Looks pretty good. I'm particularly interested in Palencia as Rei; it's yet another way of showing her range. I'm surprised Greg Ayres wasn't called back for Kaworu, though, but it's no big deal, and I'm sure Jewell will do well. He usually does (see Barry the Chopper).
Edit: Added Pen-Pen. Plus, Alison's back as Misato! Can't think of anyone better to play her!
