can't wait for the unreleased live action part. I read the translations of

'exploited' the series enough?

Evangelion No One Has Ever Seen
Gainax has released specific details of the "Renewal of Evangelion" Japanese
home video release. All of the Evangelion animation will be re-released in a
10 disc DVD boxed set that contains the entire 26 episode TV series
broadcast on Japanese television 7 years ago, the extended "director's cut"
versions of episodes 21-24, and the final edits of the Death and End of
Evangelion movies. The video footage will be entirely remastered to present
the best looking Evangelion ever seen and will include 2.0 and 5.1 audio
tracks. The new DVD set will also include 1 bonus disc of supplemental
material featuring non-credit opening and ending, trailers, and a never
before released "live action version of the film."

The Renewal of Evangelion DVD boxed set will be released in Japan on June
25th at a retail price of 39,800 yen. The individual DVDs will be released
separately beginning in July.

As a sneak preview of the remastered re-release, Gainax will release a "Neon
Genesis Evangelion 01 Test-Type" DVD on March 26th. This 30 minute DVD will
retail for 1500 yen and include the remastered TV episode 1 and a new music
video of "Zankoku na Tenshi no Teze."
