I missed this thread the first time around (since, at the time, I wasn't really reading the forum at all anyway), but the timing in which I did see it is... interesting.

See, my wife has been following the series in a meta way -- we haven't sat down to watch any Rebuild yet, and probably won't until it's completed later this year -- but she's watched clips, read summaries, and so on. She pointed out to me some story and character decisions that differ from the original in a particular way, and a couple of peculiar art and design things, along with some altogether new events at the end of 3.0, which can be read to imply that Rebuild is not, in fact, a remake of the original series.

It's a sequel. About Shinji trying to use instrumentality to redo the events over and over again to try to get things right -- that is, the original Shinji, who is not present in the series as Shinji, but as Gendou. Some specifics: Gendou's face is slightly different, more round, and his eyes are different, too, from the design in the original series. If it were any other production company? I wouldn't ascribe much to it. But between Anno's obsession with detail -- up there with Kubrick -- and another change (instead of Gendou changing his surname to Ikari, it's now his family name, and Yui changed her name instead... from Ayanami), not to mention all the things that have been added to what the Evas are and what an Impact (in the Second/Third/etc. sense)... I'm inclined to agree.

Giving NXE this treatment? Would be weird. To say the least.
