Re: [Request] What is, currently, the best option to present this series to newcomers in English?

I’ll toss my out my opinion that the OG dub is still a great way to experience the show if subs aren’t your thing. I’ve had a few friends try out the Netflix dub, only for them to end up disliking the lifeless performances and bland translation. They switched to the classic dub and enjoyed the show ...

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

Some of the original animation was rescanned though, where it actually differed in content. See the Terminal Dogma scenes in Episode 23. Yeah, I should have been more thorough in my description. Another example in 23 is when Rei self-destructs Unit 00, the old version of the explosion (without anyt...

Re: Archives of Evangelion DVD Box and Evangelion Blu-ray Box / Adding Subtitles Assistance

I know you can’t edit the Blu-rei’s directly because they’re closed media, but you might have some luck using an external app like Daemon Tools to get the ISO files. You’d probably want to just convert the ISOs into MKV files next then add custom subs to them. Did a quick Google search and came up w...

Re: Netflix English Dub Discussion

I mentioned that it feels bland in the original Netflix thread, but to add onto that- this new dub feels pretty lifeless. So much of the character and charisma has been stripped away in favor of rather ordinary, measured voices that don’t feel interesting or imagined, and the general energy is rathe...

Are we allowed to post thoughts here? Or are those delegated to a different thread?

Re: [NEWS] Neon Genesis Evangelion coming to Netflix Spring 2019

I realize the majority of this thread is dancing on the grave of the ADV dub, but one look at Amanda’s Twitter replies tells a different public opinion. Won’t be shocked if Netflix sees backlash after they formally announce the new cast.

Oh shit, I forgot that ADV got him to play Aoba for 4 episodes. Totally thought you knew from your original post (:| been thinking about this for the past week. Definitely not a fun fact to learn, but it is what it is. Yeah, he and Monica Rial played Aoba and Maya respectively for the DC dub, which...

Re: [NEWS] Neon Genesis Evangelion coming to Netflix Spring 2019

When he was first cast as Gendo, I didn't care for Swasey's Gendo. His voice is so different from MacAvery's. But now that I'm used to it I think his overall performance is much better, even if his voice isn't as cool. I’m fine with Swasey’s take on the character, but for me MacAvery is the definit...

Re: [NEWS] Neon Genesis Evangelion coming to Netflix Spring 2019

I’ll fully admit that the dub is far from perfect, but those performances have grown on me despite their flaws. At this point it seems really odd to imagine anyone else besides Spike, Tiffany, or Allison voicing their English counterparts. Might be in the minority, but I hope they get a chance to be...

Re: First look at Unit 08 and Mari from the theatrical teaser for 3.0+1.0

Looks cool- a bit cumbersome and crappy, but I imagine that has to do with Wille's quick improvising. Hard to guess whether this footage is even going to make it into the final cut- feels really showcase-y and superfluous. Still pumped about the film, but who even knows when the dub will see the lig...

Favorite NGE Release?

Even though it's been a while since the last release of the original series (excluding Japan), I was curious as to what specific release of Neon Genesis Evangelion other fans might prefer. Personally, I have (and love) the Thinkpack Platinum Perfect, but my friend has the older Perfect collection; h...

Re: So was Ritsuko REALLY off her rockers in EOE?

I have a question, and I'm not sure if it fits entirely here, but the MAGI in HERV HQ were mentioned to be unique. Could it be that maybe Naoko's soul was grafted to it after her suicide by Gendo or Fuyutsuki? I mean, we are talking about the MAGI, specifically MAGI-01 in Tokyo-3 being self aware, ...

Re: So was Ritsuko REALLY off her rockers in EOE?

I think it was a little bit of everything; the imminent destruction of NERV, the psychological grasp of Gendo, her complete hatred of Rei- it all boiled into one foolproof moment where the MAGI utterly betrayed her, driving Ritsuko insane. Her mental stability is at least hinted at, when she partial...

Re: Does Shinji deserve all the hate?

In NGE, his actions were a result of Nerve 'forcing' him to pilot the Eva. When he screwed up or did something wrong, I felt sympathy towards his situation and conditions. In the Rebuild films, it's a bit more of a gray area; he consciously made the choice to kickstart the Third Impact by saving Rei...

Re: Wait so how did Asuka die in EoE?

When she came back, I thought it had something to do with Shinji willing her back into being after his brief stint as a god in Unit 01.
