Looks like it's got a release date. If you liked the first one, (Evangelion 1.11 You are (not) alone), 2.22 You can (not) Advance is coming out March 29.

I'm buying it

I'm renting it When they are all out, I will see about picking up the set. I want to see how they decide to end it, since we know there are various "endings" to the series, so that will determine what I do.

Have the Region 3 DVD and pre-ordered this Funimation Blu-Ray release December of last year. Amazon sent notice my 2.22 copy shipped out yesterday and am expecting it the end of the week. 1.11 was good, 2.22 is AWESOME....

1.11 was pretty good, but like I said in my review of it, if you've seen the whole series, this "distilled" version leaves a lot of background info out. It is much more "to the point", which isn't a bad thing to some extent since the first two or three episodes of the series gave you far too little information

I'm confused, are these the entire series coming out, or just chapters of the story? I loved the entire series, are there plans to release a boxed set?

Each disc is a few episodes chopped down and combined into one long segment. They have been updated with new additional digital animation that, at least on the first one (since I haven't seen the second), is extremely well integrated in. As I mentioned, I am waiting to see what they do with the ending before deciding to buy these, as well as whether or not they have a box set of them.

I have not seen the original Evangelion series, but these rebuild movies are a retelling of the series in a different manner from all accounts. 1.11 follows its corresponds episodes closely, but from what many have said, 2.22 takes Evangelion on a new direction in a different manner from what happened in the original TV series.

I don't know about a boxed set, but it would be years down the road from now if there is one judging on the release cycle...

As for Evangelion 2.22 Blu-Ray...the audio is just WOW...I'd put it right behind The Sky Crawlers for detail/surround use and overall sound quality.
