How Did You Celebrate the 20th Anniversary of NGE?
I got the idea after reading this:
http://forum.evageeks.org/thread/17784/What-Are-you-expecting-From-the-20th-anniversary10-04-2015/
Anyway, my celebration was rather simplistic, but nice.
I bought a copy of Tony Takezaki's Neon Genesis Evangelion manga (which I was reading for the first time) and I read the whole thing in one sitting.
My reaction throughout that experience:
I particularly loved whole "fan service" thing (for some reason Ritsuko's coffee-based destruction of the Magi really stands out) when Rei shows up to school bandaged and bloodied as well as when she tries to re-enact the "toast scene" from the AU at the end of ep. 26 and fails miserably. XD
Needless to say, I enjoyed it very much and it was an amazingly crazed and utterly hilarious way to celebrate 20 years of what is (in my opinion) of the greatest works ever created for television.
Later that evening, I sat down and watched the first episode of the series. My intention with this is to watch each episode weekly (so every Sunday until some time in March), OA cuts only. Then, I'll watch D&R (I might skip this), the DC episodes, and finish it all off with EoE.

I actually didn't get the chance to do anything on the day itself as I was away all day and only got back to Edinburgh late on the evening.
That said I've been celebrating the 20th anniversary of the show pretty much all year. I've gotten myself back into writing Fan Fic for it, I finally cosplayed Shinji properly at a few conventions, me and my friend also did a big Shinji/Asuka photoshoot and I gave the series/EoE that much needed rewatch I had been wanting to do for so long.
I made a post on my Tumblr on the day of the anniversary though. I realised as well that this December marks ten years since I first watched the series.

I bought the new sets. I've also recently watched from ep 18 to the end of 26, which it's a while since I did. But I don't bother with specific dates.

In all honesty, I wasn't thinking about the anniversary on the day of. I did happen to be wearing an Evangelion shirt though, so I guess I suitably honored things.
Shin Evangelion brought me back, five long years later.

They called me the Quentin Tarantino of hentai.

I wore my "私 東京-3" t-shirt and watched Episode 1 in the 2.0 stereo mix for the first time ever. The difference in the music track intrigued me very much. I actually think that the music in Unit 01's introduction was more emotionally poignant than the 5.1 down mix. (Though, I should get an actual surround sound system before judging it finally.)
I drew gay furry porn of ShinjixKensukexToji
No, seriously. I'm not saying that to be funny or obnoxious, I'm an enormous flaming furry and that's what I did. I did this while wearing my "I <3 KNOTS" shirt

if you look under a male dog, the penis has this bulge slightly above the ballsack. That's the knot.

I Celebrated the 20th Anniversary of Eva with a five day long rewatch of both NGE and Rebuild.
I carry out things right to the end. No. Matter. What.

Wait, does showing the Evangelion 2.0 movie on Adult Swim either this year or last year count as something for the 20th anniversary?
Asuka, you're not going to have any children.
You don't care about Hikari anymore, Asuka?
I want somebody to kick Asuka's butt! She is stupid, vain, and cries like a spoiled brat! Is there a game where you can kick her butt?

Well, no, not really - because last year or earlier this year wasn't yet the 20th anniversary, and the anniversary this autumn is in any case that of the series (NGE), not of the theatrical edition (NTE).
