. It's not enough!!!

Summary: A must have
Review: I've watched this series before on VHS awhile ago and always wanted to get it, but never could find all the DVDs now this is the way to get them in a box set, cause a lot of the time single discs can be hard to find.
Now for what I have to say about this show: The characters are very cool and likeable even though the main character at the begining can be a pain with his whining.
The battles are totaly awesome.
And the ending...don't want to ruin it, but it'll make you think thats all I have to say.

If you never watched this show buy this DVD box set, heck even if you watched the show you have to buy this DVD box set.

Summary: Neow Genesis Evangelion Perfect Collection DVD
Review: I really liked this series and this is a great way to get it for a cheap price. I think anyone that likes anime has to like evangelion and i think it is because it is action packed, funny and is a futuristic view of our world.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Anime Ever
Review: This was the first anime series I had ever watched, but after just the opening I was hooked for life. Stunning animation, wonderful music, characters that you truly care about (if only Shinji would stop whinning), action which keeps you on the edge of your seat (and constantly putting the next DVD in ithout a break), Evangelion is the Holy Grail of anime.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Thanks ADV.....for nothing.
Review: As someone who was completely hooked to Neon Genesis from the frist time I saw it, I eagerly purchased each DVD as they came out to try and keep some continuity to the series As a whole, the series is unbeaten by any other anime series out their in terms of its originality and creativity.
However, I am not happy at all with the way ADV approached releasing this DVD set. For the first two DVDs, 4 episodes came on each disk. Once they hit DVD 3 however, only 3 episodes came on each disk for the same cost. Several months later, ADV then decides to sell a complete box set of the entire series for probably 40-50% less than what I paid to buy each DVD separately. I applaud ADV for releasing this amazing series to DVD but now feel betrayed by the way they went about this. Hopefully enough people will let ADV know that such behavior is not appreciated, especially by those who waited for months just to get a complete set.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you missed it the first time...
Review: Now's your chance! The most controversial anime series in its entirety! Some of the series may not make sense because of all the outside information that was researched for it, such as the Lance of Longinus. The ending may leave you wanting, but the movies will be released in dubbed format later this year, so they will clear up most of the loose ends. Rarely has there been a series so thought-provoking as Evangelion. It disguises itself as an ordinary show at first, so you must be willing to watch it completely. Not all in one sitting, of course.
