| So, opinions on the dub? I'll post mine later in the thread, but just to get the ball rolling: I think it's one of the best dubs ever! :D Discuss! |
| Well with Eva, it's difficult to truly understand the series while reading the subs. I mean yeah you could do it.. But it's so much easier when you're not wasting 5-10 seconds reading. |

| I have to say that the dub rocks and it is one of my favorites. All the voices just seem to fit the person. Of course, I must add that I did watch the dub first so my opinion may be slightly biased but after I watched We Are Not Alone I was slightly disappointed that there was no English dubbing. It didn't really take away but ... it just seemed like there was something missing. |

| I can't exactly say if the dub is good or not since i generally don't like dubs. But i must say that NGE is one anime that has one of the best original voices. Especially not hearing the voice of Ayanmi Rei in her original Japanese voice should be a crime. I also want to say that in general the English language is a more light language. How can i say this, an easy going language. So when you watch the dub you lose some of that sentimental heavy psychological spirit of the series. |
| Is it just me or did Shinji's voice in the dub just drive you up the wall.... |

| For me all Dub anime is crap. There are only a few that I can stand to even watch, with that said Evangelion for me id better with subs. I watched this anime when it was first released in America, I bought all the VHS tapes, yes I have them on VHS lol but I got them from Sunrise video in the local mall here and they were dub. So for years before I got them on DVD I watched them dubed. But after I watched it with the original Japanese language I can never go back. There was just way to much of the story that was lost in translation so to speak. Don't get me wrong the actors did a great job. Rei was as close to the original voice actress I could ever hope for. I just did not feel that Shinji or his father were as good as the original. |

| I´m a German so i watched NGE with Ger Dub, i think the German Dub is one of the best Dubs together with Elfen Lied, but the Translations are in every language different so i watched the Dub and Sub Versions, and i must say that helped me a bit to understand the story |
| Hello, new to this club, nice to meet y'all. As for me, I had no problem with the dub at all. I agree with gatotsu911's comment about how the performance was pretty good, especially in the emotion heavy scenes. Though to be quite frank, I did kind of think Shinji's voice was a little whiny at times but then again I can always chuck that to the fact that the kid is suppose to be young and he is pretty much thrown into something much bigger than he is, a little whining is acceptable lol. |
 |
| its ok you can somehow understand the story better |
| I like the Japanese version better, for sure, but the dub is alright. |
| Fingers crossed for Tiffany Grant as Asuka in Evangelion 2.0 |
| It's pretty decent. It's not bebop though. |

| Besides The End of Evangelion, I usually watch the dub exclusively. I think it's excellent considering when it came out. The sub is also amazing as well. |
| My problem with the dubs are the small artistic differences that have vast consequences for what the show is trying to convey, especially towards the end of the series. A lot of what is spoken in Japanese has a very cold, neutral, realistic tone to it describing influence over reality, but in the English dubs small changes in interpretation cause the same ideas to be cast in a more hopeful and spiritual way almost urging a direct cause/effect control over reality, this bothered me a lot when my friend was watching the dubs. She's a spiritual person and I am the most secular scientific logical asshole you'll ever meet, so I did not appreciate my favorite series reinforcing her astrologically-influenced mindset when Anno's idea was to reveal a harsh but true reality filled with opportunity you can build through hard work and effort. I am nitpicking several sentences hardcore here though. |

| The VA in the eva dub is just meh. It's what I'd expect out of most dubs. It's the translation errors that make it terrible. To be fair, many of the translation errors where also in the official subs, but that's what fansubs are for. There are several scenes in the last 2 episodes and EoE that get messed up. most importantly, the scenes where shinji rejects instrumentality, in both versions. The tv version has shinji saying that "this world of reality" isn't that bad instead of "the world of reality" isn't that bad, which makes it seem like shinji is accepting instrumentality instead of rejecting it, and the EoE dub has shinji rejecting instrumentality because he wants to inflict pain on people, when he actually rejects it for nearly the opposite reason. There's also some other scenes that got messed up. One in particular that cones to mind is the scene in 22 where there's all the asukas saying different things asuka has said throughout the series followed by her saying "None of those are the real me." In the Japanese version, they have different voice actors from the series say asuka's lines, followed by Yuko Miyamura saying "None of those are the real me." In the dub, they just have Tiffany Grant say all the lines. Not only does the scene lose some of it's meaning, it also makes no sense. Also, in episode 26, when shinji learns to live with himself, the Japanese version has Asuka and Misato saying the line with shinji. It's not just shinji learning to live with himself, it's all 3 of them. The dub ignores this entirely, only having shinji say the line. And nothing will ever beat Yuko Miyamura yelling "Anta Baka?!" at shinji. But the EoE dub is just awful. Especially that jelly sound. And don't even get me started on the Manga entertainment and ADV "special" features (but that's a topic for another time). Also, why does MAL have a cancel button on quick reply? I typed this entire damn thing up on my phone, only to slip and tap the cancel button so I had to type the whole thing up again. |

| The dub of Eva starts off pretty shit but in my opinion becomes one of the best dubs after episode 12 and especially in end of evangelion |
