Im glad they got og cast for the English dub and manage to attain the main cast at least for the Spanish dub too. Now hopefully Anno doesn’t get involved too much with translating the English dialect. Im still holding my breath for a theatrical release in North America. I want to see the last film on the big screen, IMAX preferably.

I think the consensus has been that it has been much cheaper to hire voice actors in Argentina than in Mexico. But im assuming the company Amazon hire to do the Spanish dub did the homework. Realized that replacing an entire cast like other productions companies have done such with with Dragon Ball Kai and Yashahime, would result in a backlash and less acceptance of a new cast. It was better not to replace the more popular characters with new voice actors. I really wanted to see this film in Mexico Cinépolis in 4dx. |

I never found the new cast to be bad in their roles, but I'm glad that the voices that got me into the franchise are back. Kinda stinks for people that were big fans of the new actors but at this point, modern Eva is a franchise with a very rotating cast for product released.

Well shit-let's re-dub it another time just for the fudge of it. What a bunch of bullshit-there's so many other obscure anime series and movies that have never been dubbed and royally deserve one, goddamn waste of precious resources if you ask me.

They're not available anywhere outside of Japan yet. ANN's article has a mistake. Amazon has pretty much confirmed they'll debut worldwide alongside 3.0+1.01 on the 13th. |

While I am disappointed about Trina being recast, I can kinda understand since her partner is going through chemo treatment or something along those lines at the moment.

I understand the sentiment, though more rationally those more obscure titles wouldn't be any more likely to get dubbed even if these redubs never existed. Still you're absolutely right that this is getting ridiculous, with streaming services locking down their own dubs and forcing redubs if they're picked up for physical release by someone else. And that's not even counting the series locked away on streaming with seemingly no chance at a physical release. I'm at the point where I feel like the big boys getting involved in distribution was one of the worst things that could have happened to the domestic anime scene. The people I feel bad for in all of this are FUNi. For my money they did a great job with the first two Rebuild films, and then they got screwed over all because a Khara exec who didn't understand American movie audiences threw a hissy fit. I am so incredibly tired of Japanese execs excessively meddling in overseas distribution when they have no sense of how those markets operate. It's given us everything from Aniplex of America to the 3.33 mess to all sorts of reverse-importation panic. |

Hooray. I get to rewatch the entire Goddamn thing again.
The last hurdle keeps getting further away. Tbh I'm surprised they didn't just get the cast from Invincible to do it while in studio. Imagine Steven Yuen as Shinji and JK Simmons as Gendo. Seth Rogen as Toji? |

I for one am incredibly happy to see the cast. I grew up with this cast from ADV and originally got into EVA with the dub. I think funi did a great job with the first three. I’m ok with the redub on amazon.
Questions: Is Amazon using 1.11? 2.22? 3.33? 3.0+1.01? I’m hoping they use those. I really also hope these also come on blu ray or maybe even 4K someday!? Still waiting on the SERIES blu ray…. |

I feel like at this point unless you need dubs for some reason the best and simplest and most straightforward way to watch Evangelion is stick to the sub. You really can't beat Megumi Ogata, Megumi Hayashibara, Yuko Miyamura, and Kotono Mitsuishi.

Silly question, I thought there was a 4th movie (the one that came out in Japan this year); that's 3.0+1.1/Thrice Upon A Time, right? So do I have to watch 3.33/You Can (Not) Redo before I watch Thrice Upon A Time or can I watch Thrice Upon A Time instead of You Can (Not) Redo after watching the first two? The numbering confuses me. I only ever watched the first one right when it came out in the US and haven't touched any of the Rebuild films ever again because I forgot about them.
But WOO old dub voices! I couldn't get into the new Netflix dub, just sounded completely off to me. |

Yes, you need to watch all 3 before seeing the newest one. |

I would say that the best way to appreciate a foreign work is to listen it in its original language, but I say that dubs are important in order to reach a wide audience, I have many friends that only watch subs and others who like dubbed movies because they don't like to read subtitles. In the case of movies, I usually watch them first with subs and then I listen to the dub, I went to see The Suicide Squad in Neutral Spanish and the voice acting was very good. Maybe it's because I live in South America and most of the foreign media I consumed came dubbed, but I really appreciate the work our voice actors do. Also, people can be very attached to a dub version, just recently here in Lat Am people went nuts when Disney announced that most of the original cast for The Simpsons will return for season 32 after being replaced in season 15. That's why at least I'm happy that for the Spanish dub for Eva they managed to bring back Shinji, Rei, Asuka and Mari voices. |

I don't think this needs to be a versus situation. It's very cool that most of the Manga actors get a chance to close out these characters that they helped originate. The Netflix cast got to do everything from the original series, they did a pretty great job too, but the situation sucked for the legacy cast and it would have doubled sucked if Spike, Allison and Tiffany didn't even get a chance to finish the quadrilogy of films they started dubbing.
I feel for Brina and Trina in this situation, who brought allot to the characters in the Funimation Rebuild dubs but considering Amanda Winn Lee's situation as to why she didn't reprise the roles the first time, I think she deserved this second chance to do this. I hope Trina isn't too hurt though. I'm sure allot of the returning actors from End of Evangelion never thought they'd get another shot at these roles. This is exciting stuff. |

On the other hand the stilted-ass script doesn’t really help the latter any better I mean. Glad majority of the cast is returning. I’ve already watched all prior 3 movies dubbed so that’s good. |
