EVANGELION:1.11 YOU ARE (NOT) ALONE. [Blu-ray]

The 1080p transfer is crisp enough that the entry of Ramiel still gave me chills, and the uncompressed audio track makes the NERV base hum feel genuinely oppressive. I’ve watched the original series more times than I count, and this rebuild’s opening act finally feels like a proper cinematic event.

The rebuild finally makes the original story feel like a fresh punch to the gut, and the 5.1 audio on this Blu-ray is genuinely immersive during the big angel fights. I’ve watched the original series a dozen times and this still managed to surprise me with how much sharper the animation looks in mot

The picture and audio quality on this Blu-ray are outstanding, and the opening rebuild sequence had me glued to the screen. It’s a bold start to the series, and the disc menu is easy to navigate too.
