Funimation preps for Evangelion 1.0 "You Are (Not) Alone" dub release - OpMegs - 06-16-2009
Trailer's already up for the dub
Apparently, theaters across North America have been scheduled to
screen it as well.
Naturally, aside from a bunch of anime conventions, only a handful are in the US. Of course, all the Canadian showings are one day only specials.
Nonetheless, nifty looking, and at least this means it'll get released on DVD here. Big surprise, given how much GAINAX's managed to re-release the old
TV series since its debut.
EDIT: Youtube trailer was yoinked, so I dug up the link on Funimation's website instead. Better quality, anyway.

The theatre link is annoying -- although it's a valid URL it'll turn up a 404 page. Just use the site search for "eva 1.0 american screens"
and it'll be the first hit.
I'm disappointed that there are no showings on the East Coast other than Boston. I'd be willing to travel to see this in a theatre, but not quite that
far.

Yeah. The closest showing to my location is Seattle, or alternatively, Canada. Either's quite a bit more hassle than I'd be willing to go to in order
to see it in a theater.
Frankly, I'm just glad it confirms that they're releasing it in English. Given how long it took to cross the Pacific, I was wondering if the Eva cash
cow train had finally run out of steam over here in the States.

Quite right -- it could have easily been something as simple as scheduling -- "Sorry, I'm committed to project X when you want me for this. I have no
flexibiliy, do you?" "Nope, sorry."

hold against him disliking the role if he had to do End of Eva. I'd be looking at the paycheck and wondering if it
was worth it after getting to voice Shinji for that. :lol
