After various rumors and indication, FUNimation today finally announced that they indeed have acquired the US rights for Mamoru Hosoda und Satoko Okuderas Summer Wars and the second part of the Rebuild of Evangelion saga, Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance. Both films will be released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc in 2011 while Summer Wars will also get a theatrical release in 2010.
Speaking of Summer Wars, Taiwanese distributor Mighty will release the award winning anime as a nice looking Blu-ray Disc special edition with a bonus DVD, a film strip and English subtitles on September 10th.

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.
