neon genesis evangelion

is Netflix doing dubs/subs or both? and better transfers of the movies?

there's possibly a new english dub: https://comicbook.com/anime/2018/11/30/neon-genesis-evangelion-netflix-dub-rei-voice-actor-comments/

hell yeah bring it on

someone should let me oversee the translation though j/k

feel bad for amanda winn lee though

as much as the dvd transfers for death/rebirth and eoe were dogshit and as much as the dub included some dodgy sound effects choices on her part, the people who translated the films did it perfectly

I really like the original dub cast, this is a bummer.

huh maybe next year i'll start that evangelion podcast i've been wanting to do for years

you cannot settle for anything less than the original whiny Shinji voice actor

i was just reading about zettai ryōiki on wikipedia yesterday

fucking weird shit

Do it Brad!!

I don’t know anything about this but saw the manga for sale today and the title looked familiar from SNA. Is it worth getting or is this more a film kinda thing?

brad if you ever decide to do an Eva pod I would be happy to supply technical assistance!!

xxp iirc the manga differs from the series not insignificantly & ik some people who hate it-- recently saw it described roughly as "eva if the nerds w a shallow, unfeeling understanding of it & its characters were correct"-- but i can't offer up an opinion myself. prob safe not to get it

for context altho the first vols of the manga came out before the series, the latter & eva as a concept was conceived originally by hideaki anno, & the manga, written by someone else, is basically an alternate version

Don't read the manga before you've seen the show

Just in case they fuck up the dub you should try and find the series now and watch it. unless you're going subs anyway. I just have a sentimental attachment to the original English cast, and tbh they all held up nicely when I rewatched the series earlier this year.

Cool thanks

only go for subs, the early episodes of the old dub are extremely rocky

the manga is written by the series' character designer after the show was finished; it's as much of an embellishment on the original story as the rebuild movies. mostly for ppl who are already fans

was written*

ah sorry. just noticed the wiki page lacks citations regarding that so

my stock "what to do before it's on netflix" suggestion is "watch kare kano"

lol i was just thinking about kare kano today. i still have all the dvds. it's... idk if it's a great show or anything but it was very important to me in high school

i nearly owned every volume of the manga and read it to the end. it's fine, wasn't exactly worth it lol

Nice history thread by the co-screenwriter of MANDY

that rules, thank you

guess what appears on netflix this friday

yes this great show about the end of the world

idk about you but i cannot wait to watch a remastered eoe on my goddamn television

Excited. I haven't watched it in 15 years.

any trailers yet with the new dub? I'm assuming subbed versions will also be available? right?....

nope, no trailers with any dialogue

never tried to watch anime on netflix but boy i hope the sub is available

oh wait never mind, i have, aggretsuko counts, it had multiple language options, can't see why they wouldn't do that here too

ok cool

very excited for this. planning to marathon it with pals.

fuuuuuuuuuck i wonder if i can talk my boo into this

will be watching

Twitter thread posted up here by Nhex is amazing

y'all i'm so excited

and i own two dvd copies of the show and have watched it in its entirety at least 20 times if not more

I'm even looking forward to the discourse cycle a little. It will be cool if the show finds a big new audience.

Pretty much a guarantee I think. I'm looking forward to it, too. Remains relevant (and amazing obviously...)

according to early reports: apparently streaming rights for "fly me to the moon" must be incredibly expensive

and since my cats woke me up, i watched a few scenes of the new dub. cast is completely different but misato and shinji are weirdly sorta similar-sounding to allison jaffe and spike spencer (their old adv dub actors). old anime dub fans (and power rangers fans) will recognize johnny yong bosch in the cast as touji

checked and, both sub and dub changed "love" to "like" in ep 24. ok

i’ve def read the same thing in certain fansubs. whatever it’s not like kaoru isn’t gay as hell (for an alien)

Not seen it on Netflix yet but not having 'Fly Me to the Moon' during the closing credits is kind of sad. New folk won't know what they're missing I suppose.

Here's all 26 of them btw :)

"seele, the seat of the soul" yeah i'm gonna have issues with this translation

Not a big anime head, but I may try this out. Unfortunately, I'm already annoyed by randos on Twitter who are like "DO NOT BINGE WATCH THIS! You must savor it like a fine wine!"

pfft i actually recommend getting through the first half as quickly as possible
