Neon Genesis Evangelion on Netflix |OT| She Said, 'Don't Make Others Suffer by Posting Spoilers.'
- Thread starter munchie64

5 years? Netflix original has a exclusivity of 5 years renewable afaik
I know this isnt a netflix original.. but originally they wanted to put that tag in eva before the backlash
So who knows what the deal with khara is
I watched the first 4 episodes last night and I come here to see that there have been changes that people are mad about - I'm curious to know if it's something I should worry about but the thread about it says "spoilers" in the title so I don't want to click it...
The only significant change is in Episode 24. I wouldn't click on the spoiler before that.
There's some stylistic changes but those don't matter much for a first time viewer.
Nothing you should be concerned about until after you've finished as a first timer
the main difference people are upset with in this localization is something very late in the show.
There's music missing from two scenes in the show (in episodes 15 and 21) and the same song was replaced during end credits of every episode. Written Japanese shown on screen (some of which is important) is often left untranslated. Some questionable translations in both subtitles and the dub.
How far are you? Or have you already watched the series along with End of Eva?
lol I watched the first episode and he's being a whiney boy already
What about adding instant curry to it too ? Never did that. Seems worth a try.
Honestly, it's not a big deal. Watch it and then find the original scene people are complaining about to see the difference, it's in episode 24. Don't search for it before.
"Tune in next time for lots more fan service" is the promise at the end of episode one. Ha.
I don't mind the piano piece during the end credits but it totally gives the end of the show a much more somber vibe instead of the weird and twisted vibe provided by "Fly Me to the Moon." Still, no big deal and doesn't ruin the show for me at all.
The pronunciation of NERV caught me off guard, though.
And what's with the "third children" line instead of "third child"?

Usually I just use the sauce that comes with it, but I might have to try that too.
Anyway, was going to just check out one episode today but I'm on episode 6 right now. EVA hype!
Thank you very much for all these information in the OT!
I always wanted to catch up with NGE, but not only was it hard to find, but it was also confusing as heck for me to get into it, because I knew there were several movies and I didn't even know where to start.
Now, it's finally time and I watched the very first episode. So far it seems exciting enough - especially the music, sort of triumphiant bu-t still melancholic. really kicked me in the best way. Apart from that it was an interesting mix between the typical anime melodrama, some surprising comedy and a huge action set-up - not the worst combination! And I really dig the design of the angel right now, seems very otherworldy. It will be interesting to prorgress, since I've heard that the show will also reach some philosophical aspects, which is something I wouldn't have expected from a Mecha Anime to be honest.
A last question: I'd like to listen the podcast from episode to episode. Has anybody here already listened to it and could tell me, if they spoil or are they really only working with the information presented in the respective episodes?

i usually do as much as the packaging says for boiling but then drain a lot of it out before adding in the seasoning. bolder flavor that way imo
it can be pretty sexual
but in like a Freudian/confused teenager way
not in a weird anime twitter picture porny way
You'll find that Gainax was extremely horny on main at all times.
Watch FLCL some time.
Rei Ayanami fan service is one of the worst things to ever happen to anime.
Asuka just showed up on my rewatch and wow the fanservice just jumps from there.
At least until the Rebuilds perv it all up. Just make sure not to look at any of the merchandise or tie-in video games because it's a waifu clusterfuck all the way down.
Which podcast are you talking about? I feel pretty into this show right now too and would love to be part of the fan experience. (I watched the anime in the 90s)
Definitely. It's funny being somewhat bothered by it at my age now while I remember seeing way, waaaaayyyyyyy more gratuitous material in the mid-late 2000s when I was still super invested with anime.
That's true. Eva's fanservice isn't as explicit as even other Gainax shows, but it sure does love its Male Gaze.
It stays like that for the first dozen episodes or so, then you still get Angel attack episodes but the tone shifts to a more character focused psychodrama, and then for the last few episodes is where it really goes places.
So like I saw the series last year, and there's really few like it in terms of how the camera and frames are blocked and how fluid the animation is and the sound design. But I also find it really strange and gross about the nudity and sexualization of the 13-year old girls.
Making this post because I am actually watching EoE for the first time and that opening scene is WOW.

Evageeks has apparently confirmed that the translation was in fact done in house at Khara by Dan Kanemitsu. So y'all better be complaining directly to Anno about the translation stuff.
I think most of the dub is an improvement, at least after the first few episodes. Most of the side characters are improvements, especially the classmates and the SEELE talking heads.
I've watched the first like 4 episodes way back but never finished it because I didn't feel like being put in a depressing state after finishing it. Giving it a new watch this weekend and plan on getting through most of it before Monday. I'm so excited!
I think Funimation has the rights to those, so maybe not? I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure that's who released them in the West. Some Funi stuff has come to Netflix before though, so we'll see.
