Neon Genesis Evangelion, I r needing help D:

The Gundam movies generally have purpose. The first trilogy especially did a good job on updating the series, lossing the sillier elements, and generally being a better telling of the story.

Rebuild just feels... pointless. People already love the original TV Series, most fans love End Of Eva, why go through all this again?

That's why.

Also, all of the animation has been redone, with design changes that make the series more awesome/dreadful.
 
@Alucard: Rebuild is also changing the story for a better story. It's pretty much confirmed there's only going to be 13 Angels or so, taking out filler battles like Spider and Jet-Alone. Not to mention the first movie itself changes so many things.

There's also the fact that no Gundam movie has ever 100% re-drawn the whole thing. Zeta Movie III was the closest, but otherwise it's just an extra scene here or there for retconning purposes, most notably:

Spoiler for SEED and Zeta

Kamille isn't brain-fried in the ending and the infamous removal of Mu's helmet, thus allowing a slightly less BS reason why he's still alive in Destiny
 
OK, but sometimes the sites make errors and they fix them. That's what the site editors are for. They can't always be discredited just because they are that site.

IMDB is still an industry standard and many in the industry use it.

ANN is always listed as this #1 anime resource, so it should count for something.

So if they are still labeling Anno as all these staff positions long after the movie's release, are you still saying it's fake?
 
Most people do.(myself included) But Anno apprantly didn`t intend that. maybe if Asuka had been a nicer person, people would have been more ciritcal of Rei.

Also, the fact that she was designed to be super cute, and end up becoming an archetype for the industry standard of the "quiet girl" didn`t help at all.

It honestly wasn`t done well if that wasn`t his true intention. It's hard to do anythign but pity Rei and want her to be happy.
 
Yeah, maybe if Asuka were like her alternate universe counterpart, then things would've been different

(you know that one part in the last episode where she's Shinji's longtime buddy)

Honestly if he wanted to make Ayanami scary, he should have had her go super crazy like Asuka did, But yeah, I do like Ayanami not only that I happen to be a huge fan of Megumi Hayashibara (Ayanami's Japanese VA)!!
 
I dunno. I find Rei to be a sympathetic character more than anything, if only because of what she was created for and ultimately rebels against her function.
