The Verdict Director's Cut
This matchup has 11 votes. The picture may shift as more people weigh in.
Anno's 1997 apocalypse — live-action inserts, animation dissolving, Shinji's hand on Asuka's throat — is the director at his most psychologically naked. 2.0 is the Rebuild at its most accessible: Mari, the action climax, momentary hope. The gap says naked psychology outperforms accessible spectacle.
