It’s been an assumption for a while, given that DVDs for Death & Rebirth and The End of Evangelion have been out of print for some time now, but it’s finally official, according to Steve Sargent of Manga Entertainment on the Anime News Network podcast, Manga no longer has the licenses for the Evangelion movies. This is good news for Evangelion fans, as it means that the licenses will transfer to a new company, who will hopefully put out a superior anamorphic DVD that Manga promised back in the Summer of 2006. Who knows, maybe we’ll even get a Blu-ray, or the real Rebirth!

Thursday, November 19th, 2009Rebuild of Evangelion 2.0 Trailer Leaked
Sunday, March 15th, 2009Just as before, our first real look at Rebuild of Evangelion 2.0 is from a cellphone camera. This time, we don’t even have sound, and I think the quality is actually less. If I could pick apart everything that happens in this movie, it would amount to a mind boggling amount of stuff. Bardiel, Zeruel, Sahaquiel, Ireul, Leliel, Matarael, Sandalphon… just how many episodes and Angels do they plan to cram into this movie? Furthermore, how long is this movie? I am pleased to see that this movie has almost entirely new animation from what I can tell. That may just be the trailer for all we know, we’ll just have to wait until July 27th, when the film is released to know for sure.
