I recently managed to get a physical copy of Evangelion. Most of the discs work, so I'm watching through the series now for the first time. The only disc that didn't work when I tested them is the one that has something called "Evangelion:Death(True)2" and the End of Evangelion movie plus some bonus content -- this is an AACS issue rather than physical damage so there's hope that I can watch it eventually, just... not now.

I was told that the ending theme has been changed. The copy I have has an instrumental piano piece instead of the various "Fly Me To The Moon" versions on animethemes. It's not clear to me what the title of the ending piece on my copy is, and the version on my discs isn't listed there.

I was expecting some weird stuff from this show, naturally -- the later parts of it are infamous for that, even though I don't know exactly what I'll encounter yet -- but, even still, the casual presence of the penguin was a surprise.

Yeah I think they changed the ending theme for newer releases due to licensing issues. My sister watched NGE on Netflix and she was confused whenever I brought up Fly Me to the Moon.

The only disc that didn’t work when I tested them is the one that has something called “Evangelion:Death(True)2” and the End of Evangelion movie plus some bonus content – this is an AACS issue rather than physical damage so there’s hope that I can watch it eventually, just… not now.

Death:True^2 was a recap movie with some extra scenes IIRC. It was like watching an experimental edit of NGE. The End of Evangelion movie is really important to the original series though. Hope you get to watch it!
