1) Why could only 14yo kids pilot EVAs? Probably related to the second impact somehow that happened shortly before they were born.
2) Why these children? Couldn't they have found someone less....mentally unstable?
3) What exactly happened at the Second Impact? They built EVAs after that, right? How did they capture Adam then? Just with the Lance? Where did they get that from?
4) What was the First Impact?
5) So, the end was basically the Third Impact, right? So, uh, did only Shinji and Asuka survive? Was that a "Death and Rebirth" kinda thing for humanity? Why did Shinji want to kill Asuka in the end? C'mon dude, she's been through a lot.
6) Where did the Angels come from in the first place? I mean, they all come from Lilith, as does humanity, but are the Angels basically aliens? Why were they hostile?
7) What was the deal with Kaworu? He didn't seem as hostile as the others.
8) SEELE was an organization that basically worked towards the third impact the whole time, right? Because they believed humanity was tainted with sin or somesuch?
9) What exactly were Gendo Ikari's motives? I thought he was working against SEELE, but he seemed pretty content with the end.
10) Why did Misato shoot Kaji?
11) It's 2015. Where are mah robots?
Blu-ray is coming out this August in Japan bundled with the series, no subtitles however, also around $300
Since this thread so conveniently popped up today (seriously the timing is almost scary)
I have a few questions for people who better understood what was going on than I did. They are about the whole series, not just the movie. Though I haven't watched Rebuild yet, so maybe my questions get answered there. I guess I spoiler tag them just in case.

That's all I can think of for now. Sorry for the massive question dump (probably outs me as a BAKA lol). Some or maybe even many things might have been explained in the series and I just missed them, wasn't the easiest to follow sometimes.
I'm probably going to jump on this, despite lack of subtitles, given that: Khara is picky about which studios do what with EVA (see 3.33 BD release), the Manga DVD transfer for EoE is literally the same as the Laserdisc and it's non-anamorphic and if it is brought to America I guarantee the series will be separated from the movies with little regard how nice the Japanese sets will (inevitably) look.
The reason it's taken so long to come out is because Khara has been securing the rights for everything from the quagmire that held them. If this has simplified the licensing situation and everything can be obtained from one place now (rather than gainax and the tv members of the committee for the tv show, and gainax and the different members of the movie committee for the films) it should actually be easier to get the rights and make one big set.
ohh, maybe i should wait then...

I absolutely loved it. I felt it was the capstone that pulled everything together and cemented my love for Evangelion. It delivered the catharsis for the series.
Thanks to the excitement in this thread, I've started watching the rebuild of eva movie series. I saw the first movie last night, it was pretty good. The animation was great. Watching movie 2 tonight.
