Line 8:
** ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion]]''. Just... Rebuild. Takes everything the original did, dials up the [[Nightmare Fuel]], dilutes the angst and mixes in a ''shitload'' of badass. This time around, the fights are even more awesome, the mood and scenery are amazing and the way the characters interact with each other is brisk and entertaining. A theatrical budget the likes of which make everything before shrivel in inadequacy kinda helps too.
*** AMEN! This troper was originally disappointed at how boring the original series was, and distanced himself away from it as far away as he could. I was reluctant to watch ''Rebuild'' until then, even knowing that it was a recut. When I eventually gave in to the hype and saw it, I was stunned. They [[Padding|took out]] [[Mind Screw|most of]] [[Leave the Camera Running|what made the TV series monotonous]] and replaced it with mind-blowing action, [[Visual Effects of Awesome|visually amazing scenes]], and ''genuinely likable characters!'' ''Rebuild'' completely changed my attitude towards the series and made me a hardcore fan.
** The good thing about ''eva'' is not the way that it throws in all the imagery, or the psychological aspects, or the awesome giant robots running around roflstomping things, but rather the message at it's core. It's just a shame it took [[The End of the World Asas We Know It|Third Impact]] to teach shinji that it's ok to live life, even if you have no idea what you're doing. Realising that message pulled this troper out of a long term depression. He went from thinking he'd be polluting the gene pool if he reproduced to being engaged within 12 months. Ignore the pretentious stuff and all ''eva'' tells us is it's ok to live for the hell of it.
