News: NGE TV Series Will Be Out of Region 1 Print

After visiting the ANN website yesterday, I am writing here a reminder to all you North America-based anime fans out there that if you have not yet seen the 1995 Japanese animated T.V. series "Neon Genesis Evangelion" (of which the "Rebuild of Evangelion" film series the rebooted version) but want to watch it, you may want to try purchase your copy of it as soon as possible as this series will soon be out of region one DVD print, according to RightStuf. This is one definitive anime of the 1990s that no NGE fan would want to miss out on, because this is what started the whole franchise in the first place.

For the moment, we don't when or if this classic will be relicensed in the future, but I hope it does it relicensed because 1) there are already still "Evangelion" fans out there wanting to legally accees this classic, regardlees of whether or not they enjoyed "Rebuild of Evangelion" so far, and 2) if this show does not get relicensed, it will enter the line of out-of-region-1-DVD-print anime legends that we may never see get relicensed (the "Sailor Moon" anime and 1972's "Science Ninja Team Gatchaman" for instance), and I find it bites that new generation North America-based anime fans wanting to see old anime have to find themselves feeling deprived of legal access to old-but-cool anime because it's like a part of history is being blocked away from people wanting to learn of it, and there's nothing with wanting to visit anime's past while enjoying today's anime.
