Evangelion 3.0 Opening 6 Minutes
So, yeah… pretty awesome. I’d let Pirate Asuka handle my Jolly Roger, if you know what I mean. (I MEANT MY PENIS.) (Wait, she’s how old again?) (So yeah, definitely would let her.)
Why was this not here earlier? I have to return and do this? For shame, other ORers. Forcing me to actually do something.

Some Thoughts On: Evangelion 2.22 English Dub Cast
Funimation has announced the English dub cast for Rebuild of Evangelion 2.22:
Spike Spencer (still) as Shinji Ikari
Brina Palencia (still) as Rei Ayanami
Allison Keith (still) as Misato Katsuragi
Tiffany Grant (reprises her role) as Asuka Lagely Shikinami
Trina Nishimura as Mari Makinami Illustrious
Colleen Clinkenbeard (still) as Ritsuko Agaki
J. Michael Tatum as Ryoji Kaiji
Great. Tiffany Grant is back as Asuka. Hoy boy, this is going to be rough.
While it’s true that Spike Spencer improved somewhat from his previous performance as an obscenely exaggerated, stereotypical cartoon coward Shinji Ikari for 1.0, it wasn’t such a huge change as to rival Megumi Ogata’s brilliance as Shinji. And Allison Keith seems to have improved as an actress, too, but she’s no Kotono Mitsuishi. Tiffany Grant’s Asuka may have been fine for its time, but when you look back today, it was so over-the-top and lacking in humanity, that Grant’s going to have to really do her best just to be tolerable in the role. The problem is, Tiffany Grant, from what I remember from her various roles, is incapable of subtlety, and while Asuka isn’t the most subtle character, she certainly does have moments where real acting chops help, and Tiffany Grant has very little of that.
