For avid fans of the iconic anime franchise Neon Genesis Evangelion, the chance to own a piece of its cinematic legacy has never been more affordable. Currently, Amazon is offering an enticing discount on the limited edition Steelbook Blu-ray of “Evangelion 3.0+1.11 Thrice Upon a Time.” Originally priced at $37, this exclusive collector’s item can now be snagged for just $25.89, making it an irresistible buy for those who appreciate both the artistry and depth of this renowned series.
However, the options don’t end there. For those seeking an enhanced viewing experience, the 4K Collector’s Edition of Thrice Upon a Time, which originally retailed for $80, is also available for the discounted price of $55. Released in 2023, this version elevates the film’s stunning visuals, promising an engaging cinematic experience. Both the Steelbook and the Collector’s Edition provide fans with the choice of English and Japanese versions, along with a suite of bonus content, including promotional reels and trailers.
If the Steelbook doesn’t quite capture your fancy, or if you simply prefer a standard approach, Amazon offers the standard Blu-ray release of Thrice Upon a Time for just $20.47, a drop from its typical price of $30. This flexibility allows fans to select the packaging that best fits their collection aesthetics while also catering to different budget ranges.
In addition to these options, Walmart is providing a competitive alternative by listing the Limited Edition Steelbook for $27.11, in case Amazon’s stock runs low. For some collectors, having the unique design of the Steelbook is worth the slightly higher price, while others may opt for the standard Blu-ray for function over form.
Those looking to complete their Evangelion collection will find that opportunities extend beyond just Thrice Upon a Time. Notably, “Evangelion 2.22: You Can (Not) Advance” is currently available at a price lower than retail, making it an attractive addition for fans wanting to revisit the earlier installments of the series. Unfortunately, obtaining “You Are (Not) Alone” and “Evangelion 3.33: You Can (Not) Redo” has proved to be more challenging, with limited stock leading to inflated prices in some cases. For collectors still keen on experiencing these pivotal entries, the DVD edition of “You Can (Not) Redo” is available for $18, providing a more accessible option for those who might not need Blu-ray quality.
One of the standout deals currently available is the Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Complete Series on Blu-ray, which is being offered at $40, down from its original $60. This series has shaped the anime landscape, and there’s no better time to immerse—or re-immerse—yourself in its complex narratives and character arcs ahead of diving into the Rebuild films.
In addition to visual media, musical offerings from the Evangelion universe are also catching the eyes of fans. The official LP box set features two translucent blue vinyl records – a stunning addition to any collection. Housed in an intricately designed gatefold, complete with detailed artwork, the set resonates with the ethereal qualities of the score that has captivated audiences throughout the series.
For those who prefer the convenience of digital viewing, all four Rebuild of Evangelion movies are readily accessible on Prime Video with an Amazon Prime subscription. This flexibility allows fans to enjoy the films without the need for physical media, although dedicated collectors may still often find value in owning tangible versions of their favorite works.
Enhancing the excitement around anime collectibles, the upcoming release of Akira’s 4K Limited Edition Steelbook further adds to the appetites of fans and collectors alike. Set to launch on March 4, this title is currently available for preorder at $29.49.
With discounts across a range of formats, Evangelion fans have a wealth of options to enhance their collections. Whether you’re drawn to the latest cinematic releases or the profound history of the series, these deals are too good to ignore.
