>>3702046Rei in 2.0 was great though; she was basically manga Rei. Perhaps you would rather have the Rei from the originals, whose character development basically ended after episode 5 and who Anno said about:
>The truth is, I have no emotional attachment to Rei at all. >In the midst of making Eva, I suddenly realized that I had forgotten her. Her very existence. For example, in episode seven, I remembered and added one shot with Rei. I had no attachment to her at all. I think that was okay, because in episode eight, she didn't appear. Not even in a single shot.
