She definately had control of the sub script as well.
I emailed Keith Burgess immediatly upon seeing the D&R
DVD and voiced concern over the fact that the sub
script was still wrong in several places, but
specifically the Lilith/Adam scene with Misato's
lines. His only defense was that "Amanda did the best
she could.." Ugh. It seems Amanda Winn-Lee had
creative control over both the dub and the sub.
Insane.

The sub is better, but it's not as faithful a
translation as I'd like to see in a sub. And indeed
there are parts that appear to be dubtitled.
