End of EVA dub commentary samples

(only a few samples from the first half of the movie)

"Commentary of Evil - A term, popularized by Dr. Nick, that refers to the notorious commentary track spanning Manga Entertainment's two NGE releases (Death & Rebirth and End of Evangelion), featuring the ever-insightful Amanda Winn Lee, Jason C. Lee (her husband and dub voice of Aoba), and Taliesin Jaffe (who does... something or other). While the track has some comedic merit, it is good for little else, packed head-to-toe with misinformation and shameless endorsement of the movies' dub (which even NGE dubbies tend to agree is a disappointment!) and the oftentimes horrifying decisions she made producing it (including [replacing a slap with a gunshot sound effect]). Jaffe gets a break because he at least attempted to present some worthwhile material, even if he wasn't 100% on track either ("Samhel"?). For something meant to accompany a very complicated and serious work of art, their commentary is offensively inadequate. Adding insult to injury, of course, is the fact that many of the poor noobs who listen to it will, not knowing any better, parrot the commentary's BS until set straight by more wisened geeks."

"Neon Genesis Evangelion is a dramatic character study that uses psychological references and themes in order to convey and analyze, through character development and psychoanalysis, the various mental illnesses and emotional problems of the principal cast, all of which is set against the backdrop of a deconstruction of the Humongous Mecha genre and a commentary on post-postwar Japanese society, and which also uses Christian and Kabbalistic symbolism to apply subtext to the show's various themes and plot points." - tvtropes

Wait...people don't like this commentary? Man, after watching this suicide-fuel, you NEED this commentary.

The commentary of this movie is the highlight of the franchise.

Lauging at the girls who didn't understand that Shinji was jerking off, but then calling semen "Baby Butter"?

Oh the irony.

@nineteenct Watching Eva high is the only way for it to make sense.

Either that or watching it sober and paying a hell of a lot of attention.
