I'm glad it's getting a new dub. If they throw decent money at it--and they should, it's a Classic of Anime--it could be better. Let's see how some new VAs approach it.

No but Amanda Winn Lee pretty much said it's getting a new dub and that she wasn't asked to audition as Rei.

Good. A decent English dub might actually convince my wife to watch it. It's the only reason she would watch bebop.

I found the dub admittedly pretty rough for the first six episodes or so, but it really improved from there, and I definitely preferred it to what I've heard of the sub. I've got no objection to a redub, but it'll be a shame if the original isn't at least included alongside it. Considering whatever rights issues are likely causing this to begin with though, I doubt that'll happen.

I always liked the original dub, and I sometimes think Macavery's Gendo is better than Swasey's.

:wrong: That scene, and in fact all the CGI in the rebuilds, looks like total unmitigated rear end. Like it's seriously embarrassing that a group of experienced professionals thought it was acceptable to put out something that ugly.

Sahaquiel looks like something from a loving Ps1 game. I've been rewatching Babylon 5 recently, and it's 20-year-old CGI looks leagues better than the rebuilds'.

I'm actually 100% cool with the Rebuild CGI being off. You know, since these are otherworldly creatures and something has to be off about them.

Agreed in regards to MacAvery. He was drat good at that role.

If they're not bringing the old cast back, like they have for Rebuild, I'd just as much rather they didn't bother redubbing it. New audiences will enjoy it, but my dumb rose tinted ears would never accept it. I fully understand that's a failing on my part, though.

This but I feel that a lot of people are attached to the English dubs, as much as I don't prefer them. I just hope there's some option to retain them the next time there's an actual release of a blu-ray set in the US.

I have a soft spot for the old Eva dub even though it's really bad, and still mentally associate those voices with the characters, even though it's really bad. But the Japanese audio track is a much better experience. Scenes that always parsed as extremely corny fared a lot better when I rewatched with the original audio's less-hammy line delivery.

So I'm glad Netflix is redoing it, both because the old dub from ADV gives a really bad first impression of the show, and also just because I'm curious what an entirely new approach to these characters will sound like.

Didn't Aim for the Top 3 get announced a couple months ago? Pretty sure I heard something about that.

4.0 might come out someday, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

This is from back in July and I'm unsure if I'm missing any new news on it, but apparently (I know, lol ANN et al), the 4th movie is coming out on 2020. Maybe as a 25th Anniversary of sorts? :shrug:

The classic Sailor Moon was re-rubbed on Hulu and it just wasn't the same without all the really bad voices embedded from my childhood.

I don't know if I would like a re-dub of Eva, like I guess i'd certainly watch it but Spike Spencer just *is* Shinji to me. The ultimate whiny sad sack rear end brat. Its the whole reason I prefer the dub to the japanese language version.

my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

The biggest problem for me vis a vis watching Eva subbed is that Netflix has absolutely loving garbage subtitles that are white with almost no drop shadow, so they are physically painful to read with my hosed up eyes.

You can adjust Netflix's subtitle settings. The options aren't quite as powerful as I would like (you can't have windowless subs with really thick outlines, for example) but you can change their color and put a solid or semi-transparent colored box behind them.

If Tiffany Grant doesn’t get to play Asuka again, she will likely commit murder openly.

I SAID WE'RE NOT GONNA BE FUCKING SUCK THIS YEAR!!!

Eva dub rounded into form p quickly although the first few eps are a little rough. Bebop and Eva are def 2 dubs I will watch anytime, along with Gundam Wing.

Now I can't lie that 90% of ADV's late 90s early 2000s dub work is the same 5 people, but credit to those VA's for riding that anime wave for their careers.

There's a decent chance that ADVs original dub is in legal hell or expensive enough that's it's cheaper to redubbing.
