It's not like the old dub could be re-used for the new incarnation of the show. From what I've heard, the producers for Seed redid, redrew, and reanimated a lot of scenes in the old show, along with adding a LOT of new content. Syncing the old dub to it would have been impossible, so it's not like the old dub was being shafted for the sake of it. It would not have fit with the new additions that the re-broadcast and later DVD versions put in. |

Part of me wonders if Khara settled on GKIDS because they think there's a chance the next movie could win an Oscar.

ADV did in fact dub new content for the Director's Cut episodes for the Platinum DVD releases back in the day, so it's not quite the same. |

I mean, just give me an SD-BD version of the original run outside of having to buy an LE that has such an excess of stuff that I really don't care for. It's the same reason I didn't pick up the 00, Wing or G sets and just went with the standard releases.spoiler[ Plus the HD Remaster's washing of any guilt Kira had re Nicol's death too but that's another ball game entirely. ] But Sunrise probably wants the original incarnation of Seed to be replaced by the Remaster so

Makes sense. Anime Limited announced an Ultimate Edition a while back so they're probably sharing discs and production costs with Gkids.
I'll consider it if the old dub is included. It would take very little effort in exchange for a greater return. Why not please both crowds? We'll see if Khara's desire for money outweighs their stubbornness. |

It could well be a low-technical-effort but considerable-legal-effort type of situation. Maybe someone who knows what the current rights situation with the ADV dub is can chime in. |

I am 100% sure the old dub will not be on the disks other then on the ultimate ed and remember the movies have a manga dub and the show had the head of ADV in it so yea likely went to gkids because they are willing to do anything japan wants and are not Sony or ADV

Can see this just being the Netflix dub and not the ADV one. At this stage getting anything with the original dub is probably a pipe dream.
As for the Rebuild movies, it would depend on how they are licensed but I get the feeling that the next one will go to Funimation because the license would be for all films not film by film, and it would be massively jarring doing a recast for 1 out of 4 films. |

I hope you're wrong too but I do hope it has more discs. Why, because when Japan released the Blu-ray Box, they also released a DVD Box with the TV broadcast version on them so similar to how Bandai handled the Haruhi Suzumiya LE volumes back in the day, I'm hoping Anime Limited does the same here (if the Ultimate Edition here is the exact same as the UK release like with Promare).
RIP FUNi dub if that's the case, especially with some of the previous movies already going OOP. |

 Well this came out of nowhere. Sounds like Gkids has some really deep pockets. I already own the complete season and movies on DVD, but I'll gladly buy the Blu-Ray if they do a good job on the release.

ADV already remixed their own dub to the revised animation. There’s a whole featurette about it on the Platinum DVDs, which was sourced from that remaster. |

If GKIDS and the Japanese powers that be are smart, they will try to get the old ADV dub as a bonus option.

I'm not an NGE fanboy but I'm glad crapamation didn't get their slimy paws on it. I'm sure they would have totally f**ked it up.

Wow, what great news. Back in print after a decade, and with a company that’s practically the Criterion Collection of animation.
Best of luck to you fans of the ADV dub, but for me it’s enough that the show is available at all. When it arrived on Netflix, I figured we’d never see a US Blu-ray release. The Violet Evergarden announcement gave me hope, but I didn’t think it’d be realized so soon. Personally, I’ll be keeping the Platinum set on my shelf anyway, though. Even if GKIDS brings out a release with the old dub and box art that equals the JP Blu-rays, I’ve prized the Platinum set too long to think of it as anything other than treasure. |
