Shinji was more apathetic than in the original, yes, but his anger was every bit as understandable as the detached loner in the anime, and Kaworu IS a sadistic bastard in the anime depending on your interpretation of the character.Besides, how many more depths of Kaji, Ritsuko, and Toji did we see in the manga?I don't see why we're having this argument, all I did was tell a Rei fan that he'd like her development in the manga.

The problem with that is the anime is considered canon BY GAINAX.Furthermore, yes they WERE cheapened, Shinji past was altered into an even more dramatified craphole, and he himself was turned into a shounen stereotype even more apathetic than the original, Asuka's past was also screwed with completely wrecking her motivations, and removing dimensions of her character, and most of all, Kawrou went from a caring christ like figure to a sadistic BASTARD, how the hell do you write THAT one off?

The characters weren't "cheapened" in the manga. It's true that some of them have different personalities, but they're just as well-developed as they are in the anime, if not more.The anime is the work of Anno and his writers & directors, the manga is Sadamoto's personal interpretation of the story. It's not the "canon/non-canon" BS you usually get with anime/manga adaptations, it's like the difference between a film and the book it's based on. They're two versions of the same story.

Its changing the story, events are out of order, other events are compeltely new and did NOT happen in the original canon.There was NO Eva-05, or -06 in the original, there was no girl named Mari with glasses and pig tails, that conversation where Shinji squeezed Misato's hand and Msiato REVEALED Lilith AS LIlITH (whom she still thought was ADAM as late as episode 20) did not occur. The origin HAS CHANGED, you need to watch Rebuild more closely, you overlooked the contradictions.

Alaskaslim (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

Yes, it is, different events as we've SEEN, I've SEEN Rebuild 1.0, so I KNOW that's a fact.Different character, different Evas' different events, it's an alternate reality, that's what the majority of the evidence and what Anno himself has alluded to.

Alaskaslim (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

The anime was written before the manga it is as the creator intended, the manga is both another person's vision and an absolute perversion of the characters whom were cheapened over base character traits.Its not "the other creator", Sadamoto's role was to create the visual image of the characters, and to offer an idea or two, but Anno created them, their personalities the very essence of who they are, their blueprint, came from HIS mind not Sadamoto and for that he understands them the best.
