AnimeVice Writes; "There has been a lot of talk recently about the new Rebuild of Evangelion movies actually being a sequel to the original Eva series. Now I know most of you are probably shaking your heads right now or throwing your keyboard, but I think I should take a stab at this since I doubt the Mythbusters will ever tackle this issue. Can the Rebuild of Evangelion really be a remake? Short answer, yes."...
But I really like it!
Of course, any theory that makes EoE a bit less depressing is a huge win in my book. Also: I've only seen 1.11, but I'm not sure the water is blood... I thought the reddish tint was just a trick of the light. Will definitely watch again with this theory in mind.
By the way, anyone happen to know when 2.22 is getting a stateside release? (Blu-Ray?)
