She is, of course, the polar opposite of Rei with Shinji sitting somewhere in the middle. That pretty much wraps up my feelings for her in a nutshell. My favorite description of Asuka to date appeared in the Dec.1997 issue of Animerica magazine (referring to my portrayal of the character): '.shrill and unpleasant enough to make the character properly unlikeable but not so over the top as to make her completely unsympathetic.' - Mark Simmons. Okay, she IS also beautiful AND intelligent (a COLLEGE degree by age 14!), but those are not the only reasons to admire this Evangelion firecracker. She took pride (some might say TOO much pride) in her accomplishments and steadfastly refused to take no for an answer. No, I mean it! I really do! With the odds stacked insurmountably against her, she triumphed (for a time anyway) over her own fears and inadequacies and against humanity's worst enemies - the angels. And now I will admit a terrible secret - I LIKE Asuka. How'd you expect her to be 'normal'? As if there is such a thing a 'normal' in this series. A mother who left her, a father and stepmother who didn't care. The only Eva pilot who actually likes her job, Asuka is a breed apart. She's kinda like my kid sister, which is why I feel the need to stick up for her, so here goes. In the 13 or 14 months it took me to voice all of Asuka's episodes, I really feel like I got to know her intimately - she became a part of me. Now I realize that this being a site about Asuka's VA, I am probably 'preaching to the choir' as they say, but I feel it's worth being said. Some of you are probably wondering: 'what gives?' The American VA for Asuka is writing about herself? Not at all - this is about HER. But wait! There IS more.Asuka is also very misunderstood. Okay, I know - I hear it all the time - she's annoying. She later talked about some further reflections here. Note that this was prior to End of Eva or the Director's Cuts of Episodes 21-24 being officially released in English, and as such Grant had no view of Asuka outside of the TV series. Interesting little tidbit by Tiffany Grant, the iconic ADV English dub voice actress of Asuka in Eva.
