Episode 21 reduced me to tears
Never has an anime struck me so hard. I couldn't help but cry with Misato.

Re: Episode 21 reduced me to tears
You have only just struck the tip of the iceberg that is the Descent Arc. If episode 21 was enough to make you cry, the next 5 episodes+EoE will reduce you to a shivering wreck, believe me.

I always thought I might be bad
Now I know that it's true
Because I think you're so good
And I'm nothing like you

I'm surprised someone would come to EvaGeeks having not even finished the series. Spoilers are expected to fly free around here. For example [REDACTED]

This forum must be like a minefield for you then. Not to mention Youtube and social media.

Death is a recap of the series, albeit with redone animation and some additions, although I think most if not all of the changes are also in the Director's Cut episodes (except for the potentially confusing framing device, of course). Strictly optional, in my opinion.
Rebirth is useless, consisting of no more than what is already contained in and expanded upon within End of Evangelion. Skip it entirely.
End of Evangelion is an alternative (and spectacular!) ending from episodes 25 and 26. Exactly how "alternative" is a subject of much debate. Some people say they are two different depictions of the same basic events, some people say they are completely different continuities that even have diametrically opposed endings, and there are all kinds of gradations in between. This is known as the "concurrency" debate. Anyway, it is generally recommended to watch EoE after episodes 25 and 26 (not necessarily right after) to get the full experience. It is the climax and denouement of the story that is the original Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Rebuild is a separate continuity altogether.

Even this has been a subject of much debate.
Among the people who use the Internet, many are obtuse. Because they are locked in their rooms, they hang on to that vision which is spreading across the world. But this does not go beyond mere ‘data’. Data without analysis [thinking], which makes you think that you know everything. This complacency is nothing but a trap. Moreover, the sense of values that counters this notion is paralyzed by it.

Watch it in whichever order you want, then make sense out of it in your own fashion. That's my best idea.
Shin Evangelion brought me back, five long years later.
Apophenia. Noun. The tendency to perceive a connection or meaningful pattern between unrelated or random things.
They called me the Quentin Tarantino of hentai.
The difference between a blow-up doll and a dakimakura.

Just finished EoE.
I really don't know what to make of it. I know someone said I'd probably be crying more, or become a shivering wreck... jeez, it's effing freaky
Given the one trailer and several pictures of 3.0 (mainly Asuka's eyepatch) I've seen, I'd say that EoE doesn't seem to happen in the rebuild.
EDIT: I noticed these:
Petit Eva Evangelion@School
Neon Genesis Evangelion Abridged Series
^WTF?
