There better be enough groundswell from this to get a BD release. Those DVDs are too expensive now.

Honestly I'm expecting Netflix to pay out for redubs for at least a few of the languages they plan to carry Eva in. The original Japanese will stay the way it is, but everything else is potentially fair game. Waiting until spring 2019 has to be for a reason and redubbing the show in various languages is a plausible explanation for this. |

It’s really great news! It will reach a wider audience! The domestic DVDs are long out-of-print. Hell, I own the Blu-ray Discs and I’m still going to watch this. |

Netflix and Amazon tend to get full rights, then sell off the ones they aren't interested in, but only after a set time. |

Huh I really should finish Eva one of these days.
Guess now’s the time to do it. |

Gotta wonder if this is an experiment. If Evangelion is successful, Netflix's anime department might become more focused on making things legally available that anime fans have demanded for years, such as Angel's Egg, the original Berserk, and Monster.

Good post. Something like Monster is perfect for a Netflix due to its crossover potential. |

NGE will finally be available for streaming. Now if only the Blu-rays could be released over here.

It's the first time the series has been legally available to the English speaking world in 10 years. Think about it, a series as iconic and impactful as Evangelion has been unavailable in any legal outlet to a significant portion of the international anime community for an entire decade. Of course this would be headline news. This will be the first time a generation of anime watchers are exposed to Evangelion outside of the Rebuild films.

If somebody asks me where to watch Evangelion, my answer for a long time has been "Guhhhhh...", since it hasn't been legally streaming anywhere and the old DVDs are relatively expensive. So yes, this is very good news. Not exactly what those of us waiting for the BDs wanted for Christmas, but it's good. |

How about at least 2 weekly anime simulcasts each season? Concerning a simuldub, I can handle the binge-watching upload approach if they have at least the subbed ver. streaming weekly. |

By the way, I'm noticing some outlets saying the two movies they have are End of Evangelion and Evangelion: Death (True)2, which is the third edit of Death and Rebirth. Is this true or just a mistake? That's kind of interesting if so, I don't recall if we ever officially got that version.

As much as I would love to see Eva on BD, if it's a choice between having Eva on Netflix or Eva not being available at all, I will pick the former over the latter. I say this as a long time Eva fan who already has the series on DVD that I'm still excited about this news because it will make it easier to introduce one of my favorite classics to my friends who haven't seen it yet. My only desire is I wish Netflix had the original Macross instead of Amazon.

I'll bet you $10 they market this as a "Netflix Original".

The home video licenses are completely separate and Netflix and Amazon never have anything to do with them. Netflix and Amazon never stream the home video versions of their broadcasts and in fact Amazon sub-licenses from Sentai for a few of their shows. The BD version of Knights of Sidonia from Sentai for example, is completely different and more complete than the broadcast TV version of the "Netflix Origial" Knights of Sidonia stream. Funimation and Sentai and Aniplex (and now Crunchyroll for home video) don't deal with those streaming services for their BD rights. |
