Got my copy of GKids' new American pressing of Evangelion:2.22 You Can (Not) Advance a week earlier than expected, so here's a little look at what it's like.

I have a bit to say in terms of pros and cons, but up front, I consider this a (flawed) upgrade from the previous Funimation release.
October 16, 2025 at 2:30 AM
Update: I managed to get my copy of the new version of 2.22 a little early! I'll discuss the differences between the new version and the original Japanese blu-ray when I have the time to check it out.
Pre-orders are up for GKids' blu-ray release of Evangelion 1.11 and 2.22, and these appear to be replicas of the original Japanese blu-rays as far as cover art and extras goes (though I imagine the Fly Me To The Moon trailers might not show up, and it wouldn't be their fault if that's the case.)

30 years (and a little over two hours) ago, the first episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion premiered on TV Tokyo. Quote from the show's creator, Hideaki Anno: "On that day, I was working on revising the storyboard for episode 17. When it first aired on TV, I didn't have time to watch it in real time."

Hideaki Anno's 1998 film Love & Pop is on HBO Max as of today. I believe this is the film's American debut if I'm not mistaken. It's one of my personal favorite movies, and I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it.
