It does diverge in some aspects to what I remember, like last I remember it was like having Rebuild's Shinji in the NGE storyline.Does the main manga series diverge from the TV series much or go more in depth with additional scenes?

I just acquired the fifth and final volume today, so I can start reading at any point now. It's written by Eva mecha designer Ikuto Yamashita, and the man has a vivid imagination, so is apparently batsh*t crazy at times. I'm looking forward to it.I hadn't heard of the Anima LN series. It looks interesting.
Do you think so? I would've thought that Neon Genesis Evangelion 2 for PlayStation 2 and PSP was more well known among fans, containing, as it does, the sought-after "Classified Information" files that add extra background story to the original series' setting.Neon Genesis Evangelion 64 (Video Game)
Released in Japan in 1999 for Nintendo 64, this is the most well-known video game adaptation of the franchise
While Girlfriend of Steel is known, I found that the Nintendo 64 game to be brought up a lot when it comes to Evangelion game talk and within the retro scene. I think the 64 version is more import-friendly than the others which may also help.Do you think so?

The weird thing about the Rebuild of Evangelion dub cast on Amazon Prime is that the voices are mostly the same as the old dub.So after rewatching the series and finally watching The End of Evangelion (I had to read a lot after to understand what was going on at times; like I didnt realise End replaced eps 25 and 26 of the series for example), I’m now onto the first film of the rebuild and i hate that Prime has the new dub cast not the original. i’m worried the other 3 are the same? if i buy them, will it have the original?

If something in the dubs is causing Mari to come across as obnoxious of all things, then there really is no hope for them. Mari is a bouncy and bright character in the original Japanese, but they somehow managed to distort her personality even in the original Funimation dub.When Mari first came in that's who I thought she'd be but she just comes off as a more obnoxious Asuka
I had absolutely no problems signing up for it whatsoever, so hopefully you'll be good to go, dude.Hoping the free prime video trial is hassle-free so I can at least start watching the final movie tomorrow.
Haha this party has only just started dude, everyone is just too speechless (most of us in a good way heh) after what we've witnessed. While I'm very happy with the main character resolutions, I suspect we'll be mulling over the hundreds of questions raised in relation to plot intricacies for a good while heh. I'll start with one:Almost ready to join this over-and-done-with party!!!
I actually thought of her as Asuka without all the emotional baggage & angst! I'm more with @Neil.T in that she came across as confident & vivacious. I just really wish she was developed a bit more, notwithstanding the fact that her whole purpose is supposedly to serve as an outsider from Eva to pull Shinji out or whatever, haven't got my head around that one yet. On another note, I saw the Anno documentary on the movie and I can certainly see the similarities with his wife in her short appearances. The first episode is just funny with how socially awkward Anno unsurprisingly is and how he spends most of his time on camera shoo-ing it away. The second is quite interesting with more focus on those around him, as he rightly instructs them to do, seeing as he has no intention of spilling any beans heheh.I remember seeing someone elsewhere (on the AUKN discord) recently describe Mari as "Asuka but with a devious side"
Wow, if that image is authentic, then that is extremely damning. Right from first hearing the Funimation dub for 3.33, I can't say I've been a fan of his translation work. There's the occasional flash of inspiration (example: Fuyutsuki's line in 3.0+1.0, "Ikari, how will you bring the drama to a close?"), but the rest seems questionable at best, outright tone-deaf at worst, and... honestly? I really don't think Kanemitsu should ever have been put in charge of translating Evangelion into English.it seems Tiffany Grant (Asuka's VA) claims that Dan Kanemitsu, who was responsible for the dub for 3.0's re-dub, the Netflix dub and Amazon dub, is the reason why the dub result for all of them are awkward
Is the Shikinami-series meant to have been Asuka clones all along from the very start of rebuild, as I seem to be reading online? My takeaway was that the clones were created from Asuka's remains after the destruction of Unit-04
It's interesting, I thought Tiffany came off one of the least affected in these ones, particularly of the old cast. I won't pretend that stating this right after the movies are out is particularly sensible, especially as a career move. There are problems with that dialogue, and if they recorded them to fit in dialogue that doesn't match the lip flaps because of the supervisor saying no, that doesn't seem great.... AoA have middle men (though, not writers, just representatives) involved in their productions, and they don't turn out like that at all.So this might interest some folks here who were critical of the Amazon dub, it seems Tiffany Grant (Asuka's VA) claims that Dan Kanemitsu, who was responsible for the dub for 3.0's re-dub, the Netflix dub and Amazon dub, is the reason why the dub result for all of them are awkward/inconsistent with the ADV & Funi 1.11/2.22 dub work.
My takeaway was that the clones were created from Asuka's remains after the destruction of Unit-04, as Ritsuko after seeing them was shown instructing the crew to keep them secret and confidential, hence the merged angel DNA/characteristics and associated fashionable eye-patch and also Asuka's physical age 14 years on from 3.33..
that completely unexplained "curse of the Evas".
I looked up RahXephon on MAL, and the director is a guy called Yutaka Izubuchi.
an Evangelion film directly referencing Evangelion's influence on the medium that it's part of.
