@IncendiaryLemon: Ahh, yes. The infamous pillarboxed letterboxed picture.
Sorry, I thought you meant Manga had used the wrong thickness of borders for the 4:3 image, making it the wrong aspect ratio or something.
But yeah, EoE was also available on VHS, I believe, which obviously is very much part of the 4:3 era. I guess they must've used the same source image for the DVD? (It's plenty blurry enough.) Plus, they just culled a faulty fansub from the Web to use as subs for the film, so they might as well!
Honestly, as much as a BD would be nice, if Manga were to just do a reauthored DVD of EoE, that'd be great. Hell, I think it was recently re-released on DVD in Japan, so there's already a good video source out there.
