hehe...I'm more able to understand what is being said if I see the
content words are being said.  The reason why it is probably faster
for me to understand the dubs is because its easier to watch and
listen than to read and try to watch.  In Eva, the dialog is more
important than much of the visuals in my opinion.  That's why I
started by watching the subs first.
