Netflix cuts "Fly Me to the Moon" from Neon Genesis Evangelion due to licensing fees

TheWrap

The 1990s cult classic anime series joined the Netflix today, and fans quickly noticed that the show's iconic "Fly Me to the Moon" outro was missing. The song was also absent from other parts of episodes where it served as background music. Yet Netflix Japan's version still has the original song. As The Wrap explains, Netflix was unable to secure the license fees for "Fly Me to the Moon" for the English-dubbed version.
