It's more like the Teacher's Edition.
"Evangelion" can be a life-changing experience when seen in it's entirety; if nothing else, it will redefine the way you look at anime. "Evangelion: Death/Rebirth" will not affect you quite so profoundly, but it's still worth viewing and, in my opinion, owning when the official U.S. DVD release hits stores in late July 2002.
Originally released in Japan prior to "End of Evangelion" to promote the theatrical finale to the series, the first half ("Death") is a summation of the first 24 episodes meant to "refresh the memories" of long time fans of the anime, and initiate those who have not seen the series into the mythology of Eva's world circa 2015 A.D.; The second half ("Rebirth") is a sneak peek at the first few minutes of "End of Evangelion" (the two part movie which - sort of - wraps up the series).
To say that "Death" is largely redundant if one has seen the series is fair enough; To say that "Rebirth" is redundant because the movie itself will be available domestically on DVD in September is also fair. But "Evangelion: Death/Rebirth" is not a total waste; a great deal of new animation was created for the film, including a number scenes which were given the "director's cut" treatment and which have been, until now, mostly unavailable in the U.S. except as fansubbed movie files off the internet. This alone is enough to recommend the title to many longtime Eva fans.
Granted, I won't watch it as often as the other episodes or the movie itself, but I'll own the DVD when it comes out. Bottom line, if you haven't seen Eva yet, watch the 24 episodes in their entirety first. You'll get more out of the movie AND out of "Death/Rebirth" that way.

Cowboy Bebop is one of those anime that defies easy classification. On the surface it's just another sci-fi action series, but to leave it at that would be criminal because the series is so much more complex than that description alone can convey.
While the story is set in a space age post-apocalyptic future of sorts (though in a society no more dystopian or dysfunctional than our own), it embraces so many different genres that it is impossible to settle on any single definition as the "right" one. It's science fiction, but it is also a cop action/drama, a mythic western, a Chandleresque detective show and, at times, even a comedy. And the heroic/tragic climax of the series is worthy of classic John Woo. Few series manage to combine so many disparate themes in a single mold and make it work; it not only works, but works flawlessly in Cowboy Bebop.
Cowboy Bebop is almost guaranteed to go down in anime history as one of the most original series of the 1990s. The story manages to achieve a level of creativity and originality that's rare in episodic television, especially episodic anime, avoiding the more common formulaic approach. The soundtrack is unlike anything I've heard in an anime, eschewing the normal J-pop for a more eclectic selection of jazz, blues, and folksy tracks that bring a fresh feel to the story (one of the trademarks of a Yoko Kanno score, and with Cowboy Bebop she outdoes herself). Countless pop-culture references abound, from Bruce Lee to 2001: A Space Oddysey, abound, but they are always well crafted and inobtrusive rather than in-your-face.
The characters are well-crafted, endearing, and complex. In short, they strike you as real people, not just the standard formula archetypes. If they are not perfect (they are not), if they must bear the burden of a dark and/or forgotten past (which most of them do), neither are they as hopelessly neurotic as the cast of, say, Evangelion. You care about the characters, and more importantly, a part of you identifies with them... and in the end this is what makes the series work, every bit as much as the storytelling.
Though it is not suitable for younger audiences (probably rating about a PG-13, were it to be reviewed by the MPAA) it is strongly recommended for everyone else. Long-time anime fans will love it, not as the Next New Thing, but as something truly New. Newbies and the uninitiated will get a taste of what truly excellent animated storytelling can be, and will find themselves hooked for life.

The One takes an intriguing, if not inspired premise (multiple parallel universes being a staple of science fiction almost as long as the genre has been around) and combines it with Jet Li's current marketability at the American box office and video rental/retail industry to create what should have been a sure-fire hit.
Unfortunately the movie falls far short of what it might have been. The plot, what there is of it, fails to rise above the level of comic book-style story telling, and depends more on special effects and wires than it does on engaging characterization and clever plot development.
In the end, the film is predictable as it is disappointing. It ought to satisfy fans of Mortal Kombat or perhaps X-Men (which was satisfying in it's own way, if not exactly classic film making), and die-hard fans of Jet Li, but all others might better spend their time and money on Li's other recent release, Kiss of the Dragon.
