So any opinions on the controversy surrounding Netflix re-dubbing Evangelion?
I don't like my anime dubbed. That's for kids.So any opinions on the controversy surrounding Netflix re-dubbing Evangelion?

I'm used to subs. Everything is subbed here. Often we'll even turn on English subs for programs with English audio.I'm indifferent. Dub or sub, it usually doesn't matter.
That said, I prefer dub for more casual viewing. With a sub, I have to sit there and dedicate myself to watching. With a dub, I can just let it play in the background and watch with divided attention.
I'm used to it. It's automatic. It doesn't feel like I'm reading an anime. I usually prefer the original voices to the ones in the dub.If I'm going to watch an anime , I want to actually watch it, not read it. I don't care if the translation isn't exact, it'snot exactly Dostoyevsky, for me it's dubs all de way

It's very common for us to watch subtitled movies and TV programs. Contrary to our neighbours in Germany, where almost everything gets dubbed. We grow up with it, so it becomes second nature.Ditto. I forget I’m watching something with subtitles after the first bit usually. Some anime have terrible subs though and still use white text on screen which can be hard to read, something art films stopped doing long ago.
Yeah I can get that. I'd be like Voros and 3rik in that I don't even know I'm reading as such in a conscious sense after a while, hard to explain. Things like that can often be due to individual wiring. There obviously is a trade off in mental attention, so in some sense I probably am taking in the art less, but this might frustrate me less because I'm less artistically sensitive (not sure how to phrase this correctly) than you.One Punch Man I didn't have the patience to wait for the dub, so I watched the sub. But I still find it frustrating because for me it's all about the art. I for some reason don't mind subs in live action films at all
There is a difference in Japanese and English acting styles. Japanese has a lot more over the top melodrama tones that generally tend to sound ridiculous in English to me that would sound completely normal in Japanese for some reason.
The thing about NGE is that it is a deconstruction of the Giant Robot anime genre.
Just before I head off to bed, I read a few of the papers on the subject there and there seems to be a general agreement that if you watch a Sub you'll understand a scene better, but if you watch a Dub the overall narrative is comprehended better. Obviously there is individual variation.
I never read any manga, but I was into anime when I was younger (more than I am now). Star Blazers & Battle of the Planets were the first ones I remember watching. Some of my favorites are:
Ninja Scroll (movie, though I liked the tv series)
Megazone 23
Bubblegum Crisis (and associated anime, like AD Police Files, Madox - 01 and Parasite Dolls)
Cyber City Oedo
The first two Star Blazer series (never saw the third)
Battle of the Planets, Star Blazers, and Robotech are the holy trinity.
Same. Never bothered watching the series. I understand it's completely unrelated except for names of characters.
I could never really get into it. I only watched it because of it's tangential relation to Robotech (having been used for footage for Robotech the Movie). I find Megazone 23 (the first one) watchable, which is way more than I can say for Robotech The Movie.
I don't think I've ever heard of Parasite Dolls, but I'm a fan of all the rest.
I learned of this one thanks to The Spoony Experiment. Noah Antwiler was using footage from it and the cursing in order to illustrate how stupid anime was. For me it had the opposite effect. I saw that clip and was like "what is this show and where can I get it?"
I think the episode Psychic Trooper is the best. I also understand there's an alternate version of the dub with a different soundtrack, but I've never watched the other version.
Same. The station out of Dallas only showed the Iskandar and Comet Empire seasons as far as I'm aware. I've never seen Bolar Wars or watched any of the movies which came after Comet Empire.
To me, the ending of Comet Empire is perfect. There's just that sound of the Yamato/Argo's engines as she returns to Earth for the denouement. What else can really be said? There doesn't need to be anything more after that. Anything after that just ruins the feeling of that one beautiful moment.
So of course one of the movies literally picks up one second after that ending shot. Bah!
All that said, definitely check out Yamato 2199 (Star Blazers 2199) if you haven't already. It's a really good remake. I like it better than the original Iskandar story.
I used to occasionally catch German-overdubbed episodes of Captain Future (キャプテン・フューチャー Kyaputen Fyūchā ), which never made it onto Dutch televison. Would love to see the subtitled Japanese language originals, produced by Toei in 1978, someday. There were apparently 53 episodes. They've so far proven impossible to find, though I read there's a Blue Ray boxset of the original series with German subtitles, that also contains the German-language edit of the series that was broadcast on German television. I can understand spoken German fairly well, but I'm very slow at reading it...
Sarazanmai just ended!
Tell us more about it.
Cool, I like Kappas.
