One of the most elaborate laserdisc box sets ever released, this massive package contains both of the Evangelion movies: Death & Rebirth   and End of Evangelion  . Both movies are entirely in CAV format. They are presented in the original Japanese language with no subtitles or translation. The picture transfers have a little bit of chroma noise, but are noticeably sharper and more detailed than the later overly-compressed American DVD editions.

The discs have no video supplements, however the box set comes with an incredible amount of peripheral material:

• a 10-page color booklet with character sketches and robot designs
• a pack of trading cards featuring artwork from the original TV series laserdisc jacket covers
• a set of 3 Japanese telephone cards with character artwork
• a very complex model kit for the Eva-01 robot
• a smaller 5-piece model for the Rei Ayanami character
• a plush toy
• an 847-page storyboard book

Each movie comes in its own gatefold jacket. The box itself even has a picture of a naked woman on the front cover. This is truly an anime fan-boy's wet dream!

A real humdinger of a box set which deservedly is looked on by many as one of (if not the) nicest & best presented laserdisc box sets issued on the format - exudes quality from the outer box to the smallest insert. The smaller model of the Rei Ayanami character is molded in "glow-in-the-dark" plastic.
