Unfortunately, EVA 2.0 was delayed to 2009. GAINAX admitted that to a newspaper.

I'm looking forward to watching OP movie 9, too. XD

And Kiki's Delivery Service?! I remember watching that as a kid! I'm glad to see it's still popular over there.

Wow, I wouldn't have expected the One Piece Movie 9 (Drum Arc Retellling) to do so well. I guess I'll have something to look forward to when its eventually subbed.

Wow, EVA is still in the top 5 even though it was released way back in April. Hopefully they can use some of that money to make 2.0 even nicer (animation wise).

Unfortunately, EVA 2.0 was delayed to 2009. GAINAX admitted that to a newspaper.

I should imagine only the major fans are really winging it and buying ALL the dvds. If they're releasing it with one episode per disk, then I should think most are only buying the episodes that they really loved. :P
