Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Complete Series [Blu-ray]

Highly recommended!
Extremely cool and will always go down as one of the classics. An emotional rollercoaster, but a must watch for any true fan of manga or anime.

OG Eva fan here. I actually liked this dub!
NGE is my favorite tv anime ever. Theatrical films are nice but the original TV+End of Eva movie will always be my favorite.I made the mistake a few years back of listening to 'certain' sensationalist anime-Tubers who were busy on the "Netflix dub" meme/complain bandwagon at the time. Because I've been a fan of the old ADV dub, I took their word for it and that was it.But once I started watching said netflix/Shout Studios dub, It wasn't bad at all. After settling in a few episoes, it felt nice to hear a new cast take on such a iconic anime. And I commend them for that.Of course the most obvious omission that was mentioned by others - Fly Me To The Moon on each episode credits is missing. Guess studio didn't want to pay a little extra for licensing. Instead variants of Rei themes plays on the credits. Not a huge deal.The visual/audio quality on this Blu-ray is excellent, and a nice case+sleeve worth collecting and displaying on the shelf.

Masterpiece with a potential caveat
A classic, a masterpiece, an icon. All this and more. This set has all 26 episodes of the legendary series with the end of Evangelion movie and a recap movie to finish it off. It’s what you’ll find on Netflix and for some that may be a problem. This set only contains the original Japanese and the new dub made for Netflix a few years back, meaning that fans of the series from the late 90’s and early 2000’s won’t be able to return to their original experience through this set, which is very unfortunate as the price gap between this and the other blu ray sets that include that dub is significant. It’s a greedy practice and an insult, one made solely to drain from the fans who wanted to get what they had all those years ago because the companies involved knew they would be willing to pay extra for it. Is this set worth it then? If you were introduced to the series with the recent dub as I was then it might not be a huge issue and if you watch subbed then the only thing you’d be missing from the collectors sets are some bonus trinkets, which isn’t a huge deal in my eyes but if you’re passionate about the series you might already own the series a few times anyway. Is this set worth it? Yes. It’s affordable and it’s decent and even though it was made purposely lacking, it’s still too good for that to seriously effect that.

It is going to be a present, so I haven't watched it. The item arrived in good condition and on time.

The best way to watch if you're new fan of Evangelion
I got into Evangelion 2 years ago thanks to Netflix and also since I don't watch dubs I don't care that the original 90s (the '90s stuff is good I've heard snippets but honestly what do you expect why would that version be here over the Netflix one that would have been way more difficult for them to put in no wonder why it's only in the collector's edition) I also don't care that fly me to the moon isn't in the credits anymore. That's basically it that's like the only two changes which are not really important at all unless you're into the dubs I highly recommend this it's easily the best collection for multiple reasons especially the price like this is like a steal for 30 bucks that is super cheap for this series and I'm surprised it's not like 80

A bone fide classic
I absolutely love this series, flaws and all. Easy to recommend, some of the best characters you'll find anywhere, and a fully realized world. Some issues with the main character and the last 2 episodes of the season lost it that 5th star, but it's still one of my all time favorites.

Neon Genesis Evangelion * Project Eva *
One of the most powerful, visually stunning, and intellectually probing anime that I have ever watched. Presented on Blu-ray for the first time in North America. It’s totally groundbreaking, action packed and visually stunning from creator Hideaki ANNO it’s been hailed as one of the most important anime series of all time in the world.In my opinion, I totally agree - remarkable fusion of genetics and genres this series is a powerful examination of the relationship between human and machine. This is NOT a SKYNET takeover from the Terminator franchise at all. I highly suggest and recommend anyone who reads this review to purchase this outstanding history making series.With that said, this has been G-MAN ofG-MAN’S TOY REVIEWS on YouTube.Peace!

Ordered by happy accident
I was thinking that this might be something else but it fits perfectly with my collection! Don’t know if I will be collecting more of these but still glad to have this.
