Kinda need a reminder here: Who holds the rights to Evangelion these days? I distinctly remember reading something either 1 or 2 years ago that Gainax did some illegal motherfuckery to try and keep the rights to Evangelion away from Anno.

I wonder how that’s even gonna work with regards to the dub (old/new/both) and subtitle translation. Eva’s definitely the kind of series I’d like on Blu-Ray though at an okayish price.

Eva is owned fully by Anno and Khara nowadays I think. And it's likely going to be the Netflix dub and sub, since those translations were heavily overseen by Khara.

when did the story evolve from the guy paying for strike witches doujins as rock solid proof that he's a pedophile to him also being racist

also that guy has been doing the official eva subs for years. the controversial parts of the netflix subs weren't even purely his choice

yes, the netflix translation was mandated by khara, many lines were awkwardly decided on by japanese suits who do not know how to correctly translate dialog into english, i don't know why we're blaming the guy who was working under corporate mandates here

this same translator, again, has been working on the series for years and their other tls do not have the same problems

Maybe things have changed, but last I heard the manga TLs are still the ones gerard jones was involved with (though he wasn't a translator per se, he took the translated text and rewrote it)

Stair the translator for eva netflix is not a pedophile or a racist and 99% of the translations people were mas about were dictated by khara and anno.

For instance people accuse him of downplaying the kaworu/shinji thing out of homophobia but he also translated rebuild 3. Which up played the gayness with. Including in translation.

In short: stfu stair and log off of twitter instead of buying into accusations from the same types who send death threats to people who draw the wrong jojo ships

"Genre" is a fuzzy concept. As per this Innuendo Studios video on Genre and Adventure games. Mecha is often used as if it were describing a genre and as long as it has usefulness in conveying what the speaker means then it has utility to continue to treat it as though it were a genre.

I am glad you showed up on the field of battle that favours your opponent


One of the first recommendations I asked for in one of those threads was for anime with mecha, so its not like I havnt given various shows or movies a watch. I just havnt found one that I like. Yet. :v:

As others have already said, don't make serious accusations against people based on twitter slander and third hand gossip. All this does is muddle the water and make more peoples lives miserable. Please use die diligence to research these things in the future Stairmaster.

The Fall thread is pretty much done but did anyone stay with Misfit of Demon Academy. I enjoyed it as kind of a low-stakes thing with some ok twists and a decent ending -- definite BL vibes from the Great Hero and Demon Lord.

Was that framerate always so smooth??

Wing is, no joke, a series I would totally buy on blu/digital. I got caught up with high school poo poo and missed a good third of it in the middle and suddenly Zechs is throwing a colony at Earth as the leader of White Fang and poo poo's popping off while everyone gets v2.0 upgrades to their Gundamns.
