I'm not going to start saying which is better between the original TV series and Rebuild, because honestly they can be enjoyed for completely different reasons, though i do agree that if you want to get the best out of Rebuild, it's good to have previous knowledge from the TV series.
That said, the Rebuild films can be enjoyed without, though it's just my personal reference.

There is also the fact that it's just awesome. One of the best series of all time, a ground breaker and mark setter for all anime in the past 15 years or so. So, do your best to watch the first series.

Well I think ive mentioned it already, but one of the better things of Rebuild is the stronger "punch" it has in some of the added scenes.
I mean the scene where Misato grabs onto Shinji's hand as a sign of support and Shinji in return squeezing it back...is what can i say...simply beautiful. First time watchers will see that as subtle, inconsequential moment but for original series veterans its like an oasis in a barren desert. You need to see the series first before truly appreciating how awesome that little moment was. I hope to see more...! |

Personally i'm glad Rebuild didn't focus on the same formula as the TV series. A bit boring seeing something that's already been done 15 years ago in film format. Instead we got a whole new experience.

Agreed. And the things that depress you are a little different too. I found there to be more "cheer" in the beginning too. I'm afraid things will inevitability go down hill, but for now they are good...which will make the down hill ride all the more painful.

I have noway to actually confirm these rumors, but on MAL and /M, among other places, there have been rumors that during the production steps that they considered removing Asuka entirely from Rebuild, which lMO would explain why the narrative of this film is completely garbled.
Also Sadamoto said that they had no idea what they were going to do with Mari, as also evidenced by artwork featuring her in Eva plug suit 4 and 5 at some point. Sigh.. Anyhow, a very funny comment about this movie that I would just like to share with you all... "So, I feel that Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance is the Eva equivelant of Windows Vista. It promises improvements, showcases some interesting visuals and impresses at its surface, sadly it utterly fails at everything else it tries to achieve and will probably be remembered only for its shock and awe value. "

http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/0...vangelion-2-0/ They were really ready to kill off Asuka as it seems and only Asuka fandom made them do the last second cut in and remove the scenes, stelling with just one-eye loss for Asuka. It doesnt seem like they want Asuka or have any idea what they want to do with her thats why wanted to kill her off in a gory way as she could at least serve as a shock. But again Shikinami is not Sohryu, Shikinami lacks the character depth that Sohryu had so the connection between her and other characters are weak just as well her connections to the viewers so I wouldn't care if this second-hand character would have died, because obviously they do not have enough time to develop both now split Sohryu's sides so they had to either remove typical tsundere Shikinami or Mari but removing Mari would feel even more retarded as her character has no development and farnkly no place in NGE so far, so the best excuse was to remove Asuka, but the fandom went against it... So now they still try to fit them both... But frankly they should have just made it one character instead of two, either keep just Mari or just Asuka now neither of them have enbough focus and feel forced into the story without many strings attaching them to other characters and the plot and no character development either... |

Asuka fandom saving Asuka? Says who? I saw the movie a week after it opened, and the Asuka retrieval scene and the eyepatch bit in the preview were both there. How could the "Asuka fandom" have saved her before anyone had seen the movie? Besides, the scene presented in the storyboards is a bit more graphic than it ended up being, but it's still there in the movie: Spoiler for Asuka torture:
This "revelation" changes nothing, except that they trimmed a second or two out of the movie. |

There was a turmoil about it within GAINAX and Asuka's fanbase (as it seems within the company as you know Sadamoto is Rei fanboy while there are others 'fan' of other females too) eventually turned it away due to the reason of Asuka fans potentially overreacting. If you cannot see the difference in simple light exploding in the face and the whole face being peeled off leaving just a bloody mess of a face remaining after then I have nothing to talk with you. |

For a franchise that is known to be pretty heavy on abstract, mind trippy sequences, people are taking this whole guro deal in an awfully literal manner. Symbolism much, people? Also, that "Asuka fans throwing a fit" rumor was only mentioned on Sankaku Complex, and that's basically the tabloid/pornmag of anime news services. Furthermore, talking about that face peeling scene without the dialog contained therein is completely wrong, so let me just post what's being said in the second part of this version (link to part 1, link to part 2) of said scene, since a fine fellow on EvaGeeks actually provided translations: Quote:
