I just got back from the showing in South Florida. That was the worst dub I've ever seen and that comes from a guy who has seen the Devilman and Violence Jack OVAs dubbed. Not to mention that the mixing was so messed up that you could barely hear the music. What a trainwreck

Do any of you guys know if it was a theatrical print or just a BD being projected on the screen?

IMO, the dub was better than ADV or Manga's translations. Wonky in a few places (like 1.0 and 2.0 were), but overall I enjoyed it.

The screening was split up into 2 rooms, ours (the one Zap and I went to) seemed pretty packed.

I didn't see any freebies like stickers or postcards, but I kept our ticket stubs at least. Alamo Drafthouse is serious about their no talk/text policy, but there weren't any rule-breakers.

30 minutes before the showing, there were various things on screen: shorts of Gundam (Seed?) figures beating each other up ("Thank you for watch!"), tons of sentai robot toy commercials, the NGE OP (I'm assuming from Platinum?), the Rahxephon OP, Funi's crazy 2.0 trailer, a Japanese trailer for Roujin Z (Very funny if you haven't seen it), etc.

No God Warrior short, the film just went straight into 3.0. IIRC, the theatrical showing was the same as 1.0 and 2.0 where the credits, tel-ops, etc were left in Japanese. Too bad they didn't have a subtitle for Toji's shirt; that probably threw a lot of people off.

Some dub stuff if people want to stay surprised  SPOILER: Show
A particularly hilarious line:

"He's not an idiot, he's an aaaaashole!" - Asuka, after Mark.09 takes Shinji to Nerv.

Kaworu pronounced his own name as "Cow-wo-ru" (:huh:) but Shinji pronounced it properly (Kao-ru).

Wille (Vil-a) and Wunder (vunda) were pronounced in their proper German names, as far as I could tell.

Maya didn't say anything about hating men, just ordering people around and complaining how they were all time-pressed ("Don't give me that crap!" (snip) "I know that already!").

Asuka and Mari in particular seemed feisty (there was swearing from various characters in tense situations), but IMO it worked, considering all the crap they went through.

The dub retained characters (Shinji, Rei, Kaworu) calling each other by their first names like they have so far in the New Movies, so during the scene where Shinji and Kaworu go on a first name basis (Kaworu convincing Shinji to pilot Evangelion 13), Shinji says Kaworu is his best friend. In the same scene, Kaworu mentions he's always thinking about Shinji, which resulted in lots of giggles.

Asuka and Mari referred to each other as "Princess" and "Four Eyes". Mari called Shinji by his name instead of "Nerv's puppy" when she ejects his entry plug.

During the Next Time Preview, the final title was rendered something along the lines of "New Evangelion Theatrical Edition".

Just got back from the South Florida (Fort Lauderdale) screening, and I really enjoyed Jerry Jewell's performance as Kaworu (except for the fact that he can't pronounce his own name). One interesting thing I haven't seen mentioned yet is that FUNimation decided to refer to the spears as the Lances of Longinus and Cassius.

I was at the Clearwater, FL showing tonight: the theater there (Clearwater Cinema Cafe) showed the subbed version, and man, was it fantastic. Had a great time, got to meet some surprisingly good cosplayers, and had beer and pizza while I watched.

There was what might have been considered a translation error when Sakura (or was it Midori?) shouts at Shinji right before he gets taken by Eva-00 (and later repeated in a mental breakdown when Shinji is laying in his room after learning the truth from Kaworu.) The subtitles read: "Promise you won't pilot Evas no more!" I wasn't sure if this was reflective of a more relaxed, colloquial dialect of Japanese or just a grammatical error made by the translators. Perhaps someone can offer insight into this.

Went to the first of two screenings in San Diego. Had a full room, a decent Rei cosplayer, and a theater employee that introduced the film as "Evan-Geh-Lion". Good crowd. They laughed the second they heard Kaworu's voice though. And at most of Shinji and Kaworu's time together. Even laughed at some of Rei's dialogue.

Dub was alright. Ikari sounded a bit off, but not bad. Asuka isn't that great. Kaworu was initially off-putting but I warmed up to him.

The Japanese version mentions the Spears too, though dub Kaworu's pronunciation of the Spears is another quirk I forgot to mention. Here's where we first found out about Cassius (Kaworu's Mark.06 spear).

A lot of people giggled at Kaworu's lines, and his voice when we first heard him speak.

Out of curiosity, anybody here going to tonight's subbed showings in Houston or Katy?

Another attendee from San Diego's first screening here. It was fun. The dub was fine to me. I kept being reminded of Kagami Hiiragi (dub) in some of Asuka's lines (reminded me of Kari Wahlgren at some points). The crowd's biggest laughter moment was on Kaworu's line that went like, "all I do is think about you". Couldn't help but laugh with them on that one.

I definitely noticed Kaworu's pronunciation of "Longinus". At first, I thought they were calling it something new, but then I realized it was being pronounced 'lonj-EYE-nus' :um:

Funi also missed a chance to subtitle the name on the shirt that was "too big" for Shinji. I know it says Suzuhara (or Suzuhara Touji) from a sub I watched a while back, but I think Shinji's reaction was lost on some of those who may know who Touji is, but have not seen Q before. Hopefully that will be included in the retail discs, even if you choose to watch dub.

Very fun overall. My first anime film that I've seen in theaters, and hope to attend more in the future (Missed Madoka Rebellion, at the same theater, only a month ago :facepalm: )

Well, just got back from a 3 hour drive from greensboro, NC where I saw the dub. My first time seeing an anime in a theater. Was disappointed about how small the room and screen were, literally just the blu ray in a PS3 lol. Mind was blown. Still is blown. Considering I only just first watched and marathoned the original series two weeks ago, it was certainly an experience. Ill probably be on here trying to understand what I just watched haha

Watched it at midnight at the Louisville showing. It was pretty awesome. Everyone laughed at every awkward Shinji/Kaworu moment. But later on, when Kaworu went pop, the theater went dead silent and some people gasped. The best part was the end when someone yelled out "Now I understand everything." It was a sold out showing, so I really hope the 4th movie gets shown there too, so I don't have to drive to Indianapolis like I do for the Madoka movie.

I saw 3.0 at the Scotiabank theatre here in Montreal, It was pretty captivating watching Eva on the big screen (Even though it was just playing through a Blu-Ray) and the crowd was good. Whether it was intentional or not, we all laughed at Asuka calling Shinji an asshole, and Kaworu actions coupled with his regal voice was pretty funny, yet he remained a comforting presence all the same.

I saw the movie with one of my friends who isn't nearly into Eva as much as I am,(He isn't a big fan of the tv show and thinks EoE is stupid, but he really likes the Rebuild films) but it was fun giving him little pieces of info and theories at certain parts in the movie. Even though 3.0 isn't as straightforward as the other films, he still rather enjoyed it, so that was cool.

As for myself, although my first choice would be to watch the film in Japanese with subtitles, I think seeing it in my native language got a couple bits of information across to me quicker, and because of that I now appreciate the film more than the last time I saw it, naysayers be damned. :D

Watched it Friday night at a little place called The Screening Room in Amherst, NY (near Buffalo). Nice little place, might consider going to more events there. Anyway, I enjoyed the dub. Funimation seems to be handling it really well. Makes me kind of wish it was possible for them to re-dub the original series. I feel like they probably wouldn't screw it up. Mari had the best lines, and I liked how they chose to translate some lines. ("At least acknowledge that I blew your head off!") Also, I giggled at Kitakami's voice, since my wife and I have been watching the Fairy Tail dub, and Tia Ballard also voices Happy from that series, which was all I could hear when she talked.

So yeah. Positive experience. Can't wait for the DVD.

I went to the theater in Portland Oregon last Friday and it was enjoyable minus a few set backs. The image from the Evangelion subreddit sums it up nicely:
[url]http://www.reddit.com/r/evangelion/comments/1uzf5s/evangelion_333_the_theatrical_experience_in_one/[/url]

It's unfortunate, but it seems like sometimes people can hold themselves back and be a bit mature.

Did Funi's subbed version include a subtitle for Toji's shirt?

The film was 3.0 proper (all the Japanese tel-ops, credits, etc were kept intact) but I don't see how that would make a difference in adding subs to the dub track. :huh:

______

For those who didn't catch Alamo Drafthouse's Houston/Katy subbed screening of 3.0 on Saturday night, there are encore screenings this week: http://drafthouse.com/movies/evangelion-3.0-you-can-not-redo/houston

From an email wrote:I apologize that we were not able to give better advance notice about the subbed version of the film being shown on Saturday. The studio offered us the opportunity to play the subbed version on Tuesday after we asked them for permission to add encore screenings of the film on Saturday. I wish we could have had that option earlier - so we could have given our guests more advance notice. That said, we are adding an encore screening this week at each theater for the subbed version. Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience and promise we will do everything in our power to give more advance notice in the future.


I don't think I'll go check it out since seeing the dub on the big screen was enough for me (and 2 tickets + food = ~$40 total) until I get nab Funi's Bluray.

Oh man, that dub seems hysterical! Makes me thinking into seeing it in French to see if they added as much swearing as in the subtitles, which has pearls as Mari calling Mark.09 "bitch" and Shinji telling to everyone to go fuck themselves just before calling for Rei! :lol:

Were there any F-bombs in the english dub?

or was Assuka's asshole comment the worst of it?
Among the people who use the Internet, many are obtuse. Because they are locked in their rooms, they hang on to that vision which is spreading across the world. But this does not go beyond mere ‘data’. Data without analysis [thinking], which makes you think that you know everything. This complacency is nothing but a trap. Moreover, the sense of values that counters this notion is paralyzed by it.

And so we arrive at demagogy. - Hideaki Anno, 1996
