Christmas present from my gf. Merry Christmas everyone!

  • Congratulations! 💜👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

  • Oh shit! I spent $300 on mine, back when it first came out. There’s no guessing how much your girlfriend spent. She’s a keeper.

    So I just checked Amazon. Apparently the blu-ray version is still 300 bucks (which is insane if you ask me) the dvd version is 150. She got it on black friday though for ~90.

    The quality difference doesn't really bother me that much on a ~30 year old show, though I might look into getting EoE on blu ray. What I will say is that the audio is a bit... strange? It's the right dub but it seems higher pitched. I didn't have the time yet to look into it but I'm very used to how the voices would sound. I did a 1 on 1 comparison with a clip from YouTube and my gf says she can't hear a difference whatsoever. So maybe it's just me?

    And yes, she's the best.

    Is the edition you got not a Blu-ray? Apart from what I assume are age rating labels on the discs (they look like German ones but difficult to tell at that resolution) it looks exactly like the UK/US Ultimate Edition Blu-ray which doesn't have a DVD version

    This is the German edition, you can spot the colored age ratings on the CDs. The identical box came as Blu-ray and DVD version.

    It's the german edition on DVD. There is a blu ray version of this set as well.

    From what I gather the sound quality has to do with pal speedup. I'm kinda "new" to physical media (I'll admit to not having owned or touched a dvd/blu ray since I was like 10) and despite being tech savvy pal speedup is something I have never heard of until now. I guess there isn't much you can do.

    Surprised to hear that they made a whole DVD box set. Well, it should still look better than old DVDs if they downscaled from the HD remaster.

    If you’re looking for a German version, EoE had no Bluray release. Only movies available on Bluray are the rebuild movies.

    That's a bit odd. There is a blu ray version of this set so I assumed there would be a blu ray version of EoE inside?

    But that makes the price tag of 300 even more ridiculous tbh. From what I gather I can get the german dub on Blu-ray for 100-150.

    Yes EoE is in this box, I meant it’s not available standalone. And iirc because they couldn’t figure out something with the licensing rights either EoE or Death/Rebirth is subs only, even though both films were dubbed for dvd releases many years ago.

    God, I knew getting physical copies of EVA is tedious, but this is more of a mess than I expected.

    Well the company that did the dub with the release of the platinum DVDs doesn’t exist anymore and I guess the movies were done by yet another company and the current publisher just couldn’t determine who owns the movie dub now.

    So apparently both EoE and Death/Rebirth are subs only BUT I also have 25' and 26' on Disc 6 dubbed. So I have the full length movie with subs, but at the same time I have the movie separated into two episodes but with dubs.... What...

  • Cool merch, what is it cds

    NGE + Death and Rebirth+ EoE on DVD. Some nice art panels and a little info book as well!
