Netflix's Neon Genesis Evangelion

Post by **Expendable** » 28 Jun 2019, 02:00

As you may have heard, Netflix managed to secure the worldwide rights to the original Neon Genesis Evangelion - but not Funimation's English Translation of it.

In it, Rei is referred to as "the First Children" instead of "First Child."

Spoiler:

Shinji and Asuka are the "Second Children" and "Third Children"

Text remains largely untranslated.

And the end song is not "Fly me to the Moon" - issues over licencing rights. It's one of the interim music.

I've just watched the first episode, still the same animation, just new voices reading a slightly different script.

Netflix is just awful at translation in the first place

I think the translation is Netflix' least problem as far as anime is concerned.

But it still is a problem.

I i watched it all it was ok but it did not feel as connected to characters as i did with original dubbed version

from what i've heard they cut out kaworu's flirting with shinji

that kinda kills a whole slew of motivating factors and interests for shinji since he'd never had someone interested in him and always felt cast out
