However, along with the excitement, some fans are actually nervous about how this new version of Neon Genesis Evangelion will play – and they’re taking to social media to voice those concerns! Scroll below to get the immediate concerns fans have about Netflix changing on one of the most acclaimed animes ever!
So Long O.G.’s…
They let us audition- AFTER we found out auditions were being held and raised a fuss. But I wouldnโt be surprised if they threw out the files as soon as we left the studio. They never had any intention of involving us.

Fans are already lamenting this confirmation from the O.G.ย Evangelionย voice cast that they won’t be returning. So long, an thanks for al the awesome memories!ย

netflix: with no option to listen to the original english dub! haha!

In world where everything is customizable, Netflixย is giving fans very little choice.ย
Gonna Cost Ya
@netflix You guys reallllly fucked up with not putting the OG dub of Neon Genesis Evangelion your service. Not interested. I’m all for a redub, but the fact that you so rudely snubbed the great voice actors who made the dub of that show work was really cruel.
โ Nathan Wilburn (@NathanWilburn1) March 27, 2019
Yeah… not including that OG dub might wind up backfiring on Netflix. Animeย die-hardsย aren’t feeling this!ย
What’s Good for the Goose…
@NXOnNetflix so question why is Hunter x Hunter and inuyasha and all these other animes on Netflix are allowed to keep their original English dubs but neon Genesis evangelion doesn’t just saying Netflix there are a lot of people who love the original English dub for that show.

Seriously, it’s not like other Netflixย animesย are forced to give up their original dubs – so why isย Evangelionย being treated differently?ย
Open to Change
Iโm no longer excited about Neon Genesis Evangelion coming to Netflix after learning it was being re-dubbed. The original english dub was fine, donโt fix what ainโt broken, but who knows, maybe the new dub will blow me away. Only time will tell

Fans sure don’t like this – but some of the more level-headed ones are open to being impressed all over again.ย
