So here in Poland there used to be this TV block Called Hyper (later Hyper+) that aired anime. It was one of very few official ways to watch anime back in the day. They aired some anime with polish subtitles but had some other with a polish voice-over (Lektor).
If you don't know what a voice-over is, here's an explanation: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice-over_translation
It may seem weird but it's very popular here in Poland, we call it a "Lektor", so for a very long time I thought that this is pretty standard but apparently we are one of few countries that do this.
Anyway, at one point they aired Neon Genesis Evangelion with a voice-over, it's pretty hard to find but after digging through some file sharing websites I managed to recover the whole series... Except for the 24th episode. Simply put, that fact has been driving me insane. My theory is that all the recordings I had been finding originate from the same batch recorded by some person and that batch never contained that one episode, that's the impression I get by looking at file names and the videos themselves.
Btw, this TV block might've had more stuff that is lost, but it's hard figuring out what had subtitles and what had a voice-over. It know it had a voice-over for Great Teacher Onizuka and I managed to gather all the episodes for that, I want to upload all that stuff to archive.org at some point

My upload of the first episode, so you can know what it should look and sound like: vwaw544.cda.pl/TLAofKJ5RC11gR3NLpVEhQ/1703686451/lqe7cddccfd0b9642e2006234120fa2fa7.mp4
And no, the version on our Netflix doesn't have the voice-over, answering that because I had some people asking the stupid question.
