| Well, being the good little Eva-fan consumer whore I am, I just went out and bought the newly released Directors Cut DVD released in Australia. At the moment there is only one Directors' Cut DVD released, but apparently there will be a second one (I'm guessing with the final three episodes of NGE) It is three of the late episodes of Evangelion, but they are slightly different from those that were released with the series, with a few bits added or changed (as things usually are with Director's Cuts... duh...) It also includes the original episodes as well, and an interview with the WETA workshop guys doing the Live Action film Anyways, I was just wondering if anybody else has seen the Directors Cut? The changes are interesting, that's for sure. It was interesting to see an effect in the series that was used in the final End of Evangelion film too. The battle with Rei (self-destruct) was interesting in particular, I thought, but I also liked the additional insight into Asuka and the NGE world in the other two episodes. Anybody else seen it? Any thoughts? |

| I haven't seen it yet... We're still waiting for a release date in the UK, I think. I'm curious as to exactly how much footage has been added, because if it's only for a handful of episodes, it seems like a rip-off. I'm still going to buy it, though. It seems rather unfair that first they only put three episodes on a DVD, and then they split the extra footage across two DVDs. |

| Coby, as far as I know, there has only been one NGE movie. I'd be willing to buy the Directors Cut, just do finally get some anime on DVD. That is, of course, if I had any money to spare. |

| Lol, yeah well then it's probably that one. I could've sworn there were two though. O_o Anyway, I think it was called 'End of Evangelion' or something. | |||

| "End of Evangelion" was a remake of the final three eps of the series. They made the movie because of a giant upcry saying the original ending sucked. | |||

| Kasumi -- Yeah, I thought it was kinda a rip off when I found out it was only three episodes and a little extra footage, but when I think about it, I can't think of any other real way for them to present the additional stuff really. As for them having only three episodes on the DVD, technically it's six.... 3x original footage; 3x directors cut episodes.  Considering that they included the originals as well (for comparison, I guess) I don't think they could've fit the entirety of the directors' cuts on the ONE DVD... Where it DOES annoy me is that now I have a redundant DVD in my original series collection. Anyways, the changes in the directors' cut are certainly interesting and add a bit of insight into the Eva world. I was hoping it would resolve the longstanding "Who shot Ryouji Kaji?" mystery too, but... it didn't. But it bought up other questions.... As for Evangelion movies, there were two. "Death and Rebirth" which was more or less a rehash of the series packed into a movie, lots of fast cuts and switching between things, kinda a summary more than a film. And "End of Evangelion" which was a more "narrative" retelling of the end of the Evangelion series, after fans complained that the original ending sucked (more like "was not what they expected"). Anno provided them with the narrative that the fans requested in the film... but he didn't make it any more palatable than the original ending. |

| Taryn: I would've prefered a DVD with the six re-cut episodes, without the extra footage. Another possibility would've been adding in the re-cut episodes into the standard DVDs, as extras. Extras on ADV DVDs are very rare, and I think anime enthusiasts deserve a lot more for the standard DVD prices that they charge. End of Evangelion is a good way of re-telling episodes 25 and 26... How could anyone tie up such a colossal plot neatly? It's not going to be what everyone wants, the whole show was never intended to be like that. I do imagine a wry smile on Anno's face, with a finger up at the fans who sent him death threats when I watch End of Eva, though  |
