So the rebuilds serve what purpose exactly? Are they basically re-animated and have some different scenes?

I haven't seen them yet since I was waiting for all 4 to be out, but I assume they start out as simple remakes then become completely different from the original story considering there's new main cast members that weren't even in the original.

rebuilds are like a completely new version of the show; it maybe starts out with a similar premise but each one goes to very different places

point taken (though I personally haven't seen a Disney live-action/cg remake and have no plans to).

in evangelion's case I think the rebuilds are really interesting, and I don't think the series needed a faithful movie adaptation. in general, I'm not a fan of abridged anime movies of longer series (the gurren lagann films, for example). I think it's much more interesting to do something like the escaflowne movie that gives a new spin to the characters.

Oh I don't disagree about having no interest in such a thing. I would much rather see a new version of something too. There's clearly an audience for such things though.

And in response to a bigger budget and the creator being... more or less predisposed towards writing again.

The short version is that End of Evangelion is a slightly expanded version of the original idea for the last two episodes. Due to a ton of problems during production, they didn't have the time/money left to do much animation and had to end the TV series another way. But yeah, Eva being a huge hit and fans wanting a better ending was a huge factor in it getting made.

I mean that entire era of RPGs was definitely influenced by Eva just as much as anime itself was for a while, but while it's certainly not a complete 1 for 1 copy it was a more extreme example than the rest. That particular moment was just the cherry on top.

I also just watched through this for the first time a few weeks ago. I actually liked 25/26, especially 26 which is one of the few pieces of media that actually understands what living with depression feels like. But I think it definitely helped that I knew it wasn't all there was and that End of Eva was coming.

Right, I feel the same knowing this wasn't really "the end."

I did like elements of that last episode but the depression stuff always felt like a b-plot to me. Focusing on it exclusively for the last 2 episodes was just too much.
