Evangelion 2.22: Region Code and Subtitles Details for Hong Kong Blu-ray Disc

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 who are reading this version of the site… ^^
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.

    So wie ich bei ein paar Vergleichsscreenshots gesehen hab, scheint auch die Bildqualität nicht mit der vom jap. Release mithalten zu können. Ich fürchte, ich muss den Release von Universum Anime noch zusätzlich kaufen :<

    Also ich freu mich schon wahnsinnig auf 2.22.
    1.11 kam vorgestern an und ich hab mich schon über die Qualität des Trailers geärgert. Das war ja unterstes DVD Niveau und man konnte den Trailer nicht mal richtig genießen.
    Egal bis zum Release dauert es nicht mehr lange.^^

    Man sollte evtl. mal anmerken, dass es die Blu-Rays bereits am kommenden Wochende exklusiv auf der diesjährige AnimagiC in Bonn zu kaufen gibt!
