Well, I'm extremely biased when it comes to this question. The reason? When I originally viewed NGE for the first time, I viewed it in English, so I developed affections for the characters in accordance with the way the American seiyuu portrayed them. I haven't been able to reprogram the Japanese voices for this series into my mind, and I think it's best because I really love the English dub. In the case of Asuka, it was Tiffany Grant.
A couple years ago at AFO4 (Anime Festival Orlando 4) I ran into Steve Bennet of Studio Ironcat (which was at the time going through really tough times) and I basically networked a bit and somehow managed to get myself invited out to dinner with Steve, some folks from ADV, and a bunch of voice actors--one of them being Tiffany Grant (who sounds very similar to Asuka when she talks in real life).
Now when you're trying to eat your sushi next to the voice actress who gave life to a character you admired, you normally do one of two things: 1) go hentai, rip off your human disguise, and tentacle ravage the living batcrap out of them, or 2) make nice, quiet, bashful conversation while you're inwardly thinking
OMG OMG OMG I can't believe this is happening to me! Sure enough, I was a type 2. Ahem. I really was a type 2. I WAS, DAMN IT!
Anyway, all of this leads me back to the fact that I'm an Asuka fan, through and through. I love the fiery personality, her emotional baggage, her competative nature, her wit and intellect, and especially her vulnerabilities. I guess a couple of years ago I would have echoed what most of the people in this thread said about her hot, young, nubile, milky, Eurasian body--but I wont. I mean she's 15 for Christ's sake. And a cartoon!......

Okay but yeah that was my 2 cents.
