Well, this was somewhat of a disapointing experiment. Not only is there no dubbing (not that I really care) but there were no subtitles at all, and the DVD menus are bare bones at best. Plus, I don't know if this was just a bad printing or what, but whenever there was a cut between scenes (practically every few seconds) the picture would shift to the right, change scenes, then shift back to the left. This got VERY annoying...

What is the plus side to this? Well, it is on DVD, and it won't wear out, but with such a jerky picture, I probably wouldn't watch it all that much anyway... I hope GAINAX, or ADV get's their act together when or if they decide to release them here in the states (which I really hope they do! And Subtitled Please!!) Until then, I'll probably not import anymore Evangelion DVD's. I'll just bide my time, and wait.

Please remember that this is a Region 2 encoded disc, and requires a DVD player from Japan, or a computer DVD player set to Region 2 decoding. Unless you have a DVD player that can read any disc... which I doubt exist. :)
