Well yes I was saying you were wrong ^^ Sorry for
the confusion. You were saying that "D&R was never
broadcast on Japanese TV", that "what was broadcast
on Japanese TV was "Revival of Evangelion". I was
just pointing out that D&R _was_ indeed screened
on Japanese TV independently of Revival (and thus
contained Rebirth).

The D&R screening on WoWoW contained Evangelion:
Death (True) while of course Revival contained
Evangelion: Death (True)².

The easiest way I have found of telling the difference
between Rebirth and Air it too look at the scene where
Asuka wakes up inside of Eva-02. In Air she reaches
out to Kyouko's outstretched hand, in Rebirth that
scene is missing. Anyway if Manga have just chucked
the first part of Air in there I will be very disappointed.
Do they really think we wont notice? We _are_ anime
fans after all.
