Based on this tweet from Rei's original dub VA, Netflix will be re-dubbing Evangelion after they acquired the streaming rights to the series. No one is quite sure why, but it might be a licensing issue stemming from the company who did Eva's English dub not having the rights to it themselves to give it to Netflix. Asuka and Shinji's dub VA's also commented on the situation and started online campaigns to be brought back to reprise their roles, but it's possible, maybe even likely that Netflix will forego the original cast.



On one hand, Eva's dub is one of the more iconic English dubs from the 90's, and it's a major source of nostalgia for some people. On the other hand, a lot of people have said that Eva's dub wasn't actually that good, and updating it with modern sound quality and younger, fresher voice actors might actually be a good thing for the series. To those who watched Eva with its original dub (you sub elitists can stuff it) what do you think of this development? Are you okay with Netflix re-dubbing the series? Are you okay with them recasting everyone, even the main characters, or would you prefer to see at least the old VA's of the main cast (Shinji, Asuka, Rei, and Misato) reprise their roles? "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!"
