This I Declare: The DVDs for ReDeath, FBBB and Nesca will be done… uh… at some point. Yes, I know I’ve been talking about this forever and haven’t made real significant progress in forever and it comes down to this: I’m too much of a perfectionist to simply call it a day and put them out as is, but at the same time I’m too busy with real work (and lazy with my free time) to focus on them as much as I’d like. Still, I’m really, really close, I swear, I just gotta bite the bullet, be a man and finish the damn things. Here are the facts:
Evangelion ReDeath -
The first DVD of ReDeath is officially discontinued (not that we let too many copies get out anyway). It’s soon-to-be-replaced by a new version that features a slightly trimmed version of ReDux, a mostly unseen outtake reel and a fixed soundtrack for the original cut. I only discovered recently that many of Misato’s lines in the old version are completely inaudible and so I will have to remix her lines back into the soundtrack. Since no one else noticed this, I can only assume that no one with this disc watches the original cut. C’est la vie.
Fanboy Bebop -
The main video and extras are prepped. It’s simply a matter of authoring the disc.
Nescaflowné -
So yeah, the original climax to Nesca was a bit longer in the script, answering a few of the plot holes (heh) that exist in the current cut. Why did Ziggy bring Hitmi to Java? What exactly did Hitmi do that made Juan thank her for saving the world? What happens to Head and Miwanna’s relationship? I believe Nesca will be richer with those questions answered, since constructing a fairly tight plot was one of the joys of that project. I have about half of the new footage ready at this moment. Also, since I still have all the audio that was recorded for Nesca, I have thought about making an extensive outtake reel. I don’t think dub bloopers are too funny myself but if I find enough good material, it may be worth the effort.
