But that wouldn't justify an entire release of the series. I mean, Gainax is 
greedy but not THAT greedy. But I guess we won't know until someone gets 
their copies of the original show as recorded from TV, which I think a few 
of us probably still have, and compare that to the Second Impact DVD box 
set.

Oh, I agree. But I think Gainax was still pissed off no matter if it wasn't 
technically against the licensing. I suspect that a few fans would have been 
willing to import the Subtitled VHS just to get a copy before it was 
released in Japan.

>And BTW, what do you exactly mean by "the secret of whose soul is in Unit00

I was making a joke to see if people were paying attention.

As for having both forms of the films, as TV episodes and as movies, I can 
understand the decision to have them in just one form. More economical and 
honestly, the whole "TV 25 then Movie 25' " bit never really worked for me. 
It's one way of looking at the endings, but not really a proper way. Going 
25, 25', 26, 26' or the other way around just doesn't mesh.

>Which home video release contain this 'fake' version of Rebirth, actually?

Renewal, and the North American home video release.
