I won't say much about the announcement of the Japanese home video release of Evangelion 2.0: You can (not) advance because German distributor Universum Anime pretty much stomped it to the ground (if you're able to understand German that is) with their own announcement. King Records will release Evangelion 2.0 in a longer 2.22 cut on DVD and Blu-ray Disc in Japan on May 24th, 2010. As espected this release won't include English subtitles and the cover artwork (see left) isn't much to write home about.
Just a few hours after King Records' announcement, Universum Anime posted in the label's own message board that they will release this version on DVD (in a limited edition steelbook) and Blu-ray Disc just two months later on July 16, 2010! They also mentioned to release Evangelion 1.11 on Blu-ray Disc (which was only available on DVD in Germany) on the same day.
FUNimation hasn't mentioned Evangelion 2.0 so far (even though they're releasing 1.11 on Blu-ray Disc on March 8th) and if they keep up their pace, I don't think 2.0 will come to US shores in 2010.
