to be fair, most of anime would feel right at home with pedophilia stuff, lol. Which is the case since most Anime is for teenagers, most of the time, but still.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate the work you've put in and making this stuff available to non-Japanese speaking fans! You did a great job translating, a lot of Anno's interviews are translated rather poorly, which made reading them a chore and opened the door for some misunderstandings. I *think* ...

^ plot twist: Anno just wanted to wait for Funimation's NTE rights to expire. I always wondered, if it was *just* a money issue. Considering how many problems Khara had with ADV and Funimation over the years, it makes sense to me that they might want to move away from these kinds of companies. It's ...

This is a really cool find, chronicling an important time of blossoming Otakudom in America. Thanks for putting in the work preserving this interesting gem of history!

Getting to the last 5 Episodes of Nadia after the steady deterioration of quality was still the best whiplash I ever felt, tho to be fair, I wouldn't have made it without knowing that Anno would come back with full force. Super satisfying ending and also super interesting to see how Anno's mind is c...

While I know NTE is much more Anime than NGE ever was, but Gendou and Fuyutsuki being so cartoonish as to pettishly actively bringing Unheil upon the world is kinda tacky, imo.

^ I think Asuka's might be Ghagiel... The only pattern I could see is that these are all Angels the respective pilots/units have big scenes with and might thus be associated with them. Sachiel is Shinji's/Eva 01 first fight as a pilot, so is Ghagiel for Asuka/02 (despite Shinji being on board as wel...

So do we have a general consensus on the Netflix dub's quality? Yesn't. My take from what I've gathered is; Due to being a much more professional production, it superficially adheres closer to the naturalistic tone of original, while simultaneously suffering from it being a rushed and ultimately lo...

^ you never know where it's being consumed on. Of course the theatre thing would only work in a theatrical setting and if you watch the movie on a projector at home you're out of luck as well, so to say. But if watched on a phone (sacrilege, lol) you'd still get the Black Mirror effect, by tuning th...

The same thing also happened to FLCL open the doors to its abysmal sequels.

^ From what I've heard, the English ADV was, if anything, very lively as opposed to the very lethargic delivery of the Netflix dub. I guess they tried to replicate the (for anime standards) very subdued Japanese original. But while being relatively down to earth it always remained nuanced and expres...

^ Yeah the English and German Netflix dubs are on par quality wise; while it's a huge step upwards for the English version, it's kind of a step down for the German. The old German dub (done in the 00s not 90s, but who cares, lol) was actually very carefully done! As you suggested, I also blame most ...

this... according to the Platinum Booklets the Japanese original was an iteration of "he's a lone wolf" and considering how anally close the Netflix dub is to the original Japanese dub (at least compared to the ADV dub) "lone wolf" just makes the most sense here.

^ I mean, ok, lol. I admit to not having known about that rank at all, so my reading immediately jumped to my prior suggestion of meaning "lone wolf". But let's think about it... Who in the world of Evangelion would she talk about who actually incorporates (is that the correct verb?) that ...

maybe it's just me knowing that her wearing make up like this would most probably because Gendou ordered her to do so.

I feel really alone liking Death for its editing lol. You are not alone! I adore it too, I think it's mesmerizingly hypnotizing and tremendously captivating. Such a great job by arcane Masayuki! I just recently learnt that he is responsible for a lot of mega-slick editing all throughout the series....

I mean yeah, but "commando soldier" is not expressing the intended meaning of someone doing things their own way.

Sure thing, I was curious too!

The glossy, almost oversaturated look is a very popular trend in anime right now. It's even in the Pokémon short Gotcha! . While I can deal with the oversaturation, the gloss is something I really can't get into, lol. But I'm old and am really not the target audience, so I shouldn't complain, I gue...

Damn, that'll be two Anno movies in a year! Nice.
