During the 2012 Q premiere, an exclusive interview pamphlet – which had the cast explain their character’s role in Rebuild and their personal thoughts on the Evangelion franchise – was made available to the Japanese audience. Three years later, and here they are –  translated in English for the very first time. There’s a lot of information to be gleaned in these, including: 

• Asuka’s seiyuu is certain Asuka Langley Shikinami will have a happy ending in Evangelion: 3.0+1.0.
• Mari’s seiyuu claims that it is possible to figure out where Mari “comes from” just by viewing Q.
  
• Misato Katsuragi is Sakura Suzuhara’s role model, according to information provided by Sakura’s seiyuu.
• Koji Takao’s seiyuu verifies that Kaji is indeed alive in the Q!verse.
• Hideaki Anno disclosed Rebuild’s “hidden nature” to Akira Ishida (Kaworu’s seiyuu) way back in 1.0.
• And more!

Very special thanks goes out to my friend Freshy (longtime JJBA translator) for tackling these. Enjoy.
