I was checking out director Hideaki Anno's
official website (
http://www.gainax.co.jp/hills/anno/ ) that I
found after going to GAINAX's official site. And
what was it I found there? Why none other than a
gigantic poster on the main page of Shinji
holding Rei Ayanmi in his arms with the big title
Evangelion RESTART on the poster.
Now I got all excited and thought for a small
second, could he possibly be releasing a follow-
up to the events in End of Evangelion. Ahh, but
no. I was wrong (too bad). It looks like in Japan
they're releasing a box set of all the Evangelion
episodes with a TON of extra features that us
unlucky americans will probably be unable to
enjoy. Interviews with cast, storyboards,
alternative endings, notes from the director. All
kinds of extra info I would've loved to have seen
in our american dvd releases.
You can find information about the DVD release
at:
http://www.evangelion.co.jp/
and you can find some background information on
the making of it at:

Well, I found it interesting.
