(Modified from the original post)

Here's a new attempt at encoding the atrocious Evangelion Renewal DVDs. The 2003 Renewal project is a joke compared to any modern restoration, with aliasing likely due to poor HDCAM mastering, abusive edge enhancement, and often times muddy details (Occasional DNR smearing)

This release attempts to produce a pragmatic, high quality raw that reduces much of the aliasing in the original source, cleans up some of the ringing and edge enhancement, and gives a very light grain reduction to keep compression to sane levels while providing the original AC3 audio.

Evangelion is a somewhat difficult show to sub due to its large number of one-frame-long subtitles and sign subs that I simply don't have the patience to properly deal with. That said, I wanted to provide a good encode that dealt with a few of the problems inherent to the DVD source, for others to use and remux with. I didn't want to tag this as an EG release because as far as I'm concerned, this is more of a raw release. I've included the vobsubs from the R1s as rudimentary subtitles, but make no mistake that this release is intended for other people to build upon.

Includes: Episodes 1-26, plus DC versions of 21-24.
