As someone who has never seen any incarnation of Evangelion but constantly hears of its essentialn-ess, what version should I watch?
Space Runaway Ideon.
>>143815397
Original anime (With director's cut versions of some episodes) + End of Evangelion
>>143815435
looks shit
>>143815499
ugh, how am I to know which episodes warrant the director's cut?
Is Rebuild not worth exploring?
>>143815625
>Is Rebuild not worth exploring?
only after you watch the show and movies
>>143815625
>ugh, how am I to know which episodes warrant the director's cut?
Only 21-24 are changed in the director's cut
>>143815625
There are only a couple episodes with directors cuts.

Alright cool. I'm off to finally become a proper animu connoisseur! Wish me luck /a/.
All of them but if you only want to watch one, the original anime will be the best
>he fell for the Eva meme
>>143815690
original anime + EOE is pretty much the definitive experience
>>143815746
EoE is pretentious self-indulgent wank that has absolutely nothing going for it other than visual imagery. The TV series is enough. Rebuild movies are a fucking joke.
>>143815878
I would say EoE is more like a brief recap to the original ending with lots of nice visual treats. Its not as indepth as TV ending, but still worth a watch to cap everything off.
Rebuilds are...what they are.
>>143815950
It's also maybe better than Congratulations
>>143816047
Nah, at least "Congratulations" was clear, to the point and served a purpose, unlike the choke which not even the hack writers understood the point of.
>>143815397
TV series and EoE. That's all you need.
Fuck the remakes.
when i experienced eva, i read the manga up to EoE and watched EoE, then watched 2 rebuilds, then watched the original and the third rebuild, then the manga ended.
i really liked the manga
>>143816082
Shinji._.Had a hard life.
>>143816130
really cool
Don't watch any of it because it's fucking trash.
It's a meme here and that's all it is. Just like boku no pico or Install Gentoo on /g/.
>>143816320
You're a meme, you shit eating mogoloid.
Tv series and EoE. When we say eva, this is what we mean. After that you can watch the rebuilds
>>143815397
If you can't figure out the order to watch it with the power of Internet without spoiling everything for yourself, you don't have basic analytical functionality required to understand Evangelion.
>>143816397
>ask if reboots can actually place what must be a dated albeit seminal series
>fuck off retard
ok friendo
>>143816541
replace*
>>143816541
> what must be a dated
FUCK OFF, NORMALFAG.
>>143815397
I would recommend suicide OP
>>143815397
Ignore everything and just read the doujins
It's the best way to experience NGE
>>143817317
You'd miss context essential to understanding Plug Suit Fetish, you'd never get everything out of it.
I recommend this channel after you're done watching Evangelion

>remakes
You mean sequels.
>>143817874
> modern idiots need video for everything
lol
>>143815397
Fucking kill yourself until you've watched everything Anno has ever made in release order and read every single word on Evageeks.
After that you can come back.
>>143816082
Fuck off.
>>143818049
I'm right. Deal with it.
>>143817987
>lol
Fuck off.
