Episode count, increase the budget from 6,000,000 yen per episode($40,000 at the time) to 35,000,000(Just under $240,000) per episode as well as other things. One, I would get rid of the clutter, like the episode where Shinji gets beat up by Toji. Not needed and it was boring and add...

We've reached it. A stupidity beyond trolling. You haven't watched many LA dubs, have you? If not, then realize that Animaze puts on dubs generally on PAR with the JP version. Although Animaze seems to have stop doing work, BZ has done the critically acclaimed F/Z dub, which is regarded as ...

Why was the EVA English dub better received in Australia?

I grew up Australia and I've noticed how the dub is way more liked over there than in the States. I've never seen the dub divide in Australia that I have in the US. In the US, the dub is divisive and always has been as a matter of fact. The brunt of hate was from the 90s of course, but you a...

The same VA for both Shinji and Kaworu? Strange, the two characters have very distinct tones of voice. Well, JYB can use his gay voice for Kaworu and a voice in between Renton and his other characters for Shinji. Of course, his Renton is comparable to Spike Spencer's Shinji in regards to being ...

Yeah Madoka sucked. Compared to many anime of the 80s and 90s, the artwork was generic moe shit, the voice acting came from jobber VAs instead of awesome VAs(both languages), the animation was mediocre, there is no real plot and the music was repetitive and not in a good way. --__-- It's...

@gatotsu911 Yeah, I agree, Trigun had a shit dub. One of the few Animaze dubs that sucked. I bet if Eva was dubbed fully in LA, the dub would not be as hated, if at all, since LA dubs are generally solid on average. The first show should be redubbed in LA with a union cast, when somebody else picks ...

Disney/Ghibli are idiots. They need to STOP with this casting BS and use PROFESSIONAL VAs/adapters. Let's start with the English dub side. Prior to 1996 and after 1985, Tokuma Shoten, the producers of the early Ghibli films also produced dubs of Kiki, Totoro, Laputa and Porco Rosso. Laputa was o...

If I directed a movie, I would pay attention to every little detail. It would make me sad if people decided to watch the dub. I would respect it though. What makes me angry is when people that have watched the dub defend that what they have watched is the same. Come on! Maybe it's because many ...

The cries in Japanese are awesome. The English ones aren't too, too bad, I guess. I love when the Evas get berserk in Japanese. Just epic and overshadows actual dialogue from VAs like Yuko Miyamura, who is the worst JP VA of all time and one of the few bad Japanese VAs. Never liked Miyamura.

TBF, Shinji is pretty bland to be honest, even in Japanese. Even if the performance was worse, I actually think Spike gave him more personality. Also, LOL at the people who think Batman is what they saw as kids from the animated series and movies and never bothered to read one panel of Batman comics...

Then why is Heero Yuy well received in America even though he has just as many social problems as Shinji? He's no Batman mind you, but Heero Yuy is very popular in the US, even though he's emotionless, confused, guilt ridden, etc. Not to mention the English voice of Heero Yuy was almost as b...

Is Spike Spencer the main cause of Shinji hatred overseas?

It's said that Americans don't truly care that much for voice acting, but if they didn't why do they see Shinji as a "bitch" as a "wimp" as a "pussy" if this was not the case? Granted, Shinji is very pathetic, yes, but I happened to be working in Japan at th...

Who cares? The movie still looks piss poor animation/art wise. My friend had a debate with the creator of this site on Twitter and he is absolutely right. EOE looks like a low budget OVA compared to something like Gundam 0083, Gundam 8th MS Team or Gundam Wing Endless Waltz which all look near movie...

Why does Gundam X have the same Japanese name as Evangelion?

Nothing in Gundam X has anything to do with a new century. Both the start of Gundam X and the end take place in the After War Era, rather than a new calendar. The only things they share are post apocalyptic themes, Kotono Mitsuishi and the fact that both main characters run away only to be coerced i...
