Some of the Japanese episode titles were also used as the titles of volumes of the manga by Sadamoto. These include episode 1 (book 1), episode 8 (book 4), episode 17 (book 6), episode 19 (book 7) and episode 23 (book 10).

as well as GAINAX. They were released in Region
1 and 2, North America and Europe, as well as Australia. The translations have a few flaws that, in some cases, are contradictory to the original, making the series more confusing. Some of these lines were re-recorded for the remastered 'Platinum Edition' DVDs in 2004. As a whole, however, the English-language adaptation was and has been primarily well-received by fans around the world, and several of its voice actors (most notably Tiffany Grant

's Theron Martin has stated that he considers Evangelion to be "the pinnacle of achievement in English voice work on an anime title", even stating that he found the Japanese track "uninteresting by comparison". Several quotes from the series - most famously "I mustn't run away" and "What are you, stupid?!" - have become iconic among English-speaking fans of the series.
In the United States
, the television series was released on VHS (in both subtitled and dubbed versions) in 1997 and on DVD in 2000. The series was broadcast, subtitled, on San Francisco Bay Area
PBS member station KTEH, and dubbed on ADV's VOD
channel The Anime Network. The first two episodes were aired, after heavy editing, on Cartoon Network
's Toonami
block as part of a special called "Giant Robot Week" in 2003. Beginning October 20, 2005, the entire series was aired on the Adult Swim
block. The Adult Swim run was only lightly edited, usually to remove the seven dirty words
. However, the slides which reflect the character's feelings (originally in Japanese lettering) were replaced with English slides, with a slight delay to allow easier reading. The two movies, End of Evangelion and Death and Rebirth were never aired on Adult Swim, due to strong language, nudity, extreme graphic violence, and controversial subliminal imaging. It only aired on Starz in the U.S. for 3 years. Due to this, some fans never experienced the films in English, and the DVDs of these movies are uncommon to find at retail stores.
In the United Kingdom
, the series and its accompanying films were released on VHS (dub only) and DVD by the British divisions of ADV Films and Manga Entertainment. It aired on the UK's Sci-Fi Channel
during the summer of 2002. Although the show itself was unedited, the ending credits of early episodes were sped up in order to preview the next episode alongside the ending theme.
In 1998, Evangelion was the first anime series broadcast by Australia's SBS Television
also airing in prime time
. News of the broadcast slowly spread, and as a result, there was an upsurge of viewers midway through the season. This led to the unprecedented move of airing the series a second time from the beginning (SBS had acquired a licence to broadcast the series twice over), despite the fact the first airing had not yet completed. The success of Evangelion prompted SBS to gain the rights to several other anime series and the two Evangelion movies, which it later broadcast in their entirety. Australian distribution is handled by Madman Entertainment
and licensed and released by Manga Entertainment
. The former distributor was Siren Entertainment, who was also the former distributor for Manga Entertainment Australia.
