Didn’t Amazon license and dub Dororo and Vinland Saga, among others?

I reviewed 3+1

After a lot of deliberation and fiddling, my article on 3+1 just went up! https://twitter.com/TheFilmStage/status/1435677857871769608?s=20 It’s a long one, but I really wanted to tackle as many angles as I could. If anyone takes the time to read it, I would be very grateful for any and all feedback!

Re: GKids releasing NGE Blu-Ray in North America 2021

I wonder if Palm Valley Music is more or less tyrannical about licensing than whoever owns the “Happy Birthday” song.

Re: Small details you noticed in 3.0+1.0

It is true that Anno is sensitive to colors/color symbolism and reusing those colors specifically was probably a conscious choice, but that particular analysis seems a little overcooked. It’s not a secret code really: more “it’s like poetry, it rhymes.”

Re: 3.0 + 1.0 Reactions

Maybe because “growing up” is so explicitly stated to be the theme of the movie - like not even subtext, more like supertext - that it’s not even interesting to discuss? It’s cut-and-dry; what’s there to talk about? (Not trying to be facetious here, but I do think these are probably the reasons why!...

Interesting. I wonder if there was an earlier draft of the script where Rei didn’t pop?

Re: Shin Eva-Official Social Media: 3.33 You Can (Not) Be Localized

I mean, I complain about Anno plenty but I still love the guy and think he’s a creative genius (a word I don’t use lightly), even if his best work is probably behind him. I don’t think Rebuild was ever really a necessary project (beyond, uh, necessary to pay the staff’s mortgage) but I’ve watched ‘e...

Re: Amazon Prime English Dub Cast

“Warm and fuzzy” is an idiom considered so hackneyed and cloying that it is almost never used unironically by native English speakers. Funimation translated the same dialogue as “warm inside”, which conveys the intended meaning without the unintentionally comedic phrasing. It’s just another example ...

Re: Amazon Prime English Dub Cast

Sure would be nice if they could convey the symbolism without resorting to dialogue so artificial and stilted in its target language that it barely even registers as human communication! But then that’s a translation problem, not a dub problem… Honestly, before accusing Dan Kanemitsu of word-for-wor...

Re: Shin Eva-Official Social Media: 3.33 You Can (Not) Be Localized

Yeah tell me about it. Wild times we live in when I’m confident IGN could’ve given a more insightful interview - not that Anno seems to be particularly eager about interviews generally. I heard back from GKIDS and they are… officially in the air about future interview opps. I’ve interviewed Mamoru H...

Re: Amazon Prime English Dub Cast

I remember hearing it was at Anime Expo (CA), which is usually the US con where Japanese industry reps show up, but Otakon is big enough that it’s conceivable at least.

Re: Amazon Prime English Dub Cast

Somebody has spilled the beans anonymously. Granted, it’s hard to place much trust in an anonymous SomethingAwful poster, but right now it’s the only semi-plausible account out there and the details/timeline add up. This might additionally explain some of the Netflix/Kanemitsu translation’s… unortho...

Re: Shin Eva-Official Social Media: 3.33 You Can (Not) Be Localized

I am seething that fucking Collider was able to get facetime with Anno and the publication I write for was not (and not for lack of effort). We’re in good with GKIDS, but their PR guy has been mum on interview opportunities so I’m guessing that’s not an option for them. Did this just come about from...

Re: How do you feel about NTE? + Rank the movies!

Yeah, waiting with bated breath for the final movie was not a universal experience. I spent much of the last 5-6 years becoming jaded about Eva and generally just not thinking about it all that much - just check out the last time I posted here before this week, lol - and based on the previous Rebuil...

Re: 3.0 + 1.0 Reactions

Truly strange that he would keep that in the script without including any scenes or dialogue elsewhere in the movie (or in the previous one, for that matter) to provide even the slightest hint of context. Maybe he really does plan to make that mid-timeskip movie someday. So did he also confirm wheth...

Re: 3.0 + 1.0 Reactions

In that movie, we would have seen Kaworu and Kaji as Commander and Vice-Commander of NERV. Is this confirmed anywhere, or just speculation? 3.0 and 3+1 do a whole lot of implying character relationships that have been established or developed offscreen, but Kaworu/Kaji is unique for having had no p...

Weird flex from the guy who seems to have spent 8 years flipping out about precisely how and by whom his work is translated into English.
