Did Tiffany Grant retire? I ask as I haven't heard her in anything since Flip Flappers, and when I looked her up the only title she was credited for since was a reprisal for One Piece.

I just happen to be watching Flip Flappers right now, and seeing her name in the credits made me wonder the same thing.

Oh wow, this is definitely a find, and also a pretty fun watch/listen (even if it wasn't meant to be at the time of its production).

Maybe she ragequit after she was rejected for reprising Asuka in Eva's Netflix dub?

She seemes to have quit voice acting in anime following her divorce from Matt Greenfield in 2018. Doesn't necesarilly mean that's why she quit though.

Tiffany Grant lives in Atlanta now, where there is no anime being dubbed, so she likely only works on it when she's reprising older roles.

This is a more rare find than that blooper video of the MLP actors cursing.

Listening to the spot, I can see why it wasn't used. Would Gainax have even allowed this to be broadcast?

I mean, Gainax licensed the Evangelion characters out to game studios to make official porn games of, so they've okay'd worse Razz I know Japanese studios are pretty strict with Japanese seiyu doing unofficial things with the characters, but I don't think they care much about dub voice actors, otherwise a lot of them would be getting nailed for doing things like recording custom voice clips for people.

Now I can't stop imagining the male teenager in that PSA saying, "I'm so screwed up" in the same manner as Shinji.

I'm not sure why Gainax would even have a say on this.
No mention of Eva, Asuka or Shinji in the short so no.

This ranks up there with the Rei Sex tape... lol
