Remember the Anno quote about NGE being a mystery?

......In an odd way, despite my professional experience with the series that came later, or the evidence of my long, convoluted postings to this board, EVA for me is still a very uncomplicated thing in of itself. I feel its complexities more as effects than as a cause. See, that did make less sense than the series itself ;-)

ARRRGH!!! A whole new generation of Eva fans is being contaminated by this drivel!!!

I agree with this to some extent. I think that the emotions Anno is trying to evoke in various scenes, and the message he is trying to convey, each of us has intrinsic value as an individual, are a lot more obvious than some people seem to think.
But are you saying that we should only savor the feeling of watching EVA, and not try to understand the vehicle with wich the message is being transmitted? It wasn't clear until the Director's Cuts what a major factor Shinji's perceived rejection of Asuka in Ep. 15 was in her depression. This, together with the "Asuka learns about Kaji" scene from 24', was a deliberate addition designed to pave the way for her rejection of Shinji in the "Pre-3I instrumentality" sequence in 26'. This rejection was the major immediate factor that caused Shinji to say "Let everybody die."
I can't agree with you. These were way more than just interesting enhancements.
