The Nikkan Sports newspaper reports on Tuesday that over 800,000 copies of the DVD and Blu-ray releases of Evangelion: 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance (Evangelion Shin Gekijōban: Ha) film have been pre-ordered. The film's Japanese home video distributor King Records will ship its release on May 26. According to King Records, Evangelion: 2.22's 800,000 pre-orders far surpasses the 500,000 copies in the first shipment for last year's hit film, the manga-based live-action Rookies: Graduation (Rookies -Sotsugyō-).
This second film in Hideaki Anno and Khara's four-part remake of Gainax's Neon Genesis Evangelion science fiction anime series was released in theaters last June under the title Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance. The film's "2.22" version is the extended Blu-ray/DVD cut with deleted scenes.
Even before it ships, Evangelion: 2.22's has already appeared several times on SoundScan Japan's Blu-ray sales ranking chart on the strength of pre-orders alone. The amazon.co.jp retail website announced that it alone received 88,000 pre-orders within a week of February 8, the day it started accepting orders.
