Re: Amazon Prime Video release

Ah, but which English dub cast? Probably won't find out until August. I hope it's Funi but doubt it. I just hope they can get Spike, Allison, Tiffany and John Swasey back. They can replace everyone else for all I care. Heh. Spike Spencer and Tiffany Grant were my biggest issues with the previous du...

Re: Waiting for Evangelion:3.0+1.0

If it isn’t the final Rebuild movie he’s working on, I wonder what Spencer meant.

Re: Waiting for Evangelion:3.0+1.0

I can take or leave Keith, it all varies from scene to scene. Okay, I have almost no dog in any dub discussion, but Allison Ship-Keith as Misato was the best aspect of ADV's dub for me. Her voice is basically the English-sounding version of the Japanese personality, and it makes me happy. She defin...

Re: Waiting for Evangelion:3.0+1.0

No offense, but why don't you folks like the Funi dub? Spencer and Grant are still in it. I can take or leave Keith, it all varies from scene to scene. Other than that, it's mostly okay. No offense, but why don't you folks like the Funi dub? I’m also wondering this. It seeks like there are quite a ...

Re: Waiting for Evangelion:3.0+1.0

Good news everyone! Roughly three hours ago, Spike Spencer posted the following on his twitter account: https://twitter.com/spikespencer/status/1393404702964912129?s=21 and since there’s only one role he’s known for doing still to this day, I think it’s a safe bet THEY’VE STARTED WORK IN THE ENGLIS...

Re: I'm debating whether to sell my Platinum thinpak collection now or after the Blu-Ray comes out

It’s kind of a gamble. I suppose selling now would be smarter, since we don’t yet know which dub(s) will be on the Blu-Rays and the prices for the Platinum set are still pretty high. But something is making me hesitate. I can either cash in now, or gamble and wait for the possibility that the price ...

Re: Survey on the two English dubs of Evangelion

In my opinion, the voice acting in the VSI dub is more nuanced and layered than the over-the-top, stereotypical-sounding ADV dub. It captures more of the little quirks and subtleties of the characters, especially Shinji and Asuka, whose ADV voice actors made them sound like stock characters out of c...

Re: I'm debating whether to sell my Platinum thinpak collection now or after the Blu-Ray comes out

That's what I was considering, as well, but it will be worthless if the Blu-Ray set has both English dubs. So I'm in the position of sort of hoping both dubs are on the Blu-Rays because it'll shut people up about the new dub (which I prefer, personally, though like you, the Japanese version will alw...

Re: Amazon Prime Video release

Obviously Japanese and English are completely different languages, with different sentence structure and syntax rules, so translating Japanese to English will always have to have some smoothing over. It's all a matter of degree. Even the greatest dubs aren't 100% translations of the Japanese scripts...

Re: Amazon Prime Video release

Not a fan of the Kaworu casting and "you're worthy of my grace"/"I like you" are bad lines. Though I feel like the homoeroticism is so inherent to their relationship that it's not something you could really get rid of by altering the lines. I don't think they were trying to inte...

Re: Netflix English Dub Discussion

Amanda Winn Lee is a decent enough voice actor, but I don't understand her obsession here. It's not even like playing Rei is even a meaty role, vocally (even for Hayashibara).

I still prefer the new dub (more nuanced performances), but yeah, it is a little clunky at times, scriptwise.

Re: Amazon Prime Video release

I felt like Spencer and Grant were both the biggest problems with the old ADV dub, because their depictions of Shinji and Asuka sound very broad and stereotypical. So them returning for the Funimation dubs of the Rebuild movies made me facepalm. (I can take or leave Allison Keith, sometimes she's re...

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

I can imagine Khara demanding a brand new dub for the Rebuild movies, leaving the Funimation cast out in the cold. Which means eventually, GKids might be putting out a Rebuild set with the VSI cast. But that's getting ahead of things. They haven't even put out the TV series yet and there's been no a...

Re: Waiting for Evangelion:3.0+1.0

No, the problem with 3.0 is that nothing happened in it. It was a big nothing. It felt like it was just a distraction to hold us over until they were ready with the final movie. They did more with Kaworu in episode 24 of the TV series and he was only in, like, five minutes of it.

Re: Shin Eva leak general

Am I supposed to be impressed that Mari represents Anno's wife? His wife should find it an insult that he would make her a completely one-note non-character that receives no development and only ends up with our hero because he represents Anno. It doesn't make the decision to put Shinji together wit...

I'll say this much: at least things seem to happen in this movie, unlike the previous one. Most of the things that happen sound stupid, but at least things happen.
