I may be slightly biased as I love NGE the series so as soon as the dvd of the first movie was released I bought it. For everyone who has seen or read NGE the story will be easy to understand as the film covers the first 6 episodes of the series. There are 4 films to in total the next coming out end 09. You are not alone basically introduces you to the cast of characters and sets the backdrop for the coming movies. The animation is beautiful and the musical score is similar to the series. The story flows at a faster pace and for 90 minutes you are absorbed into the world of EVA. I loved this version as it stays true to the series and I can't wait to see the next. If you have never seen NGE I would suggest to watch the series first as it is very complicated.

I didn't realise it wasn't english dubbed, so had to use subtitles.

A fan of anime… this DVD was a “lets try a show I've never seen” branch out. An it's one I'm glad I took. While it jumps straight into the story, its interesting an keeps you captivated. Can't wait to get next movie. Worth the buy.
