When Hideaki Anno announced the Rebuild of Evangelion tetralogy, fans braced themselves for a high-definition nostalgia trip. The first installment delivered exactly that, faithfully retracing the steps of the legendary 1995 television series. Then came Evangelion: 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance .

The visual spectacle of the Eighth Angel—a massive, eye-covered entity falling from orbit that the three Evangelion units must sprint across Tokyo-3 to catch—is a jaw-dropping sequence. The BDrip captures every frame of this kinetic chaos without the compression artifacts that plagued earlier digital formats.
