A lot of speculation going on about the potential new rug for Evangeliom. Rumours flying if they're getting any of the old cast or not. A lot of thoughts as to why it may be being redubbed beyond just artist interest.

One is that, like many dubs frok that era, the right to it were held by ADV (aje now by Sehtai I assume) and the licensor would rather have one they fully own or possibly due to possible bad relations between AEV/Sentai and GWINAX? Can't confirm any of it though.

 

[IncendiaryLemon]

I can't imagine they'd go through the effort of replacing a perfectly good, not to mention beloved, dub for no good reason, so there must be some justification behind it.

 

[Mr L]

There are still artistic arguments to be made in its favour. Beloved or not, there are things you could tightej up. Though certainly there are far less reasons compared to likes of say, Sailor Moon.

I do wonder why it changed for the rebuilds when the JP cast didn’t. Which is why Misato is still best girl having Usagi’s JP VA helps
