Evangelion 2.22: Hong Kong Blu-ray Disc Details
Just a quick update on the highly anticipated Hong Kong Blu-ray Disc release of Evangelion 2.22: You Can (Not) Advance.
The English subtitles are separated from the Chinese ones and are, according to AnimeOnDVD Forum user DiGiKerot, the same as in the international theatrical screenings. However, it looks like Asia Video had to translate the new 2.22 scenes (about three minutes) themselves and the results are supposed to be "pretty Engrishy (and occasionally not very accurate)".
The disc (25GB) is locked to Region A (Asian Blu-ray Guide User Phillip), so it won't play on umodified European (or Australian) Blu-ray Disc players.
After some delays, Universum Anime will release Evangelion 2.22 in Germany on September 17th, but I guess this won't help most of you... ^^
During the Anime Expo, FUNimation stated (see panel transcript) that they haven't acquired the US rights and since Manga Entertainment UK probably depends on FUNimation for such a big release, the choice of English friendly releases will stay slim for some time now.

A AHT reader uploaded captures from the Hong Kong and Japanese BD releases for a direct comparison: comparescreenshots.slicx.com
My LE just shipped and I can live with 3 mins of engrish to see this on blu-ray. Based on funimation not yet having the rights and the delay between Japanese and US releases of 1.11 I am not concerned. Hope the picture quality and lossless audio is top notch though.
