If you want it remember to get it ASAP! Remember this is a very limited run.
Neon Genesis Evangelion Premium Collection (UK VERSION)
- Thread starter Ninja Boy!
- Start date
Its funny, but two or three years ago I would always have put video games ahead of DVD's. Yet now its the opposite principal! How things have changed.
Don't know why I mentioned that really. Still, I've had this pre-ordered since it was announced on Play.com and I've only ever watched the series once (I haven't seen any of the Director's Cut material either), so I'm looking forward to this.

I suspect you're right. Later down the line, another kind of boxset will probably appear.
Still, I've ordered the Platinum boxset from Play.com at £66.99 and I worked out even if I got the individual platinums in a sale, as a collective all-in-one purchase the boxset (for the time being anyway) will be cheaper than them individually. So from my angle, I would say the price for this, for what you get, is about right.
Though the retail recommended price of £99.99 is very expensive in my opinion (I mean, that's a £33 difference when buying it online).

Oh come on the extras were excellent. Commentaries on each disc, even if you didn’t like those there were original animatics, a 45 minute look at the mythology of Eva, a look into the creation and cleanup of the dub and some other fun bits and bobs. As Anime DVD's go they were some of the best extras yet. :roll:
I treat extra features really obscurely now I think about it. I like to have extra features, but I rarely watch and / or listen to them. However, I like to have them there because I know that later down the line I will watch / listen to them.
Don't see why I needed to write that but thought I'd mention it.

I'll give you the Animatics as they were pretty cool to see but the rest about the English dub, sound mixing, a guys interpretation of the series and a depressing glimpse of Tiffany Grant are not something that interested me.butch-cassidy said:
The short interviews with people who were involved in the actual creation of the show on the SAC DVD's are better than most of those extras put together in my opinion.
I though the extra's were great but the first 5 volumes or so were all that great. Part from the booklet inside most of the voice over commetaries were pretty annoying since there is some much that they could be talking about and all they do is talk about them self's. Later volumes are great talking in deeth about the angels and the like. I bought them all singler cost me hell of alot of money compared to the the boxset missed that deal.

Why and in what way was this depressing?
I haven’t seen NGE yet as I’m waiting for this box set. And even then I’ve got to wait till Xmas to watch it. I so can’t wait though!
Plus I rarely watch anything dubbed preferring subbed so I don’t really know a lot about any of the regular English VA’s.

We are shown around her collection of Asuka merchandise. She is a huge anime fan girl and having met her in real life, in a good way. I personally didn’t think it was depressing in the least more fun than anything else.
That sounds rather good to me. It’s nice to know that some VA’s have an enthusiastic passion for the subject to which they owe their employment.
Having listened to an episode commentary and an interview with some actresses (including Tiffany Grant, Monica Rial and Hilary Haag) on a Noir DVD I got the impression that some of them aren’t much impressed by anime. In fact at times they were bordering on taking the piss.
