* HypeBacklash: ''RE-TAKE'' used to be held in extremely high regard, to the point where many readers considered it to be actually good enough to be an actual sequel to ''Neon Genesis Evangelion'' proper. While the doujin still holds this reputation today, as time went on from its release to now, more people have the opportunity to read it and some come out having less of a glowing opinion towards it. Plot and characterization oddities such as Rei becoming a {{Yandere}} (culminating in her [[spoiler:hanging herself upon being rejected by Shinji]]) and [[spoiler:Asuka's mind reverting to that of a child's, bringing in a bit of {{Squick}} factor when she has a child with Shinji]] have soiled the experiences of a few readers, leading them to wonder how it got so popular in the first place.

** In later issues of the uncensored doujin, the {{Fanservice}} scenes are increasingly shoehorned into single pages of the story in ways that make it clear that they were trying to fill a quota in what was becoming a character-driven story instead of PornWithPlot.

1 - Natter. It is obvious that detractors think that it is worse, so why pointing it out? 2 - Again, Natter. Before Shinji Ikari there were plenty shonen main characters that were weak-willed, reluctant anti-heroes. Anno was not trying to convey anything: he had several options to give his character a personality and he simply chose one of them.
