Product Description

Product Description

Neon Genesis Evangelion - Platinum: 01 is the first release of seven DVD volumes, which over the course of 26 episodes will include new cast and crew commentary, four bonus Directors' Cut episodes and seven animatics (moving storyboards). Each volume also includes a limited edition collector's slipcover in an exclusive metallic finish, limited to the first pressings only, and a one-of-a-kind numbered NERV parking decal (image below). The first pressing will also include profile booklets filled with screen shoots, Japanese commentaries and character profiles. The year is 2015, and half of the Earth's population is dead, victims of the disaster called Second Impact! Answering a summons from his enigmatic father, 14-year-old Shinji Ikari arrives in the rebuilt city of New Tokyo-3 just as a gigantic creature identified as an "Angel" attacks! Forced into the cockpit of a giant bio-mechanical construct known as an Evangelion, Shinji must defend the city from the rampaging Angel or die trying! The future is back like you've never seen it before, in Neon Genesis Evangelion: Platinum edition!

Set Contains:

The latest edition of Hideaki Anno's landmark series Neon Genesis Evangelion offers a flashy new 5.1 surround sound remix, but no new footage as Resurrection Director's Cut (episodes 21-23) and Genesis Reborn Director's Cut (episodes 23-26) did. The remix becomes apparent in odd moments, suggesting the echoes inside a boy's bathroom or the sound of a cleansing rain. But the directional sound is most evident during the battle with the Fourth Angel in episode 3. When the Angel destroys buildings and flings Shinji's Unit 01 against a hillside, the new mix makes a dramatic difference. Otaku who have invested in a 5.1 system and who don't already have the earlier edition will want the Platinum Collection. However, viewers who already own Evangelion probably don't need the new version. (Rated 15 and older: violence, minor profanity, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

5.0 out of 5 stars collectors quick reference guide

I purchased this and the rest of the individual dvds and I must say...I am very satisfied with this collection. it cost some money yes, but I love this series too much. watching the eva 1.11 and 2.22 made me fall in love again.

I figured I'd write up a quick summary of what the differences are amoung the FOUR platinum sets that are available to purchase. It took lots of research and surfing reviews and evangelion forums to distinguish the small differences.

I'll begin with the platinum collection slim pack. Its a great buy for someone that has not seen the series or is begininng to start a collection and whats to save money/shelf space. But, you will get what you pay for. There are NO extra features i.e commentaries, background info etc. yes, the director cuts are included.

The second one is the evangelion: complete platinum collection. It's the same as the slim pack, only it does NOT contain individual slim cases. Instead its the bulky case that has all the dvd's inside one case. Honestly, you are better off with the slim pack. Atleast it has cool art design per case and the pricing is better.

The next two are arguable as to which is considered the top tier collector item. The argument stems from what I've read in forums, but up to the buyer to decide. In myopinion it's the individually built platinum collection set which i will describe below. I own it aswell, cost a pretty penny but worth it.

The third set is actually self built. Meaning you have to buy the the dvds individually. eva: platinum collection 1 comes with a collector art box which you can insert the rest of the dvds in. It comes packed with extra features, commentaries and the last dvd #7 contains a special feature entitled, "mythology of evangelion" couple guys give their take on what the eva story is about. just food for thought and interesting to think about. what makes this set unique are the silver slim cases that comes with each dvd and the 12 page booklets in each case that contains back stories on all the eva's/angels/characters/significant events and some cool still pictures.

the fourth set is the Evangelion Platinum: Perfect Collection which comes in a large tin/metal colletor case housing all the original individual platinum dvds i described up top. this set contains all the features but does not come with the informative booklet OR the slim silver box per dvd. since the case is large your dvds will slide around.

hope this helps you narrow down your choice on which set to purchase and i hope you really enjoy the series as much as i have.

5.0 out of 5 stars At last, Evangelion remastered and restored!
Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2004

I bought this DVD with some skepticism as my previous experiences with ADV's release of the Evangelion series was less than stellar. The first editions featured edited animation and terrible mastering/picture quality. With this Platinum edition these mistakes have been corrected.

All Japanese text has been left intact and is now appended with English subtitles rather than outright deletion and replacement in the earlier editions. This in itself is something to celebrate for Eva purists.

The picture is superb. NGE has never looked this nice. Derived from the Eva-reissue in Japan about 2 years ago, the picture quality on these discs is excellent. Color and sharpness stand up to intense scrutiny on HDTV(Sony KV-32HS510).

The remastered audio, I only listened to the Japanese track, is a mixed bag. I really enjoy the sparse and spartan use of sound in Eva. Quite a few flourishes have been added to the new audio track found here. Then again I'm one of the few people I know who prefers the original eps 20-24 than what was remixed and released for LD in Japan.(recently released in the US by ADV as Director's Cut I believe?)

For Eva fans, I cannot endorse this edition of the series highly enough. The only downside is that it seems unlikely the US market will get the remastered versions of the three films because Manga owns the rights to those...By three films I mean:

<UL>

<LI> Evangelion Death : Evangelion Rebirth

<LI> The End of Evangelion: Air/My Pure Heart For You

<LI> Revival of Evangelion (which features Evangelion Death True 2 --note this is the version of Death released to the US market)

</UL>

Then again the Japanese box set that includes all that goes for between $600-1000 depending on your luck and has no subtitles.

when i first saw this anime it was in spanish because I want to peru, a year later and I finally have the first DVD. I swear from what I've seen so far this is one of the greatest stories ever told. At the end of the DVD I nearly cried and smiled at once. Shinji is probably the coolest main character I've ever seen. There has not been once when I thought "what was he thinking".But the main reason of that is because of the great storytelling that NGE holds. You might want to watch it more then once to understand what I mean, well that is if you can bear to stay away from it for mor that an hour. Yes its That good. I love the characters(all of them)so much I'll probably end up naming my kid Shinji.

You would think the first few episodes would be slow, but they couldn't get any better. You really grow to like the main character. He's not like other characters where they adapt to their new surroundings imediately. Watching these episodes will really make you want to watch the rest!
And am I the only one who really likes the beginning tune? It was stuck in my head for days!

Good kids stuff, but not a serious sci-fi film.
There are some wonderful artistic shots but the plot is weak, the characters underdeveloped and the artwork is basic.

Earth is under attack by large mechanoids (Angels) and the only defense is a similarly large mechanoid that must be piloted by a compatible teenager. The boy in question has little self confidence, but the show must go on...
