I didn’t realize the Platinum Edition DVD release (video says 2003, I think it’s 2004) was at least partly redrawn. Asuka seems less childish in the rebuild.

Watch 3.33 everything goes downhill with the lore, but still amazing to watch because of the art. An even more mature Asuka btw.
I think I prefer childish Asuka, even if she would be difficult to take in real life. I wonder if Hideaki Anno is bringing the characters along with him as he ages.
