Neon Genesis Evangelion

[Spirit Ghidorah 2010]

I will forever be that guy who prefers the Netflix dub. All the female characters in the ADV dub sounded like they hailed from Missouri.

Change my view.

I haven't seen all of the dub but I can say without a doubt I prefer Casey Mongillo's Shinji. Spike Spencer is iconic but they nail "fucked up teen" better then Spike who sounds more like a generic guy.

[Rando Yaguchi]

I've avoid all the dubs for NGE

Me too. Both dubs sound really bad compared to the original voices.

[GodzillaBurgh]

Spike Spencer has the best screams, to me.

I third this notion.

[LegendZilla]

^I prefer to avoid dubs of foreign media altogether whenever I can and stick with subs.

[Voyager]

Honestly, not a fan of Ritsuko.

ALL PERSONNEL, CONDITION ONE BATTLE STATIONS.

COUNTDOWN START.

GKIDS.com/EVANGELION

In a landmark acquisition by GKIDS for the theatrical, home video, and EST rights, the original twenty-six episode television series, NEON GENESIS EVANGELION, as well as the films EVANGELION: DEATH (TRUE)2 and THE END OF EVANGELION will be released on Blu-ray and digital download to own for the first time in North America, later in 2021.

[Voyager]

Now that, is badass.

[Rando Yaguchi]

Ohhh man, I can't wait for that Blu-ray set.

All four Rebuild films just hit Amazon Prime. I'm watching the first one now.

[Rando Yaguchi]

1.11 was...kinda pointless? It hit most of the major beats from the first five episodes or so, but it was missing most of the nice, slow, slice-of-life moments from the show, which sucks out a lot of the emotional impact from those bigger moments. The animation is nice, though, looks just like the show only more polished.

The only major changes were

Spoiler:

introducing Lillith and Kaworu much, much earlier

. I'm gonna watch the other three movies tonight, I'm hoping they shake up the formula more instead of feeling like a watered down version of NGE.

They will shake things up, I'll just leave it at that

After the TV ending left me terminally confused, and EoE left 12 year old me slightly scarred, I didn't think 3.0+1.0 could ever deliver a conclusion that wouldn't leave me feeling hollow, but now that I've watched, I am left feeling happy & satisfied. Thanks, Anno.

[goji89]

How satisfied would we who saw the original ending feel? I mean as someone who just hated the original ending is it really that much more satisfying?

If you hated the original ending, you may find this ending more satisfying.

Damn, I trust you dude.

Then it's time I finally see it then. The OG ending left me with such a bitter taste for years and years. I mean after all this time I accepted it for what it was and is but after everything I just wanted something to happen.

I'll watch it as soon as I can.

Facts, damn. 2.22 was amazing, I was not expecting any of that.

[Jetty_Jags]

Just finished 3.0 plus 1.0, I'll leave things vague to avoid spoilers. It's definitely Anno's most self-indulgent work, at least in regard to his idiosyncrasies. That being said, it has some real charm and works fairly well as an interesting commentary on the franchise at large.

[LSD Jellyfish]

Fuck I regret not watching this in theaters when it came out. I’m gonna watch this ASAP. But also, should I rewatch the series prior? Does it require me remembering a lot?

skreeonk I regret not watching this in theaters when it came out. I’m gonna watch this ASAP. But also, should I rewatch the series prior? Does it require me remembering a lot?

I'd say either re-watch the rebuilds or watch blunova's recap of the rebuilds. My recommendation comes more from a place of understanding the rebuild's character progressions than from any narrative or plot benefit. As far as understanding the "story" goes, well its Eva.
