I have not found anything but it is more than likely the original source was not found or available. Note: Episode 16 SPLITTING OF THE BREAST seems to be pulled from a Video source as the quality of the image is severely degraded as compared to the rest of the series.

Bravo all around for the upgrade/restoration of the show. That also goes for the sharpness and color reproduction in each episode. The image has great contrast levels and black levels that streaming can never produce.

The full bit/rate allowed in all of these episodes just smashes any streaming service version of the show to pieces. The time and care that they’ve taken with ensuring the transfers in this edition were near perfect has to be commended. The Show looks the best that it has ever looked (that includes on Netflix). As most big idea/concept shows suffer from explanation shrinks the power of mystery. Though many of us that are open and receptive to the original ending will find nothing a fault but still find the mystery being unveiled a little disappointing.

Which is the whole purpose of this endeavor in the first place. No doubt many will find this ending more satisfactory. The finale feels as it’s a part of the same universe as the first ending but suffers from “show a lot more” that was implied. Though the live-action section of THE END OF EVANGELION is poetic and self-reflexive to fandom in a way that is unexpected, beautiful, and sharply critical. My preference is the original ending as conceived as it feels like a big swing and not as closely referenced to 2001: A Space Odyssey as this new remixed edition is. Though many will find this ending as oblique as the original there is a bit more of a narrative finality to it that the original ponderous two episodes had. The newer reconceived ending which is the entirety of THE END OF EVANGELION is still not a traditional ending but feels like a bit more fan service than the original oblique ending. One can look at EVANGELION:DEATH(TRUE)2 as a crass cash-in but the recap is so artfully edited that one can fault them.

Essentially a recap of all 24-episodes of the series including a newly conceived ending to satisfy Fan-Rage. So much so, the creators tried to correct their wrong with EVANGELION:DEATH(TRUE)2. It’s common knowledge that most of Japan and Anime fans around the world hated the ending to Evangelion in its first iteration. Long before Lost or Game of Thrones there were ending to pop culture events that fandom outright rejected. Note: reviewed together as they are essentially tied to one another containing the Recap and the remade versions of Episode 25 and Episode 26.

The originally appeared on the Original TV Series during its airing. Please Note: The international re-release of NEON GENESIS EVANGELION does not contain “FLY ME TO THE MOON” in its end credits in any of its home video editions. The themes grow out of the characters we invest in. Everything within the story feels organic and never forced.

Evangelion is as adroit as a Sci-Fi series has been produced. It is elevated by its themes of the very nature of humanity, our relationship with technology, religion, creation, death, and ourselves. Neon Genesis Evangelion is far beyond some normal kick-ass sci-fi Mechas vs Kaiju series. Slowly they along with the people that hurt and protect the Children begin to realize there is something larger going on. As this group of Children grows in number and skill the toll is taken on them. As these Children have the weight of the world on their shoulders they are pushed and prodded by their Government Minders, the various Politicians and Scientists whose motives are shadowy, to say the least. The show follows a group of Children Test Pilots of EVA, Mechas designed to defend Earth from the Angels, an extra-terrestrial race whose motivations for destruction are not known. Its reach is as diverse as The Wachowskis, Rick and Morty, Guillermo Del Toro, Gravity Falls, even as recently as the Disney+ Animated Series What If … ? (the episode “What If Tony Stark Never Became Ironman”, you’ll see…), Kong vs Godzilla (the iconic Battleship fight was lifted almost frame for frame from Episode 8). Not just in Japan where it literally saved a floundering Anime industry but worldwide. The influence of Neon Genesis Evangelion has on popular culture cannot be understated.
