I agree. I also thought because Shinji's hysteria was more intense, the
desperation and screams by his Japanese female VA, sounded more female,
as the pitch went up.
Interesting to compare with Kenshin's reactions somewhat.

IMO Keel was bad in both. Fuyutuski was good in the TV, shame he had a
different VA in the movies. Maya though needed to sound more like her
Japanese original. The TV dub Maya had a deep voice compared to the
younger frightened-girl Japanese Maya.

: numerous parts where the dialogue began too early, and thus ended too
: early, creating silent breaks that kind of hurt the flow of the movie.

Like the TV, AK's Misato is what makes it worth listening to. Amanda
Winn was good as Rei/Yui though.

Going by the look on "Asuka's" face, "I feel sick" seems more
appropriate. Her expression showed no revulsion, but her physical state
was a mess.
