most of the people showed up at least 30 min before Jin Roh ended and 
stayed put, I barely managed to snag a spot in the second to last row 
through chance, there were a lot of people standing around the door and 
even out in the hall

I know there's been at least one other con that had the EoE dub shown, 
but  I dont recal which one it was

indeed, Shinji's japanese VA knows how to cut loose with da screamin

the new VA for Huga seemed to be changed as well, all in all the other 
new ones were not bad choices, but they didnt seem very into the rolls 
acting wise-- I had to wonder if most of them even saw the TV series. as 
for the ADV cast they all seemed to nail their parts just as they had in 
the show-- meaning if you enjoy the english dub you'll enjoy most of EoE 
and likewise if you hated it the same goes.

theres a thought-- does ANYONE know of an official Gianix English 
script, or are we all running off conjecture from fanscripts? I mean, 
there are some people out there in the fanfic realm who have been 
raising bloody murder about offical cannon and so on, it would be an 
amusing thought if something they were so adament about turned out to be 
a glitch in a fan translation. ^_^

well he did say what everyone was thinking *chuckle*


as i said, the dub wasnt that bad-- in fact having all the background 
voices translated (which they DIDNT do in the fansub I have) made some 
of the mind @##$% sequences actualy make a lot more sense. all in all it 
was a good show and I aplaude Amanda Win Lee for the job she did of 
getting this done at last
