Rebuild Rei's less hesitant and deliberate. Where before if she couldn't express something she'd ruminate in uncomfortable silence until it was a monologue or avoid things she'd decided weren't for her, now she's describing feelings with baby talk and she immediately jumps on her first idea and starts cooking like she just wasn't aware before. She's a slightly different kind of autistic and therefore bad.

Rei fans are attached to something static, predictable, and perceivedly reliable. It is the proxy by which emotional suppression, detachment, and relatively aimlessness and placelessness, is given comfort.

Any change would be negative. Rei cannot change except to end up where she started.

We have the Rei we know at the start, call her Rei I.

Then Rei I explodes into skittles and we get Rei II as replacement.

Then when Shinji's mum NTRs her son by absorbing her own replica we get Rei III as replacement.

I don't think we ever saw loli yanderu Rei, so that would make three in total.

If you really need more, go for it, but you will probably be disappointed on some level or another.

It was originally intended to be a replacement for NGE that removes some of the more obtuse elements of the story (maybe) but it's turned into something else. It's also not finished yet and we are waiting on a fourth movie that will hopefully come out within the lifetimes of most of the anons here, so if you hate incomplete stories there's another thing to consider.

>>134534858
The first film is basically just the first 6 episodes with new animation. Oftentimes the shot structure is nearly identical too. The second film diverges from NGE's plot significantly and the third is completely different. It's not a huge investment of time or anything, so don't be daunted on that regard.

Retelling of the story.

It diverges heavily after the first film.

EVA 3.0/3.33 was controversial for this and a few other reasons. Still worth a watch though if you like the series.

Supposedly EVA 4.0 would come out this December, but given the lack of advertising it's probably delayed.

Okay, I think I see what you guys mean. I'm not sure how I feel about watching a different version of a series though, it seems kinda weird. Like the Star Wars remaster but bigger.

An anon above posted a chart that theorized that the movies are secretly a continuation of the series, rather than a retelling? If this ends up being true I guess it is alright.

>>134534910
True.

I don't know, I might watch it.
>>
>>134535120
Basically, we will know once the final, 4th movie is out, whether it's a retelling or a sequel.
>>
>>134535120
I would probably just go for it if you're on the fence. There's not a whole lot to lose, except for maybe your respect for Hideaki Anno.

>>134535190
I would say that it's pretty clearly not a retelling at this point. Either a new interpretation of the story or a sequel.
>>
>>134535190
Knowing Anno, and his previous work, I'm going to bet that it won't answer it at all.

>>134535220

>Old Asuka
Good:
A somewhat interesting and fun-to-watch bitchy tsundere-ish character with her tsundere behavior, for once, isn't entirely based on a relationship with a love interest.
Bad:
Gets kinda irrelevant near the end of the original by herself, only remaining as a thought point for Shinji.

>New Asuka
Good:
The looks of Pirate Asuka. I still prefer original's darker hair, though.
Bad:
Became a pretty much generic Shinji-centered tsundere, seemingly losing original's motivation entirely.

>Old Rei
Good:
Should I even say anything? That's the Rei we all know.
Bad:
Too dependent and can't follow up her thoughts entirely by herself.

>New Rei
Good:
I like how Kuronami looks in black suit more. 'Cmon, you can crucify me for that.
Bad:
Well, we take Rei and turn her... into someone who isn't Rei anymore, but more of a generic person, closer to characters born from trying to fit original Rei into a "normal" setting. Then we see that it's not right and make Kuronami who's hardly anyone at all, but still try to treat her like she is THE Rei. Really, what's wrong?

>Rebuilds
Good:
The looks. Some segments are really damn amazing. And Mari.
Bad:
Pretty much the rest of it, including how they decided to handle Mari.

I'm more of a hat and angry mood fan.

They already made her basically replace Toji (with switching Asuka around in process) in 2.0 instead of having an actual storyline of her own. As one of the people who like her (or, rather, openly admits it) I am looking forward to her becoming more relevant in 4.0, though.

I won't deny the possibility.
And that way I'll get all delicious hater tears following the release of 4.0 for myself!

nobody cares about Original the Character

>>134537523
I've seen people's "not caring" being quite a loud process more than a few times, and not only on /a/.
You can just look at Asuka for a random example of it.

...and so Han Solo and Maya Ibuki settled down far away and promised each other to never talk about the past again.

Oh, Han, JJ will finish what Lucas started.

Nobody wants to see doddering old Grampa Han.

>not liking Big Bossuka

She had an eyepatch at the end of EoE too Anon. She was always destined to be Big Bossuka.

I like the artstyle of 2.0 the most can't I just watch that and only that

>>134540340
You can.
But quite a lot of people you see here deny their own choice in the favor of trying to be a part of community.

Shikanami is worst Asuka.

>>134534734


If everything is a repetition then what the fuck is going with 3.0?

What triggered the impact?

It's been a while but pretty sure in the original series 01 ate zeruel. Why didn't that trigger the impact?
