Update: I watched the original 'Evangelion' dub for 15 years before a friend in Austin said I was missing the point.
He made me watch a subbed episode and the director's true intent with the dialogue hit me completely different. Anyone else have a show they totally misunderstood until they saw it in another language?

I watched the original "Cowboy Bebop" dub for like a decade. I always thought it was just a cool space show with great music. Then I saw the subbed version last year and the whole mood felt sadder and more lonely. The English voices made Spike seem way more laid-back, but the Japanese performance is full of quiet regret. It totally flipped the meaning of the ending for me. I can't go back to the dub now.
