I find that article interesting because it just shows you that they honestly didn't know where to go with this Asuka since they changed her from NGE so drastically and obviously didn't want her to meet the same fate as the TV series.

Not a single person in this thread has managed to prove or provide any real evidence on the two Asuka's being the same. I either get a) Wait till the next movie (
), or b) So what! She's a better character now/I like her still!/ etc.
Anything beyond superficial Tsundere personality traits and a pilot's pride (Watered down to the maximum I must say), are gone. I've outlined it. It is clear that this is not the same Asuka.
