Why did he do EoE if he thought the the original episodes were fine?
Death threat letter from fans at the time.
Why did he do Rebuild if he thought the the original series was fine?
Because he wanted to.
Because he is the master.

because the rebuilds are actually a sequal
Why is he dilly-dallying so long on Eva 1.0+3.0? Christ I miss the days when we could just type Eva 4 and it passed.

Rumors has it that he made the TV ending to spite King Records. EoE was definitely the ending he had in mind from the very beginning.

I thought the TV ending happened just because they legitimately didn't have enough money to do a proper ending

They were using 60+ second long still frames and literal fucking crayon drawings by the end, I'm pretty sure it was a budget issue.

They did run with budget issues halfway through the show (along with other stuff) but that's just a legend. Just like the reason he made EoE was because of the death threats, while they actually existed they were never the reason for it.
