Line 6:
''It is a story of will; a story of moving forward, if only just a little.
''It is a story of fear, where someone who must face indefinite solitude fears reaching out to others, but still wants to try.
''We hope that you look forward to the four new retellings of this story."''
|'''[[Hideaki Anno]]''', reviewing ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' in the announcement for ''Rebuild of Evangelion''}}
In 1995, Hideaki Anno -- fresh out of rehabilitation caused by problems during the production of ''[[Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water]]'' -- started work on what was originally planned to be a mecha otaku's ultimate dream. Following his increasing [[Artist Disillusionment|disappointment]] in (and [[Fan Disillusionment|hatred]] for) the [[Otaku]] community, as well as [[Creator Breakdown|issues in his personal life]] and [[Gainax]]'s financial troubles, Anno transformed the show into the infamously brutal, often depressing deconstruction of the [[Super Robot Genre]] (and many common anime tropes) that is ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''.

{{quote|{{spoiler|Shinji: "I don't care what happens to me! I don't even care what happens to the world! But I'm bringing Rei back! I promise I'll save you, Rei! '''''Even if it's the last thing I do!!!'''''"}}}}
* [[Disney Death]]: {{spoiler|Asuka}}
* [[Dive Kick]]: The seventh Angel was destroyed through a sortie with Asuka using flight equipment and a magnetic crossbow. She then finished off the Angel with an Inazuma Kick that used the arrows to break through the AT Field straight to the core of the Angel, thus killing it.
* [[Down the Rabbit Hole]]: {{spoiler|As [[Badass]] and [[Tear Jerker|touching]] as the "Ayanami rescue" scene is, it should be noted that Shinji basically gives up on reality. If anything remains of the original series' philosophy, this is Bad with a capital B.}}
* [[Duct Tape for Everything]]: Misato's [[Chronically Crashed Car|poor]] car.
