Hey,

What do you all think of the new DVD boxset comming out? Personally, I can't wait for the unreleased live action part. I read the translations of the screenplay and it looks awesome (providing it's the same thing). Of course the 5.1 and remastering can't be bad... but maybe they have 'exploited' the series enough?

Also, does anyone know what versions the movies will be? I heard they are the 'final' versions. Which are those... ture^2 ?

The translation can be found @ http://www.evaotaku.com/html/liveaction.html

What I heard:
After much speculation and rumour as to what exactly "Renewal of Evangelion" was to be, 
we can now inform you on the exact details. Bandai will release a 10 disc DVD boxed set - 
The Renewal of Evangelion DVD boxed set will be released in Japan on June 25th.

Features will include:

- The entire 26 episode TV series, 
- The extended "director's cut" versions of episodes 21-24. 
- The final edits of the Death and End of Evangelion movies. 
- All video will be remastered and will also include a 5.1 audio track. 
- 1 bonus disc of extras featuring non-credit opening and ending, trailers, 
  and a never before released "live action version of the film."

Newtype (Japan) in their March edition will also include a comparison between new 
and old video quality on their free Region 2 DVD.
