Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone currently beats Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo 59–41
The faithful retelling edges out the radical time-skip.
The Verdict Director's Cut
This matchup has 17 votes. The picture may shift as more people weigh in.
1.0's Ramiel redesign — the Angel rendered as a shifting geometric solid, each attack a different crystalline configuration, the self-defense sequence staged as an artillery duel between Shinji's Eva and an abstract mathematical entity — is Anno upgrading the original's most iconic battle with two decades of technical advancement. 3.0 has the piano duet between Shinji and Kaworu, which is the Rebuild series' most emotionally intimate scene. But technical spectacle outperforms emotional intimacy by a narrow margin here. The lead says the faithful upgrade generates stronger engagement than the radical reimagining. The story voters know, told better, beats the story they didn't expect.
