![]() Others include background crowd noise in school scenes and announcements at train stations. Specifically speaking, the majority of these lines are reports and announcements from the NERV staff at the command center. In other cases, there was dialogue added to tighten up certain areas that had too little information in terms of the audio. Some of the additional recorded dialogue is material that was intentionally left off the 2.0 stereo recording, even though Director Anno originally planned for it when the show was being produced, because it was surmised that including those lines would be information overload, making everything harder to hear. This work required a tremendous amount of time and in fact took almost half a year to complete. For this renewal, rather than choosing to use specialized software to mechanically split the 2.0 stereo sound into 5.1 audio, the three elements that make up the sound: dialogue, music, and sound effects, were each remapped for every episode. ![]() The sound for the Evangelion TV series was produced in 2.0 stereo. The focus of the renewal plan for the audio was building 5.1 sound. "For this DVD release a great deal of effort went into effecting a drastic renewal of both the video and audio of the Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series. To quote the relevant section from the Platinum/Renewal DVD booklets: Still, the 5.1 remix is perfectly fine, and on its own I have few complaints in its overall quality, but only when compared to the 2.0 stereo original do I prefer the original mix. The comparison to Akira’s Hypersonic mix is interesting, as I prefer the Akira Hypersonic mix to the Eva 5.1 mix, even though Akita’s mix was far more revisionist, simply due to the Hypersonic having absolute reference level fidelity and very good mixing, with only the sound and music changes being frustrating. The Laserdisc was also 2.0, and this was not a technological limitation, as AC3 5.1 had been on Laserdiscs since 1995 with Clear and Present Danger and True Lies being the first two titles. They were originally 2.0 Dolby Surround mixes theatrically, as evidenced by the Dolby Surround credit in the credits and no mention of 5.1 surround. (It’s the rare case where I outright prefer the remix to the original mix)Īs for the films (D&R and EoE), they’re also remixes. Many King Records owned titles gained 5.1 remixes in the 2000s, and Eva’s is perfectly fine, but I think the best of the lot was Revolutionary Girl Utena, which, while revisionist, was the strongest in actual mixing and had less drastic changes than Eva. The 5.1 remix was first produced for the 2003 Japanese renewal DVDs. The 5.1 remix is heavily revisionist and I’m not a huge fan as a result, even if it is rather good from a technological standpoint. It honestly reminded me of Akira’s innovative 5.1 (Hypersonic?) mix but I was more surprised here given this is a series and not a movie. A few of the effects are a tiny bit ‘crackly’ (I’m assuming due to the age of the effects) but I still would not hesitate to give what I’ve heard of the first two episodes demo-worthy scores.ĭoes anyone know the history of the 5.1 mix of the 26 episodes? I’m assuming the 2.0 mix is the original. I was very impressed by the dynamic range, directionality, and especially the placement of objects around the sound field. I had never seen it any of it before (original nor the new movies) as I’m very selective of the anime I watch, but that was certainly an explosive way to begin the series.Īnd the 5.1 audio is phenomenal. I watched the first two episodes and I’m quite impressed by the series so far. Ummy Video Downloader is an app that, despite offering the possibility to search YouTube content from its search tool and access other social networks, doesn't offer particularly interesting features or fulfill its promise to let you download videos.I ordered the Japanese box set and and got the English subs online (yes, I know the new English-friendly box set (which I have on pre-order) is coming out soon but bad decisions and all that). It's also got a section dedicated to displaying downloaded files but lamentably it stays empty since, as we noted above, no downloads ever happen. Far from doing that, though, the arrow disappears straightaway, making it impossible to download anything from the app. At the bottom of the app you'll see a download arrow that should activate when it detects audiovisual content. Ummy Video Downloader has several shortcuts to apps like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter and a built-in search tool from which you can access the popular media site YouTube. ![]() Ummy Video Downloader is an app that promises to help you download media to your smartphone but that unfortunately doesn't work as expected.
