The new 5.1 surround sound remix for Hideaki Anno's watershed Neon Genesis Evangelion works most effectively in the battles with the Angels, and these episodes offer two epic combat sequences. In episode 6, Shinji tackles Ramiel, the Fifth Angel, using a special rifle that requires all the electrical power in Japan. The eerily quiet scenes of the darkening archipelago contrast sharply with the furious energy beam attacks that follow. The arrival of arrogant, temperamental Third Child Asuka Sohryu makes life even more miserable for Shinji. In episode 9, he and Asuka use a perfectly coordinated combination of gymnastic and dance movements to defeat Israfel, the Seventh Angel. As the remixed episodes contain no new footage, they're really for viewers who've installed a 5.1 system, but who don't already have this landmark series.----Charles Solomon
