Mmmmm Napalm · June 21, 2019, 09:25:53 AM

Yeah I've been looking forward to this release for a while.

Ian · June 21, 2019, 11:04:33 AM

I don’t have Netflix, considering I already have the Japanese BD box I’ll probably pass on watching it this go around. Let me know how Asuka’s VA is.

Ian · June 21, 2019, 07:45:44 PM

I personally find her voice insufferable and whenever I ask anybody who does like her portrayal why, they give me bullshit like "She's a fan of the show". I get so fucking agitated at that answer. It has no basis on her ability to portray the character; if that's all it took I'd be the best Hei from Dark Than Black out there. I also find that she makes Asuka come off as way too whiny, although she toned down the bratiness a bit in NTE.

Not like the North Korean chicken noises they tried to pass for a catchphrase in the original was much better.

Spoiler

i would've put this in a spoiler tag, probably

anyway, i actually like this new translation more, simply because they don't say "i love you" in japan (and even if he did, the actual words he was using do not directly translate to that anyway), so having him say something else is not only more accurate to the language, it makes their blossoming relationship feel a lot less rushed

kaworu was always my least favorite part of the show because of how suddenly he appears and how quickly the show expects us to give a shit about him, but this makes his appearance just a bit more tolerable

idiots will probably consider this to be gay censorship or something

i probably should but i've heard such bad things about 3.0 that i feel very discouraged

Ian · June 22, 2019, 06:07:25 PM

I disagree; you would probably really like 3.0. Most of the complaints was from blatant waifufags upset that Anno gave them the second half of what makes Eva....well Eva. Not only that but Kaworu and Shinji's relationship isn't as quick/forced as it is in the show.

One real easy way to tell if you'd like NTE (or 3.0 more specifically), is ask yourself "Did I like episodes 21-24?" If the answer is yes then start Rebuild immediately.

Ian · June 22, 2019, 07:48:00 PM

Doing some basic research I see that the entire series has "Fly Me To The Moon" cut entirely from each episode, including cases where it's even in the actual show proper and not just the ending (such as episodes 15 & 21). That's a real blight in my opinion, the awkward silence doesn't fit at all. i don't think there's any real reason for this decision other than Netflix deciding that getting 26 different copyrights for the same song was a little tedious (especially since the menu has an auto-skip about five seconds into an ending which most people actually use) but they should at least keep the tracks that appear in the actual show. Although FUNimation had a similar instance with the release of 1.11 where the "Fly Me To The Moon" trailers weren't included in the extras.

Other noticeable changes include: The intermission after DEATH, and D&R and EoE being in their own separate listings. The first change I can understand as that could lead to some confusion, but the second one might actually cause confusion. Also the On Air/broadcast cuts of 21-24 aren't included; they probably thought that these were an inferior version of the episodes and thus didn't bother with them.

Further edit: It should also be noted that the script was translated by Dan Kanemitsu, Studio Khara's in-house translator. I believe he's the same individual who monitored the rewrite of FUNimation's 3.0 dub. If this is the case, what we have with Netflix's script (at least the Japanese & American releases) are just as valid as previous releases (some other countries have some pretty awful translations from what I'm seeing and it appears they weren't as heavily monitored if at all).

You know I'm not a waifufag, and even I agree 3.33 was literally the Halo 5 of EVA. The bait and switch they pulled betwen 2.0 and 3.0 was a bigger lie than Halo 5s entire marketing campaign if it was also run by Donald Trump and Bethesda. Also, It's gone from everyone having mental hangups to everyone just being plain mentally retarded.
I'd elaborate but I don't want to spoil verb and I need to get back to Monster Hunter.

Ian · June 23, 2019, 08:00:15 AM

I would argue it wasn't any more of a bait & switch than NGE was. Compare episodes like "Both of You, Dance Like You Want to Win!" & "Magma Diver" to episodes like "Don't Be" & "Rei III". Q represents that same turning point thematically; lore/world building wise, there's too many hints thrown all over the movie for what we see not to be carefully planned.

The short teaser at the end of 2.0? Its not at all like Halo 5's actual marketing campaign though.

Wasnt it just a bunch of clips leading into what we got in 3.0? Seems to me they just wanted to compress it all meaning the teaser is kinda relevant.

I will use this thread to post the big news since we're already on the subject of New Theatrical Edition:

https://www.khara.co.jp/2019/06/24/shin_eva_0706/

Studio Khara will be using Japan Expo in Paris on July 6th to show a world-wide release of the first ten minutes and forty seconds of Evangelion 3.0+1.0.

what he says in the old translation is more impactful though, imo

rather than "I'm the lowest of the low," he says "I'm so fucked up."
