Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance
A continuation/sequel/reincarnation of End of Evangelion — or Basquash? You decide.
On a more serious note, here is evidence that Rebuild could be a future reincarnation of the world of Evangelion.

These screencaps should refresh some memories. Kaworu (the pilot of Mark-06 that stabbed Eva-01 with the Lance of Longinus at the end of 2.22) seems to believe that the current incarnation of Shinji isn’t the first. He states these beliefs once in 1.0, and once in 2.0. I think it’s pretty safe to say that this is not the first incarnation of the world of Eva.
There is also blood on the moon that would coincide well with Rei’s bloodstain from End of Evangelion.
Kaworu’s dialog “This time I will, at least, make you happy” reinforces the idea that Rebuild is connected to End of Evangelion. EoE ended with Shinji and Asuka alone in a world post Third-Impact — void of humanity due to instrumentality; the collective human existence. Not exactly a happy ending for Shinji.
Lots of theory is bouncing around about the true meaning of Rebuild. Rebuild 3.0 should be out sometime in 2011.
