Thus, it does not include some of the later problems Gainax ran into when releasing the home media versions of Eva, which are also the ones used in streaming releases, such as the lost masters for Episode:16,[3] though it also features mistakes in animation and coloring that were later corrected.[4] It does not feature the Director's Cuts episodes. It was released in 8 discs.

- ↑ What methods to use to remaster the footage for this DVD release? Approximately six months were spent reaching a decision in answer to this question. For the telecine process of transferring the Evangelion TV series from the original negatives, which were produced in 16mm film, a method called wet gate telecine was chosen instead of dry gate telecine, which is the current mainstream method. This method was chosen, because the priority was placed on efficiently removing scratches on the film, minimizing the shaking of the image when the 16mm film is run through telecine, and on the overall improvement in quality rather than improving the sharpness of details. Pin registration was used to reduce the shaking of the image, which occurs due to this being a film product. By firmly stabilizing the film, the shaking was visibly reduced for all to see. On the other hand, the TV opening and ending are on 35mm film, which are clear and of high resolution, unlike the TV episodes. Thus, the priority was to bring out the colors, and the dry gate telecine method was used. Furthermore, the recording was done in HD (high definition). Now, concerning some of the scenes in Episode Sixteen and the previews, the original 16mm negatives had become lost from the development laboratory in the past. Thus, the telecine process was done from a 35mm internegative, but through last spurt color work through color correction and digital remastering, the footage has been reproduced to approximate the original. - Platinum Booklets - Renewal of the Footage
