: Gee, that must explain why they had to make the "alternate" TV ending
on
: such short notice after being censored by TV Tokyo and the PTA groups.
: After all, it wouldn't make sense to do all that work on the
"originally
: intended" ending (ie: early version of EoE including storyboards and
some
: drawing work) if they didn't plan for the series to end that way...

The Eva movies were a cash cow after the TV series ended. Anno had
finished with Eva. Fan clamour made him and Gainax realise there was
more money to be made from it though.

BUt as I explained in my original post, the movies slot into the tale of
the last 2 TV episodes.

: As a side note, Boogiepop Phantom was also affected by the TV Tokyo
and PTA
: censors, although nowhere near the extent that Eva was.
