Evangelion: Instrumental Extras
By The Eva Monkey on Monday, May 22nd, 2006
There have been numerous releases of Evangelion over the years, and almost all of the releases outside of Japan have boasted very poor extras. While it is not necessary, the rise of DVD culture practically mandates that distributors do everything they can to give you your money’s worth. Companies such as ADV Films and Manga Entertainment have produced minimal, almost insultingly unsubstinate extras that many within the fanbase brush off as being non-existant or merely pointless fluff.
Fortunately, over the years a number of fans have scoured for Japan-only extras, produced wonderful music videos and parodies, and now you can have them on your shelf, thanks to BrikHaus of Sand Camel Productions, who has put together a DVD of extras entitled Evangelion: Instrumental Extras. This fan produced DVD contains various interviews, commercials, music videos, parodies, and other features complete with menus, and snazzy cover art. You can get the files via bittorrent, burn them to a DVD, and voila. You can read up about the production of this DVD at the Sand Camel Productions blog.
Largely, this DVD contains a lot of videos you might have already seen before. Some might be new to you. Whatever the case, it is definitely worth a look, and might just deserve a spot on your shelf along with the rest of your Eva DVDs.
