Evangelion 1.01 English Dad...... I mean Dub.

17.11.2009 by Adrian A. Lozano

I just watched the first 8 minuets of the Evangelion 1.01 English Dub on YouTube and I still think English dubbing still has a long way to go. I'm not against dubbing of anime totally, there's just hasn't been allot of quality dub jobs in the the last 5 years. The Eva clip in English is just far to soft, no edge, no tension in the majority of the voice acting. Shinji's lines about his dad should feel more shaken with a hint of mistrust, the English dialog delivery just feels way out of touch with the charter. I'm not even concerned about it being a perfect translation, my main issue is the lack of emotion and disconnect with the background music.
