"Evangelion" Blu-Ray.

Is there not a Blu-Ray/HD release of the original series? I'm looking at Amazon and only seeing DVD for the original show. Blu-Ray of the new movies though.

No unfortunately, there has not been a rerelease of the TV show since 2003, which was before the Blu-Ray format existed in a way available to consumers. Sorry to disappoint. I myself would love rerelease of the TV series, considering its been out of print now for years and copies are scarce.

The closest, I believe, that you'll get to an HD release of the original Evangelion is to get the Platinum Edition DVDs that were released back in '05. They digitally remastered (visuals and audio) the entire series so that it's much better than the earlier dvds and videos.

What price can you get that for? I've enjoyed (is that really the word?) the series too much not to own it personally. And now that MegaVideo is down, it seems time to bite the bullet and actually support the franchise. (Though if I remember correctly, FUNimation is hosting it.)

The collection will run you about Seventy US dollars brand new on Amazon.com. You can also get it a little bit cheaper (either used or new) from stores and sellers linked to/through amazon.

Does the ending of the series make sense yet?

Seeing as the original series was good ol' cell animation, they'd have to put in a lot of work to make it shine in HD.

I got the Platinum Edition myself, so there's no need for them to rush on my account.

It has since Episode 26.

Yeesh, that's $2.70 an episode. (If that's a ridiculous statement, yes, I am very, very cheap. I can't remember the last time I bought a new game at full price, unless you count paying the extremely reasonable price of $40 for UMvC3.)
Eh, I could do worse. I just got a new job, I'll have the money for a new one soon enough.

But by buying the collection, you only pay $11 per disc for six discs rather than $15 to $30 per (new) disc for seven discs.

I also got the Platinum, I just figured it was because they added extra stuff on the discs, like a collectors edition.
