Basically ADV started using overlays on the series for the dub tapes. When they went and started doing their DVDs, they added even more overlays for things like signs and stuff, which people hated even more. Originally they had simply overlayed english text and covered up the original japanese text when that was all there was on the screen. Things like:
2015年
Got replaced with:
In the year 2015...
and stuff like that in the original dub tapes. But then when the first DVD came out they started overlaying even more stuff and it just got really bad.
Now as for the video quality problems on all the discs aside from the first one, they aren't that bad. The Region 2 discs still beat them in all but 1 category in terms of vid quality, but at least the R1's aren't that bad (except for the original version of the first disc, the non-remastered version).
I have never listened to the dub other than out of sheer morbid curiosity, but I will relay something one of my friends said about the dub...
Essentially the problem si that the Eva characters themselves are very dynamic. Asuka has many different "modes." She's got her annoying/cocky mode, her pissed off mode, her playful mode, her sad mode, etc. In the dub, she's stuck in annoying mode and the character loses all of its depth.
Should Evangelion be out on Cartoon Network?
