Editorial/Description:Description: It's triple jeopardy as the Angels continue to attack and the forces of NERV are finding themselves sorely pressed to find new ways to combat the alien invaders. Facing a new Angel with the ability to instantly replicate itself poses problems enough, but when an unborn Angel is found incubating inside an active volcano, the decision is made to meet the devil in it's lair! Can even an Evangelion survive mortal combat beneath a million tons of molten lava? Then NERV is left defenseless as a major power failure cripples Tokyo 3 and Shinji, Asuka and Rei must find their way through an underground labyrinth to the Eva's subterranean launch bays. But even if they get there, will they still be able to launch? Amazon.com: Brash new Eva pilot Asuka seems to take a sadistic pleasure in deriding shy, melancholy Shinji. When the two of them are required to fight as a unit to destroy an invading Angel, she moves in with Shinji and Misato, complaining all the way. After practicing to music, they win the battle with a mecha version of a rhythmic gymnastics routine. Asuka volunteers to take her Eva into an active volcano to capture an Angel in its chrysalis stage; she's nearly killed when it escapes and has to be rescued by Shinji. After the volcano adventure, the pilots and Misato take a well-earned rest at a hot springs, where Shinji discovers the principal of thermal expansion can have embarrassing personal applications. Asuka also insults Rei, but all three pilots have to work together to defeat a huge, spidery Angel that secretes a corrosive acid in episode 11, "In the Still Darkness." A mysterious power failure that occurs during the Angel attack points to the actions of Shinji's father, Commander Ikari, who ruthlessly pursues his private agenda. All three episodes display the strong storytelling that has made Evangelion one of the most popular anime series. Not rated; suitable for ages 14 and up for robot versus robot violence, brief nudity, and minor profanity. --Charles Solomon

TERRIBLE
November 12, 2007
The show Neon Genesis Evangelion is an OK show at best, I would rate a good episode at a 6-7 at best, but contains multiple episodes that recycle animation for 25 minutes with a cop out bull excuse of the character analyzing their own mind. The last two episodes are litterally an insult to the viewer, a metaphorical slap to the face and a middle finger to boot, the end is completely made up of hand drawn slides, digitizes pictures, text slides, recycled animation and voice acting to tie it together, it seems the company in charge of animation lost their budget near the end and had to change whatever end they intended for a completely boring anti-climactic ending that makes you feel like youve wasted your life.
Don't waste your money or time on this series, try Yu Yu Hakusho, Rouroni Kenshin, Great Teacher Onizuka, Full Metal (insert word here because all shows starting with that are good), but if you watch this series til the end you will regret it.
Must have series
May 12, 2005
If you're into Anime, you need this whole series. It's very well written, great score, great fight scenes, character development...
This is only disc 3, so you will need the rest of the series! ;-]
Three Exciting Episodes
March 3, 2005
Neon Genesis Evangelion Collection 3 only contains three episodes (#9-#11), but these episodes have character development, thrills, and surprise - humor! I laughed out loud a couple of times during the last episode of this DVD. Not grim, as were the first two DVD's, Collection 0:3 is the DVD that finally got me to appreciate the simple yet unique animation and music of the series, and that got me to like the series enough to recommend it.
Three more Angels make their appearances. The outcome was truly uncertain in every episode, as the NERV personnel are truly challenged with the ingenuity of the Angels, which learn from each one's mistakes and evolve. Logically, the odds are eventually against NERV and the citizens of Tokyo 3. The angel in the second episode really took my breath away when it made its first appearance - or rather, was discovered.
The bellicose Azusa was annoying when first introduced in Collection 0:2. But here, I could really relate to her as she lashed out at Rei in episode 11, calling Rei an "egotistical b****." You can see she is not as brave as she appears to be. I look forward to learning more about this character.
Look out for the extras. The character profiles are more than informative - they hint so much they are almost spoilers.
Better and Better!
May 1, 2004
This was my favorite DVD until I reached 0:5, mainly becuase it made me feel even more sorry for Shinji. The next Angel appears but it has two "hearts" so Shinji and Asuka must learn to fight as one to defeat both cores at once. This means both children have to SLEEP TOGETHER (what could happen there?) and wear tanktops and possibly short-shorts (I'm not sure on that)! They defeat it eventually with their combined strength but the action doesn't end there (nor does the comedy)!
In the next episode, Asuka is refused permission to go to Okinawa with her class by Misato. Asuka, throughly ticked off, feels she isn't treated right. In a pool, Shinji tries to understand physics. Asuka gives him a college crash-course (seeing how she finished college that year) which is actually a lesson on how when an object is heated, it gets bigger. (...)
During the rest of the episode, Asuka has to defeat an Angel in a volcano and in the third episode, all three Children have to defeat an acid-emiiting Angel above NERV HQ. In all: this is the continued standard of the first two and doesn't lessen their quality at all. Extras still suck but that's enough to put up with when you're watching the Best Anime in My Humble Opinion!
A warning against the English dub.
April 19, 2003
First of all, I have to give this DVD two thumbs up, as it brought me back into the anime circle of things. It's an excellent set featuring three (yes, just three -- sad, I know) excellent episodes of an excellent series. You won't regret buying this item. However, I STRONGLY recommend you view it in Japanese with English subtitles. The voice acting is EXCELLENT (yes, that's my adjective of the day ^_~), and the dub pales considerably in contrast. If you understand Spanish, I encourage you to view the episodes in it -- AFTER you watch them in Japanese. In particular, I'm complaining because of the changes in the characters' voice tones. That alone can kill the essence of the story. It's not that the voice actors did a bad job -- on the contrary, I rather like the dub cast. It's just that sometimes the lines are read... wrong, to put it simply. And if that doesn't help at all, this will: Asuka's "Back roll entry!" and "Hello! Guten mortgen!" sound MUCH cuter in Japanese. ^_~
