The Adult Swim run was only lightly edited, usually to remove the seven dirty words.
Beginning October 20, 2005, the entire series was aired on the Adult Swim block. 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. The series was broadcast, subtitled, on San Francisco Bay Area PBS member station KTEH, and dubbed on ADV's VOD channel The Anime Network. Uncut and Edited versions where also out at the time) in 1997 and on DVD in 2000.
In the United States, the television series was released on VHS (in both subtitled and dubbed versions. 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. Anime News Network'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".

They were released in Region 1 and 2, North America and Europe, as well as Australia. These productions were heavily scrutinized by original director Hideaki Anno as well as GAINAX.

These include episode 1 (book 1), episode 8 (book 4), episode 17 (book 6), episode 19 (book 7) and episode 23 (book 10). Some of the Japanese episode titles were also used as the titles of volumes of the manga by Sadamoto. However, ADV's subtitles provided English translations for the Japanese titles. Like the title Neon Genesis Evangelion, the English episode titles were created by Gainax, not the show's English-language dub producer, ADV Films.
