The rollout for the second Neon Genesis Evangelion film continues with a bevy of release dates now slated for it. The first feature made the art house circuit previously when it was acquired and release by FUNimation and through the combined efforts with Cinema Asia Releasing and Eleven Arts, they're expanding even further into more markets with it for the second feature. The first feature also appears to be screening prior to it at select theaters though which ones are not listed in the information provided so far, so check with your local theater to see if they're going to double up on it.

And why am I not surprised that it's not playing anywhere near me... It's kind of hard to care about anime in theaters when they always have such freakishly limited releases.
I agree here in Wisconsin their does not appear to be a demand of Anime which is so sad. If people only knew how great Anime is. I already pre-ordered my anime for Evangelion 2.22 almost a month ago. I'm ready for the Blu-ray version.
