If Sony or Warner Bros put out the new EVA movies, I'd much rather they dubbed them with fresh ears and a new cast. As much as I like the original cast, I've heard variations on those performances three different times (the original episodes, the movie versions put out by Manga, and then the Director's cut versions of the episodes).

Dude, it's just different cultural mindset. Plus you guys are starting to have similar massive Anime boom that happened in 2001-2004 period in U.S. Once the boom fades, I got this feeling that European licensee will be hurting unless they have titles other than Anime.
Is there a such thing as official Hong Kong version?? Blu-ray or not, people will complain again about how "high" anime video price is when new video format comes out in 10 to 15 years from now. Anime companies here aren't making money despite growing demands for new titles. Licensing new titles and setting up distribution channel to keep their companies afloat has been difficult for past few years.

Honestly, I kinda agree. Being a Greg Ayres fangirl I hope that he'd still be Kaworu, or at least someone on the cast--he's such a big Eva fanboy that it's a blast just giving him something from the series to sign, so I know he'd put in a lot of effort and care into the performance--but otherwise I think it'd be fun to hear different takes on the characters. Besides, I think some the people involved in the original dub don't even work in anime dubs anymore. This is assuming that it'd really be a different take, though. If the new actors would just try to mimic the old actors, I'd rather just have the old cast. |

Me being a kaworu fan girl hopes greg ayres gets to play him but I think crispin freeman might do a good job. Yes the eva production committee is crazy...I have come to that conclusion
I don't think I like this mari girl though because it might lead to shinji having a harem full of girls....and one boy. Well evangelion always was good for a twist

Crispin Freeman as Kaworu? Really? Don't get me wrong, I love Crispin Freeman, but I don't think he's quite right for it at all. Kaji I could see, but...not Kaworu.

From what I hear they changed the logos for Nerv and Seele in the new films. That's more than enough changing things around for my tastes. |

The "boom" is already over in Germany. ADV Germany and Tokyopop Germany stopped making DVD since last year, and we there's for example no Gurren Lagann for us in sight. Ufa Anime, who licenced Eva 1.01 in Germany did have a large sucess with the Ghiblie movies, so I think they are now trying to continue with other High Quality animes.
It is sold in official shops and it has a region code (e.g. check yesasia.com, play-asia.com). I think it's as "legit" as the other versions. |

Well I guess after I heard him as albedo is xenosaga it seemed like a good fit. |

Ahhh, I see. I haven't heard him as that...I'd forgotten he played that role, though. albedo is a similar character, from what I've heard about him, so maybe he could pull it off... |

I was really surprised when I figured out it was him. It's nice to know that he doesn't sound the same in every role like that one time I was half sleep watching code geass and thought bleach was on

Oooh, dude, don't rag on Johnny Young Bosch, I like him! You don't need to have an amazing voice range to be a good voice actor.
Although I guess that's starting to get off topic. |

I like him too but it's true you know.. and as someone who is seriously considering voice acting as a career choice I now know that it's not all about range but it's still funny and he at least doesn't annoy me too much with it...not like aya hirano does
but back on topic does anyone know anything else about this mari girl? I'm assuming that the new eva is hers and I'm wondering if she's going to take hikari's place as asuka's best friend or live in the house with them but I think she might be more connected to asuka than anyone. |

Wasn't as impressed with the first one as I had hoped to be, unfortunately. I hope this one is better overall.
