Never say never, but I doubt that will happen. English dubs are expensive and (outside of Netflix) I wouldn’t expect any other company to pony up the cash to redub the other films on top of the fourth film.

I grew up with tiffany amanda and spike. I may have to switch to watching it sub more.

To be fair, we never got Amanda Winn-Lee in the Rebuild films. Brina Palencia took her place, and to her credit, few recognize the difference.

Those are both funny ways to spell "Yūko Miyamura", must be something to do with romanizing kanji or something...

And here I thought Megumi Hayashibara is the seiyuu of Rei. I had it all wrong. Fank you, than.

[Xtempo]

It's been both Megumis since the beginning hasn't it? Ogato and Hayashibara. I always wondered if that made things easy having the same name.

Brina Palencia I liked way more, Amanda's quiet talking voice, really started to annoy my after watching the english dub a number of times, I think Brina brings more emotion out of her performance, but that could also be the writing of the Rebuilds as well.

I just hope we get ADV's dub on the remasters as an option, please not Netflix, PLEASE!

Almost April and no official release date yet. I'm beginning to think Early 2021 was b.s.

I think they revised the "Early" out of their initial press release. We'll probably be getting it around mid-autumn at the earliest.

Wait...does Justin do work for both Discotek and GKIDS?

[InuYashaCrusade]

I'm guessing we'll get info in summer. June or July.

[SmittysGelato]

Wait...Project A-ko is in that list ...Does that mean there is a blu-ray coming? =O

I hope so. Once June comes around - it'll have been a year since it was announced and not a single news update.

Anime Limited.

[Naiera]

But not on all their (Anime Ltd.) releases.

[Naiera]

Would be awesome if he did all their stuff, of course.

Sadly, I don't think Eva is going to get anything from the original release of the 90's. Companies and industry insiders absolutely know that fans want the original dub and songs, and it would be a selling point to be able to announce that a new, upcoming bluray release would have everything included. But the longer this release goes without any announcements being made, the more one has to believe nothing is gonna happen (but that doesn't mean Western companies won't fight until the bitter end to change the original owner's minds).

As a marketing strategy, keeping a major selling point a secret (like including the original dub) just means less hype and less sales. On the other hand, though, keeping it a secret that you didn't get what fans want might produce more sales because fans are gonna blindly buy and hope for the best... And I'm sure all Western companies involved with releasing this would rather take their time (and possibly delay the release?) to get everything they can, hoping they can change the original owner's minds about not including the dub. But you gotta figure if a company thinks the original translations are why the franchise is failing (it's not), then they're not gonna budge on what Western fans want, and the Western licensors aren't gonna publicly come out and say, "we can't include it, but please do buy our product that you kinda don't want because we don't have the original dub or songs in it."

Oh Lord how I wish I didn't sell my platinum dvd set a couple years ago now =(

Still have mine but I'd love to upgrade.

[InuYashaCrusade]

This is why I said people shouldn't sell their Platinum sets until we had confirmation on original dub and the ED. Thankfully neither of those things matter to me, so I sold mine a while ago.
