Yes this is the Netflix dub. I don't know why some people say it isn't. The main reason this version is disliked is because later on they took out a scene that insinuates Shinji may have performed homosexual acts with a friend of his. I don't like that they took it out either but this is by far the superior version. The audio in the original is terrible and while the voice actors are the same in the original they were just starting their careers and didn't have as much experience. Trust me, this is the best way to watch Evangelion dub and when you get to the part they cut out, you'll know it when you get there, just watch it on YouTube if you're that curious but you're not missing much if you don't

I KNEW IT!! When he didn't say "I guess we'll never meet" I was like "hold up"

I heard that NETFLIX'S dub version doesn't have the Ed named 'Fly Me to the Moon'... Is it true??

DarkWraith Kevin • 2 years ago

Yes that's true, I guess they didn't want to foot the bill for Frank Sinatra licensing, I blame them. It's a very pretty song and I recommend everyone to listen to it at least once. With all that said i would still watch the Netflix dub. The old dub is just so dated and you could tell the actors just weren't comfortable with their characters. The Netflix dub does a real good job cleaning everything up. Ignore the child, he's been trolling me and he's mad cause everytime I acknowledge his existence it makes him look stupid

I'm watching the Old Dub... I'm liking it, maybe it's just a personal preference. But, I do think Netflix's Dub is the better Dub version.

That is true. He is also wrong on all counts, the original dub is better.

I'm watching the Old Dub... I'm liking it, maybe it's just a personal preference. But, I do think Netflix's Dub is the better Dub version. Netflix's dub sounds more professional because if modern technology. The original dub was recorded wayyyy back then. Both has it's charms. I won't blame anyone for picking one over the other.

>I do think Netflix's dub is the better dub
I disagree. The Netflix version is soulless, robotic and too adherent to the original Japanese e.g. saying First Children instead of First Child which guts the character from the original dub that made it so well liked in the first place; certainly, ADV's version was much more levis and, at times, goofy, sometimes coming across as rather cartoonish but I hardly think that was a disservice - and rather, more so a boon - due to how cartoonish the art and animation could be at times specifically when Kaiji is introduced and having dinner at the Katsuragi household, or Asuka's stereotypical Germanisms and classic tsundere behaviour all the while still maintaining the capacity to be deathly serious and moody when it needed to be. It was practically a perfect fit, the levity of the goofy dialogue contrasted with the more serious tones helping it pop more. And, in my opinion, the goofiness enables the dialogue to come off as more natural in select scenes, like in OH YEAH IT'S MISATO.

Compare that with the Netflix dub and it's... I'm inclined to say dead, but flat is more like it. The exaggerated inflections that united cartoonish humour with deadpan melodrama is gone and left with a saline solution. Certainly you could say it's more professional, but where's the fun everyone clearly had underlying all the dialogue? And I'm not convinced the arguments of, "it uses modern technology," are applicable since the original sounded perfectly fine; I could hear and understand everything clearly, and whatever archaic noise was present was endearing to me as a testament to it being of the 90's which is probably more excusable for me, since I have a fondness for older found media like that; see Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons or other works by Gerry Anderson, especially since they were some of the properties that actually inspired Evangelion

Most people don't even understand how boring the original Japanese is because when they watch the sub, their brain only processes the dialogue as white noise leaving them with having to only read the subtitles, which they automatically sound out in their heads the "right way" according to themselves, making them think it's better than it actually is.

Damn, that's hella informative!! Thank you!!

A lot of your points are subjective rather than objective. I think if you're gonna take the time to deconstruct something like you did, you should keep the latter in mind. I'm not trying to attack you or your opinion, just some thoughts as I read your post. It seems as though some people got the impression that I was saying the original is unwatchable, which isn't the case at all. All I'm saying is Netflix dub > original dub; I can appreciate the original but the redub is much better.
