Sorry, I don't understand that.  Is that the scene
where Asuka and Shinji are arguing about Kaji?

I think that's going to be relevant.  A lot of us here
have been watching the movie subbed for 5 or 6 years
now and what we expect from the dub is certainly going
to be affected by that.

It'd be better to see what someone who's never seen
the movie before thinks of the dub.

I haven't seen the dub yet (waiting for box set and
perhaps the R4 version). However, I thought Allison
Keith got better as the TV series progressed as well. 
I think this was because where she really shined in
the TV series was in the dramatic scenes (eg the long
scene between her and Kaji) and the series got more
serious as it went along.  So I'd expect that she'd do
well in the the movies as well.

I find it kind of hard to hate Tiffany Grant since I'm
an Asuka fan  :P
But her German is immeasurably better than Miyamura
Yuko's.  Though for the movies, I think it'd be hard
to go past Miyamura's performance.  Her screaming was
chilling.
