It has people speaking English in it. It also has stock trailer music that you’ll never hear in Evangelion. If that interests you, you can find it at the following location.

According to Funimation’s website, the release date has been set for November 10th, 2009. Details about English dub casting have not yet been released, but it has been suggested to me that part of the decision behind it being licensed by Funimation is that Anno/Khara wanted a new company to handle the property and provide a fresh voice cast, which makes sense. I imaging the process of tracking down actors from upwards of twelve years back could pose a special challenge. Those familiar with the dubbing for Manga’s release of the movies, as well as ADV’s release of the “director’s cuts” are well aware of the differences amongst the three phases of Evangelion’s dubbing, so whatever the case, it should prove interesting.

It was good indication at the time that Funimation had licensed, or was in the process of licensing Rebuild. However, it was not conclusive, as it is not uncommon for companies that are merely interested in a particular title to send cease and desists in order to protect their interests.

A month has passed, and someone ingenious has found the following images stored on Funimation’s server:

I think this is fairly good indication that Rebuild has been licensed. However I’m keeping in mind that it’s not official until it’s official. Licenses fall through at the last minute, it’s been known to happen. The question remains, when will the official word drop, and when will we get our grubby hands on a domestic copy? Considering how long it took for Manga to distribute Death and Rebirth and The End of Evangelion, and how long it took for the video versions of 21-24 to make it over, it really is anyone’s guess.
