So if the cycles theory is true, does that mean that the manga is canon to the anime which is canon to the Rebuilds which is canon to the N64 game... etc etc, basically that every adaptation of Eva is a different point in the cycle?
I think that could make sense considering many Japanese peoples' Buddhist background, the Buddhist idea of samsara, and Eva's themes of suffering also tie into that, although it obviously deals with suffering in the exact opposite way of Buddhism.
So if the cycles theory is true...

Oh and because of this I think there's an intentional reason why every single adaptation of Eva is at least slightly different
Think about it, there has never been a perfect adaptation of the original anime, has there?

It's not

At first I didn't want it to be true, I wanted the story to end at EoE with Shinji and Asuka rebuilding the world, but the more I thought about it, the more it made sense

Fun fact: The N64 game uses the same soundfont as Mario 64 and I think that's hilarious

Anno already stated he would like Eva to become something like Gundam, with new writers and animators adding to the world and lore. He's trying to make a universe out of it, so he can profit without having to do anything. It wouldn't surprise me if he eventually ends up validating everything as part of the lore,

Skip to Komm susser Tod. It's like SilvaGunner was real life all along.

I know he said this, but I'm not sure he'd actually like the result. A new Eva series every other year like Gundam, pumping out new versions of the story all the time sounds somewhat nauseating.
On top of that, he said this years ago, so you'd think something would have come of it by now. Maybe he won't let anyone do anything till Rebuild 4 is out?
Also is there going to be more Rebuilds, or is 4 the last one?

Not just years ago, but during that brief spinoff boom around 2.0 when Eva had 4 concurrently running mangas, a web series, and console videogames being released, all promoting each other, that have all withered and died since from lack of interest. That dream already came and left.
