 I don't watch Eva dubbed, but as with the Japanese cast for Rebuild, I 
don't think a change would be harmful.  There are equally as good new talent 
in both languages, & as Rebuild is a different, even grimmer, reality - a 
*complete* change of VAs might even boost sales.

I wonder why was 1.01 so successful in showings & sales.  It cannot have 
been just the voice acting & shiny new FX..... Old school Eva fans would not 
have been the major commercial factor methinks.
