My mom ordered me Evangelion: Platinum collection. I have no clue what it is, except that it was a TV show. Second does anyone know if Platinum has all the seasons, or am I gonna be left hanging?

Platinum edition has ALL the episodes, and 4 director cut episodes and 2 commentaries. However, you should also tell her to buy you Death and Rebirth and End of Evangelion after you finish watching the series. They provide alternate endings to the series, and are quite good. Here's a review of it from Amazon.



Neon Genesis Evangelion has gone the way of Dragon Ball Z: Reprinted dozens of times so that they can get the most out of it, with nothing really added in the end. They aren't cheaper, or even changed in any way, except for maybe a couple new bonus features. The changes in the Platinum version of Evangelion are also small, with four director's cut episodes and commentary. But, they are changes in what is perhaps one of the best animes ever created, and to fans, that is more than enough to spend their money.

If that wasn't enough for you then, then here is your opportunity. Take it from someone who thrives off of these thin-pack box sets. The value of them is beyond compare. All of them have sturdy boxes with artwork on them. You get entire series for what is usually half the price you would spend buying the entire series, and you save on shelf-space. In this case, where there were seven DVDs in the entire series that go for $27 a pop (7 x 27 = 189 plus tax and possibly shipping), you'll end up saving big. How can you beat that?

I recommend this for anyone who doesn't have the original box set and for fans of anime of the highest quality. This is the best giant-robot anime, one of the top ten ever, and will go down as something magical and important in anime in the same way that Akira did. Plus, I recommend this for the value itself (7 x 27 = 189 - 48 = 141 = How can you beat that?).

(ADDED LATER) I've recieved a lot of e-mail regarding the extra features, inserts, and DVD count, so I'm going to address these issues now. Firstly, there is only six DVDs, but the episodes are condensed into the six so there is no need to worry about that. The final disc contains the director's cut episodes. Also, there are few extras on the disc, and in case you enjoy the inserts that tend to come with DVDs, the DVDs in the box set won't have them.


And MTV says: "The greatest anime series of all time." Mind you, this is MTV we're talking about, which usually just concentrates on music and crap.
