- "111 / RADIO WAVE CONTROL / 10BAR WATER RESIST."
What it is:
A near-shot-for-shot remake of episodes 1–6 of the original Neon Genesis Evangelion , but with CGI, cleaned-up character designs, and a noticeably glossier, more action-oriented tone.
- Updated animation: High-definition digital cleanup, CGI integration for mecha/particle effects, richer color palette, and fluid action choreography.
- Sound design & score: Shiro Sagisu’s score reworks familiar motifs; impactful use of silence and noise in battles.
- Pacing: Condensed compared to the TV series; focuses on first-contact and character beats with faster plot progression.
- Visual symbolism: Religious and psychoanalytic imagery remain prominent (crosses, Christian iconography, abstract sequences).
