Unboxing [UK]: Evangelion: 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance - Collector's Edition (BD/DVD)

Time to pick up this copy before it went out of print, the Collector's Edition that is!

This blog post has been updated to the current format on April 22nd 2017.

Evangelion 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance is the second part of the Rebuild Tetralogy remake of Neon Genesis Evangelion. This Blu-ray and DVD combo also contains a 20 page booklet used in the US release. Both discs share the same features.

This version is a standard UK release from Manga Entertainment UK and production-wise done by Madman Entertainment for Region B release. I picked this up in the end instead of waiting so it was worth it, it is one of my favourite anime films of all time after all.

Plot Synopsis (via Manga UK):

In the earliest battles against the monstrous Angels, young Eva pilots Shinji and Rei were forced to carry humanity's hopes on their shoulders. Now, with the deadly onslaught of the Angels escalating and the apocalyptic Third Impact looming, Shinji and Rei find their burden shared by two new Eva pilots, the fiery Asuka and the mysterious Mari. Maneuvering their enormous Eva machines into combat, the four young souls fight desperately to save mankind from the heavens—but will they be able to save themselves?
