Evangelion’s release on Netflix being met with gatekeepy discourse about changes exempting it from being a “true” version sucks It’s a lack of perspective not to understand that even a 95% complete version of the show being available to a massive new audience is a net positive
-
the thing is that, legalities aside, the 100 percent is very easily available online and has been for years...and within that context only putting up 95 percent feels like a poor argument for netflix as a source for anime...does exposure matter when that exposure’s inaccurate?
is it really 'inaccurate' tho? or is it just different from the version we're used to? the new English version is by all accounts far more faithful to the original Japanese script than the translation we grew up with

translation wise it's not a problem imo. i don't believe it's ever possible to translate even one word into another language perfectly. the ending theme thing is what disappointed me. probably nitpicking, but music is music

dorky example, but would people be okay with 2001: a space odyssey suddenly missing blue danube? Probably not.

also "music is music" was supposed to be shorthand for something like "music is important and something we all fixate on, so hopefully it's understandable on some level"

If content is missing you can also go back to the source material, if you liked the new one you'll probably want more and go back to the source material anyway!
