I was at the FUNi panel at AB when they announced the cast. I can confirm they did contact every one of the previous voice actors and tried to get them to reprise their roles. Only managed to get Shinji, Misato, and the director's cut Gendo.

Huh. Funny considered how much Shinji's VA is on the record as to how much he hated the part and Asuka's VA liked the part so much she reprised her role for free for a bunch of fan produced radio plays.

Reading the EVA manga, finding he actually enjoys it.

Ah yeah. It doesn't help that he's, in his own words, "typecast constantly as effeminate, pre-pubescent boys". I find it hard to hold against him disliking the role if he had to do End of Eva. I'd be looking at the paycheck and wondering if it was worth it after getting to voice Shinji for that. :lol
