Neon Genesis Evangelion has just started coming out on DVD in the US. It's probably the best piece of Anime I have ever seen and is worth watching through all 26 episodes, even though the final one in the series is very confusing without having a little background knowledge of the next part. There are some great characters, and plenty of action and big robots, but it has an underlying seriousness, which sets it aside from most of the other animated stuff.
Again, this series has no plans for a UK release as yet. I mailed the guys at ADV, who distribute the series in the uk, and they say that they don't mind it being imported (it's apparently a region 0 disc, so any player should be able to play it) but it gets quite expensive when you think there will be at least 10 DVDs. Hopefully the films will also be translated one day and we will have an english version release of them as well.
Evangelion is spectacular, the EVAs are fantastic machines and there is an ever present feeling of uneasiness. There are some real comedy (and really cheesy) moments too which will have you in stitches. The only problem is that I keep humming the theme tune and everyone thinks I'm mad (no change there then)

Is an evangelion a strange breed of lion, that goes knocking door to door, trying to convert people to it's religion?

10/10
Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
Second to none...
So far the services you provide are second to none. Keep up the good work.
