Neon Genesis Evangelion (Netflix dub)

mh:besttvshows:Neon Genesis Evangelion 's Netflix release is infamous for removing the credits song "Fly Me To The Moon" and poor subtitle translation in the near end.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The end credits' cover of Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me To The Moon" was removed everywhere outside of Japan, despite the fact that Netflix had more than enough money to acquire it, and replaced by Rei's theme.
 * 2) * Fans even made a Google Chrome extension that plays "Fly Me To The Moon" after the end of every episode.
 * 3) The English dub audio is off-sync in some scenes.
 * 4) Kaworu's line in Episode 24 has drawn criticism for changing the word "love" to "like" and "grace". However, the word "like" had in fact been used in the first official VHS dub, as the later "grace" changed "sympathy" and "regard", not "love". This notion was based on pre-2000 fansubs.
 * 5) * Do note however that this viewpoint is mostly pushed by shippers, as there is debate on the meaning of words like suki, ai or koui, the latter two were even misheard in older fansubs, even though the Japanese script and subtitles are explicit about neutral language being used.
 * 6) If you want to hear the dubbed versions of the upcoming episode previews, you have to click on the screen when it gets to the end credits theme.
 * 7) Some of the on-screen text is not translated.
 * 8) As of now, none of the issues have been fixed, despite them being easy to fix since Netflix has a huge amount of money (except for the one below).
 * 9) The Italian dub was so poorly translated that Netflix apologized and agreed to redub the series with a new translation.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Aside from changing Kaworu's lines and the audio being off-sync, the new English dub's voice acting is very good and even surpasses the ADV dub at some points. It also users age-appropriate actors, unlike ADV's middle aged ones.
 * 2) "A Cruel Angel's Thesis" and mh:greatestmovies:The End of Evangelion 's ending theme, "Thanatos: If I Can't Be Yours", are still intact and as iconic as ever.
 * 3) The French Netflix dub is a huge improvement over the original French dub.
 * 4) The Latin American Spanish Netflix dub of Death and Rebirth and The End of Evangelion was the first time Latin-American viewers were able to watch these movies in their native languages.
 * 5) Because the new localization was made by Khara themselves and not a third party, it is far, far more accurate than the previous ones and fixes dozens of mistakes and arbitrary alterations made by ADV.
