Was planning on checking out the new dub for Evangelion on Netflix.
That lasted exactly one episode.
It sucks.
The new cast is not good. I wasn't expecting everyone to sound the same, and was expecting different takes on some characters, but it's pretty bad.
The new script is a more accurate translation, but sounds weird because of it. They went a little too literal. It doesn't sound like natural English in a lot of places. The original did a much better job of sounding like English speakers talk.
Thankfully, the original Japanese is still there.
Also, Fly Me to the Moon is gone. It didn't survive the licensing. This is also only true in the US, which confirms that it was a licensing thing.
I have a hard time believing that Netflix couldn't afford the license. It seems like they were just being cheap, and they are catching a lot of justified flak for it being missing.
This is hands down the worst version of Evangelion ever released.
Check out the sub if you've never seen it before, it's still good, and it's nice that both movies are available on Netflix, but the missing music from the end credits is a serious issue as it is thematically important to the show.
If you have any other option for watching this show, go with that instead.
