This release represents yet another version of Evangelion on DVD. Actually,that’s not quite right. The Neon Genesis Evangelion Platinum:Perfect Collection will consist of the previously available Platinum releases of Eva[not the thinpack collection versions that were stripped of extras, but the single release versions, which had a obedient number of extra features].
Also, this Evangelion location does not have the informative booklets from the individual “Neon Evangelion Genesis: Platinum” DVD volumes. Too poor, as those contained a lot of involving trivia and info on the expose.

The only modern thing about this is the cool-looking tin that houses the individual DVDs. It’s up to you to settle whether this is enough to upgrade your collection.
Gainax’s staggeringly ambitious, 26-episode series NEON GENESIS EVANGELION is declared as one of the most compelling Anime productions of all time. It also happens to be one of most controversial. On one side of the coin are a bunch of right, unbending followers that idolize the present. On the other are a group of naysayers who say otherwise. As far as my views of EVANGELION are concerned, I descend somewhere in the middle. In many ways, the indicate is indeed shining and opinion provoking–something rarely seen in any bright production, American or Japanese. At the same time, however, there are elements of EVANGELION that rub me the irascible map.

The exhibit, location in post-apocalyptic Tokyo-3, involves alien-like monsters known as “Angels” that continually threaten the metropolis. Only psychologically messed up teenagers — who include introverted Shinji Ikari, enigmatic Rei Ayanami, and mean-spirited Asuka Langley Sohryu — stand a chance against them. They do this by piloting their Evangelions — giant, superpowerful, robot-like fighters. In charge of the whole thing is Misato Katsuragi, a tough, no-nonsense woman who cares for the children while dealing with her maintain issues. Also calling the shots is Shinji’s icy, unsympathetic father, Gendo Ikari, who seems to have an agenda of his absorb, although we’re not entirely definite about what it is. And then there is the matter over whether the genuine threat in Tokyo-3 is in the presence of the Angels or an even more ominous organization, known as SEELE, which is occasionally seen as a group of tabloids with numbers.
As mentioned, there are many aspects of EVANGELION that are fine and abominable. The technical aspects of this expose are impressive — particularly the dramatic and emotionally charged battles between the EVAs and the grotesquely designed angels; a sense of mystery and intrigue exudes from its complex storyline. As a matter of fact, the exhibit is at its best when it focuses on the conflict between the Angels and the human hasten. Furthermore, even though a majority of the characters are basically unlikable (place perhaps, for Misato), director Anno does dedicate some episodes delving into their tormented pasts. This is often done in surreal, bizarre, “dream” like sequences tantalizing kaleidoscopic imagery and inner thoughts. Also inviting (and sometimes disorienting) is the spend of classical music for several episodes toward the destroy, notably Handel’s “Messiah” and Beethoven’s “Choral” Symphony.
It has been widely touted that the characters of EVANGELION are some of the most complex, socially washed out beings ever committed to Anime. On one level, it provides for some intelligent interactions, from Shinji’s estranged relationships with both his father and the bitchy Asuka to Misato’s occupy fractured appreciate affair with her off again on again beau, Kaji. The character development becomes gradually less animated, however, as each episode exorcises the same angst-ridden issues over and over again, with miniature to no resolution. In the surprisingly grim and violent latter half of the series, the characters all head into a downward spiral. At the same time, EVANGELION starts to become less though-provoking (if sometimes confusing) and turns messy, almost to the point of being totally incomprehensible. Questions that viewers are likely to have about the location are never answered, and some later episodes have scenes in which absolutely nothing happens that last too long.
Another scrape with EVANGELION is its ending or rather, lack thereof. While Gainax’s previous TV reveal, NADIA, took a atrocious turn at the midpoint, it did secure recover for its last episodes and delivered a strong, if too short conclusion. Here, however, the myth simply falls apart. The final two episodes, which are very powerful played out like extensive therapy sessions, eschew both action and coherency in favor of deconstructing the protagonists’ minds. In doing so, it makes the mistake of underwhelming the audience. There are some spirited artistic styles, like Shinji being drawn as a sketch in deep set, but even this potentially experimental come is compromised by the lack of a structure for a compelling conclusion.
In spite of its faults, NEON GENESIS EVANGELION is collected worth watching for many reasons. Its impressively directed action sequences, bright mysteries, and in-depth character studies have been seldom matched in others of its kind.
ADV Films has released the series countless times on DVD–this is the Platinum version, which contains two director’s slash versions of several episodes from the point to as well as plentiful extras, which include commentaries from the English cast. The dub, provided by Industrial Smoke & Mirrors in the mid ’90s, like the exhibit, tends to receive polarized reaction. The dub follows the script fairly well, and the acting is mostly emotionally sound (if at times too melodramatic) . On the flipside, it is somewhat disappointing that the young protagonists don’t sound like children–especially after ADV’s dub for NADIA impressed me with their exercise of trusty child actors. Fortunately, the whole dub is carried by Alison Keith’s terrific turn as Misato–she brings a lot of sassiness and instant likeability to the character. Her performance *sells* the dub as a whole even when the script becomes confusing in places.
NEON GENESIS EVANGELION will certainly not rep over converts beyond a obvious age — its complicated and sometimes too angst-ridden place is more likely to appeal to adolescents. As an ambitious and dauntless spend in bringing Anime to wider audiences, however, it’s worthy in how it achieved that goal.
