Video:
I read a lot of reviews that say this is an R1 rip of the DVD. I don't believe the video is an R1 rip because all the credits in the middle of "The End of Evangelion" are still in Japanese without subs and there aren't any credits for the US production team.
It does appear to be a very well done DVD source rip though so I'm not complaining.
Audio:
This is great audio and for both the Japanese and English audio tracks. I can't test the 5.1 track but everything is buzz free and recorded at good levels.
The English dub is very well done and uses the same voice actors from the TV series so everyone feels the same.
The Audio surprise on The End of Evangelion is the audio commentary from the North American production team. It's worth watching the movie a second time with this running to gain some addtional insights into this series and movie.

Comment:
Death is mostly a condensed retelling of the series with a string quartet set up just to make things weirder. They do a pretty good job of condensing the 12 hours of TV series into 30 minutes to refresh peoples memories if they haven't seen the series in a while.
Rebirth is all new footage that ends with a cliffhanger which leaves you wanting to watch the final movie.
The End of Evangelion includes all the footage from Rebirth and continues from there. If you have the whole TV series, I recommend just getting the End of Evangelion and skipping Death and Rebirth.
One final note is with the "Features" on The End of Evangelion. It starts out as a trailer for the movie but ends up stopping the whole DVD part way through the trailer.
