Found this while trying to dig up more about the Japanese Eva fansubs; a con report for Anime Expo '95 by one of the fansubbers. An interesting perspective that I haven't seen much in 90s con reports. (^_^) A few days before the departure, I happened to find an article in rec.arts.anime saying that ...
