Evangelion Japanese DVDs

[takatoys]

I want to know if there is a big difference in quality of the japanese remastered version and the ADV version. I know the japanese version now includes 5.1 sound but no english subtitles

What I also hate about the japanese version is that the last volumes only include 2 episodes, but in two formats so you can watch them either in OA format or Video format. what is the difference of these two formats?

I want to get at least one volume to check the picture quality and the 5.1 sound which should make a difference.

Last I heard and read from Renewal-owners and reviewers, there's a tremendous difference in video, audio, extras, and packaging difference in favor of the R2 Renewal over ADV's and Mangle's EVA-wackjobs.

There's also a tremendous difference between the price: $400+ for the Renewal vs around $150 for ADV's Eva-tv. Boxsets, I mean.

I guess the R2-EVA dvd-singles was just recently out at $30-$35 a disc. I'm now tempted to order one myself.

Yes, no subtitles.

add: here's the discussion over at AoD-forum regarding the new EVA Renewal R2-remasters

Or you could have your cake and eat it too by grabbing the HK rip of the Renewal boxset. It's five DVDs and has English subtitles. From what I hear it's an excellent buy.
