Line 33:
** Rei's first English VA [[Amanda Winn-Lee]] was replaced with [[Brina Palencia]] for the ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion]]'' dub.
** The majority of the characters in the ''Evangelion'' dub have been recast at some point, but likely the most infamous case was that of Hyuga in ''Death & Rebirth'' and ''The End of Evangelion'', wherein he was replaced by a ''black man'' who sounded nothing like the previous voice whatsoever. What makes it even worse is that he [[Wild Mass Guessing|might]] have been cast out of ''spite'' by [[Manga Entertainment]], who pulled the license for ''The End of Evangelion'' out from [[ADV Films]], since Matt Greenfield, the former voice of Hyuga, was the co-founder.
** An eerie case for Kensuke in the English. [[Greg Ayres]] had a role in the original series as Kowaru Nagisa as well!
* [[The Other Marty]]/[[The Other Darrin]]: While the Japanese cast has remained remarkably consistent over the years, the English dub is notorious for being recast with every subsequent iteration of the series (four so far, for those keeping track). Most characters have had between two and four different voice actors, with poor Toji having at least ''six''. The only characters who have retained the same voice between every version so far are Shinji, Misato and Asuka. And that's before Netflix have announced that they gained the rights of the series and are re-dubbing the whole thing.
** It's even worse in the Spanish dub. Only Shinji retains a single voice actor through the franchise, while the rest of characters have at least two or three, and often ''very'' different sounding among them. Asuka and Kaworu, who have a different VA in almost every medium of the franchise, are the worst examples.
