[EVA] English dubbing for Rebuild 1.0

[AchtungAffen]

I have a friend who works with the mentally handicapped. Maybe we should ask
him how to best create a new renewed fandom success Rebuild dub tips...
after all the success of it all depends on how much you can "buddy" it down,
right? No wait... what am I saying? We have Greenfield, he's buddy enough to
do a great job for great new fandom justice. VERRY MESSIAH...

After all...
