The future is back like you've never seen it before, in Neon Genesis Evangelion: Platinum Edition!

Customer Reviews

Very good
All in all a very good product. The discs are excellent quality, and the remastering of the old animation looks great. The story itself is very good until the last few episodes, that's why this collection gets only 4 stars. I'm sorry to all the die hard fans, but that last episode just plain sucks. Luckily, there is a movie called "End of Evangelion" that actually provides a decent ending to the series. Pick this up if you like mecha, phsycho-thrillers, or wimpy main characters.

The ride was good...
There are a number of die-hard giant robo fans out there who refuse to admit any fault of this series. I can see why on some levels, but the ending was very slapped on. I won't give anything away, but the whole series is stunning and captivating..... and then I woke up drooling on my living room floor only to realize the last two episodes had come and gone. Really, some of these directors need to stop trying to be so philosophical and just shoot a good ending that ties up all the loose ends. Lots of funny fan service in this though, that's a chuckle!

a masterpiece
This is the best anime series ever. I first saw it when i was fourteen. It still brutalizes me every time i see it. totally brilliant. Don't listen to the haters. Only idiots dislike this show.
