There is also one cut that differs between the two versions, though, which is explained in more detail the Evageeks article above.There are so many different versions of the different bits of Eva by this point. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😅" title="Grinning face with sweat    :sweat_smile:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.0/png/unicode/64/1f605.png" data-shortname=":sweat_smile:" />For example, there are the differences between EoE and the Rebirth part of Death & Rebirth:[URL unfurl="true"]https://wiki.evageeks.org/Guides:Rebirth_vs._Episode_25%27[/URL](Interestingly, Manga's DVD of Death & Rebirth actually uses the animation from EoE but with Rebirth's title cards.)Then you've got the differences between the original "On Air" versions of episodes 21 to 24 versus their Director's Cuts:[URL unfurl="true"]https://wiki.evageeks.org/Guides:Episode_21_OA_vs._DC[/URL][URL unfurl="true"]https://wiki.evageeks.org/Guides:Episode_22_OA_vs._DC[/URL][URL unfurl="true"]https://wiki.evageeks.org/Guides:Episode_23_OA_vs._DC[/URL][URL unfurl="true"]https://wiki.evageeks.org/Guides:Episode_24_OA_vs._DC[/URL]The quirk here is that the "original" versions included on ADV's Platinum Edition and equivalent Japanese releases are apparently not the original episodes at all, and are actually based off of the Director's Cut versions with some adjustments that recall the originals, again as explained in the individual articles above. That basically creates kind of a third "interim" version of those episodes. Evangelion being complicated as usual. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😅" title="Grinning face with sweat    :sweat_smile:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.0/png/unicode/64/1f605.png" data-shortname=":sweat_smile:" /></blockquote>
