It's not long, but there's a short interview of Miyamaura done recently that confirms (or at least, repeats) some of the behind the scene tidbits we know about (like how Rebulid's "atmosphere [was] so light" or the story about the strangling in EOE, though Miyamura, or the translator, said it was in Death and Rebirth), so I figure I share.

The interview has it that she was strangled in Death and Rebirth and that it was apparently for verisimilitude. I'd heard that it happened in EoE and they were overcome with emotion - as in, Megumi Ogata strangled Miyamura out of sheer frustration.

From Wikipedia:

Megumi Ogata, who voiced Shinji, found the last scene of End of Evangelion difficult to perform. She became overwhelmed with emotion and strangled Yuko Miyamura

LOL! That's the most ridiculous production rumor I've ever heard. (And a good way to get arrested and fired from production.) Besides, if they were frustrated at anyone it would have been Anno.

Miyamura interview from a few years back Asuka's final line in the Evangelion movie was Miyamura's idea
