Remastered Evangelion DVD

Excerpt from Anime on DVD: "Neon Genesis Evangelion Vol. #1 was originally authored by AIX with ADV using freeze frames to remove jitter and overlays to replace key Japanese text sequences. After fan outrage and several months later, Neon Genesis Evangelion Vol. #2 - 8 began to be released by POP/Cinram without the jitter removal process or with overlays. ADV is now remastering the first volume without the jitter removal and without overlays and it's being authored by MOFC, which is an authoring studio based nearby the ADV offices. My comments were comparing the quality of Eva 1 remaster against Eva 1 AIX version as well as Eva 2-8 POP versions based on the opening sequences. Basically, my initial impressions are that the Eva 1 remaster definitely looks better than the Eva 1 AIX version but still has some minor issues that are likely source related and that based on the opening sequences, I think that the Eva 1 remaster looks better than the POP released Vol 2-8 releases."
