from the "Western Platinum Edition", which is based on the Japanese Renewal. A version of the discarded live-action sequence was included in "Renewal of Evangelion" and subsequent Blu-ray editions. Although it is incomplete due to the loss of original materials after the plan was changed mid-filming, Hideaki Anno chose to recreate, as much as possible without additional filming or recording, the concept he had at that time. Shinji's line at the end, which had not been recorded at the time, was added in by Anno himself. King Records released a box set with Revival on August 1, 2007, under the title "Neon Genesis Evangelion DVD-Box '07 Edition". In August 2015, to celebrate the series' 20th anniversary, The End of Evangelion was released in a Blu-ray box set of Neon Genesis Evangelion in HD video. In June 2019, in conjunction with the release on Netflix, the Blu-rays were re-released. English-language release North American company A.D. Vision, which was responsible for the adaptation of the original series, was initially not interested in acquiring The End of Evangelion distribution rights because Gainax demanded too high a fee for the licenses. In July 1998, A.D. Vision announced it would negotiate with Gainax to release the film overseas. In 2001, the rights were purchased for two million dollars by the company Manga Entertainment. The company announced the release of the Western edition of The End of Evangelion for October of the same year but the release was postponed. Manga Entertainment initially stated they would interview Hideaki Anno and Kazuya Tsurumaki to provide Western fans with an explanation of the feature film, but no interviews were included in the final DVD release and the release date was again postponed to September 2002. Rei Ayanami's English-language voice actor Amanda Winn Lee wrote the script for The End of Evangelion English subtitles and dubbed adaptations, and produced and directed the dub. While most of the voice actors reprised their roles in ADV's English adaptation of the television series, several supporting roles were recast because the original actors were unavailable. To accommodate voice actors living in different parts of the US, the dub was recorded in Los Angeles, Houston, and New York City. In late 2020, GKIDS acquired the theatrical and home-video rights to the film, the Death (True)² version of Death, and the television series. The End of Evangelion was included in the Standard Edition, the Collector's Edition
