Man, that was a lot to take in. I've watched it once through with the English track and the home video subs. Took quite a few notes and observations, especially on those ambiguous lines. Overall, there were no big terminology changes like I'd feared from the disclaimer.It looks like a lot of Mari and Asuka's stuff was redubbed and edited, for the better, I think. A lot of Shinji and Kaworu's is the same as the youtube version. So it's not a full redub, but there were some pretty significant changes.Here's what I noted. I'll indicate when something's taken from the subs:*Unit 02's space pod is "2 dash" instead of "oh two prime." Same with Unit 08's being just "Pod 8."*Asuka didn't mention an Anti-AT Field from 4A in the original dub but she does in this one.*As I said, Mari is "Four-Eyed Crony." Asuka is "Princess," "Highness," and "boss."*Near Third Impact is "N3I"*Sakura says Shinji will never be allowed to take the DSS Choker off, not ever. He begs for them to please help him remove it.Maya complains about the crew being whiners and says that's why she hates young men.*Unit 01 is still Unit 01. No 01 Units here!*Misato calls Ritsuko "XO" a couple times.*Unit 02' is "Unit 02 Improved" and "Unit 02 I"*Shinji begs to do something to help out when the Wunder attacks. He sounds so desperate that you really feel bad for him.*Misato's line is: "Listen closely, Shinji. From this moment on, you do nothing."*"Pillars of Light" is capitalized in the HV subs.*Sakura and Ritsuko make it very clear that they ARE trying to explain things to Shinji in the quarantine room scene. Ritsuko is very to the point in her explanations*When Shinji finds out what the DSS choker does, he says, "Misato, you'd really let me die?" in a very wounded voice. Right in the feels!*Sakura is a 2nd lieutenant and her brother's name is spelled "Tohji" in the subs.*The Curse of Eva is "the curse of the Evas."*Mari calls Shinji "Our Little Puppy" when she's talking to Asuka on the phone. This bit is great.*It's more clear that the telepathic voice Shinji is hearing is coming from Rei Q and Mark.09. She calls him "Shinji Ikari" at first and then switches to just "Shinji."*Misato tells Shinji "you're staying with us" when the Mark.09 attacks with no mention of protection, but the subs say they're keeping him in protective custody. They also play up Shinji's belief that Mark.09 is Unit 00. Misato sounds sad when she tells Shinji Rei's no longer in this world.*Here's an interesting one. The Vessel is "The Vessel of the Adams" in the dub but "Adams' Vessel" in the HV subs.*When Mark.09 flies away, Mari yells, "Hey, I'm talking to you! Come back here, jack-ass!"*Asuka does not call Shinji an asshole, just a brat. For most of the battle in Dogma, she still calls him Idiot Shinji.*Eva 13 is just Eva Unit 13. Nothing to indicate the "dai" in its name. It's also called this in the subs.*Kaworu pronounces his name oddly. It sounded like "Cow-a-ru Nagi-sa." Shinji says it the more familiar way and slightly rolls the "r."*Kaworu's explanation of Third Impact is mostly the same.*The Doors of Guf are the "Gates of Guf" in both sub and dub. They pronounce it "Goff."*Kaworu is "The Seele Boy." Shinji is still the Third Child in the dub, but the subs call him Third Boy.*Fuyutsuki's infodump on Shinji is mostly the same too.*When Shinji questions Rei Q after his conversation with Rei Q, the subs say, "You are the one I saved, right?"*Kaworu and Shinji are on a first-name basis. In the scene where they would go by first names, Kaworu says he's Shinji's friend, and Shinji affirms that Kaworu really is a great friend, like he's amazed at the idea.*Kaworu refers to the plug in the main shaft as "Lilith's seal."*Kaworu says a replica can't retrieve a spear because their soul resides somewhere else.*Mari says she can't kill the Vessel, but she can pin it down. This is in the subs. In the dub, she says she can't blow its head off, but she can slow it down.*Asuka says Shinji caused one Impact and asks if he wants to cause another, and calls him naive when he says they can redo everything. I didn't notice the subs for this part. But for the most part, Asuka is telling him to stop trying to help because it only makes things worst, and that the best thing he can do is get out of the Eva.*Subs: Mari tells Rei to get out of Mark.09 before she becomes part of the Vessel.*This is a weird one: Weird one: Dub Asuka tells Shinji to "Lie down and take your punishment! Quit fighting!" But in the subs, she says "SHUT UP AND LET ME KILL YOU, IDIOT Shinji." I don't know what to make of that but I don't like it.*Kaworu says he, the 1st Angel, was utterly defeated by the 13th. He does say later that he became the 13th Angel.*Here's a very interesting one. Gendo does not say that Seele abandoned the killing of god as in UTW-Thora's translation. He said that they desired it (dub) and resigned themselves to it (sub). He also says that Seele are beings with the Fruit of Knowledge who have changed their shape but cannot escape death when it comes for them. They are honoring Seele by returning their souls to where they belong.*Mari says Eva 13 "must be a straggler Adam." The subs and dubs are identical. When it awakens, Asuka says it is advancing "beyond the pseudo DMS phase."*The Vessel of Adams is the Wunder's true master, same as before.*Asuka speaks in a raspy, growly voice when she's in Code 777 mode. It's actually kinda creepy at first. She's still full ham and cheese when she shoots the Vessel in the core, though.*Misato sounds frustrated at Shinji after the Vessel is dislodged. She just says, "Shinji," but you can hear the implied, "God damn it, Shinji."*When Asuka reads Shinji the riot act at the end, she dresses him down for being a selfish brat who thinks shutting up is the answer. "You didn't even come to my rescue. Thanks a lot."*Asuka says Rei Q is from the original batch of Ayanami clones. Sub and dub.*The L-barrier is "L containment field." Both sub and dub. They also call the barrier around the main engine a containment field.*The title for the next movie is "Shin Evangelion Theatrical Edition" and the subtitles say to stay tuned for more special goodies. That's promising!It'll take a few re-watches to compare everything and see how the home video subs line up with the dub, but the most significant divergence I saw was that bit about Asuka killing Shinji. I do think the dub was very well done over all and definitely up to the standard set by the others.
