Current Events > I'm glad I chose to go out of my way to watch the ADV dub of Evangelion

(+) Yeah! (+)

Was debating if I should watch the netflix dub since I heard the VA work was on a more technical level, better, and the script was closer to the source material. Heard it had poor localization work, though, and sounded more stiff as a whole, so I decided, screw it, I'm down bad for 90's dub work. The first few episodes had noticeable, ehhh, strange "performances" but I do think they all eventually settled into their roles, especially by the time Asuka came into the show. Speaking of which, I think Tiffany Grant was definitely the star of the dub and I would go so far as to say why the West took onto Asuka so highly compared to how Japan originally preferred other characters (although I hear even they now prefer Asuka over any character).

Overall great dub imo, and a show that left me self-reflecting, which is the mark of any show that I end up feeling strongly about.

I just learned the movie is playing in theaters. Unfortunately, it's only subbed. Even if they released it dubbed, I'd imagine it would be the Netflix dub since the ADV dub isn't really something the creator likes due to the feeling of localization changes.

Plus, I feel like these type of movies probably draw in obnoxious theater audiences.

dub? never heard of it.

I don't know; I actually think it's pretty good as someone who doesn't have nostalgia for it. Again, first few episodes were a little rough, but in a little bit of a charming way, but I think the cast actually did do a good job, especially Tiffany.
