I would've shelled out for the Blu-ray of Escaflowne... but a new dub? No way.
I usually watch subbed but there are certain shows that got me in to anime that I saw dubbed first and thus I like to watch for the nostalgia factor. Mainly works by Ocean Studios and their VAs (Escaflowne, early DBZ, Gundam Wing, Inuyasha, etc).
I'm not gonna pay for a Funimation re-dub unless they bring back the original VAs. I went through heartbreak once when in Dragonball Z, Vegeta went from being Brian Drummond to Christopher Sabat. I can't bear to witness another beloved Brian Drummond voiced character (Allen) suddenly become someone on Funi's payroll. I'll stick with my old DVD version, thank you.
