i think we could all use a little Rei, coversly, not to be a bastard but has anyone read the manga, and is it worth buying if I've already seen the anime?

Honestly, the manga is possibly superior to the anime (but then, Sadamoto's been working on it for over ten years). Very much worth buying if you've seen the anime. His take on Shinji is far superior to Anno's and he does great things with the other characters as well.

I've read the first eight volumes. Highly recommended. There is a drawing (in vol 3 if I recall) of Rei's first slight smile as Shinji helps her out of her damaged plug that will melt your heart...

Pandering to mainstream != superior.

From the Raising Ayanami Project. Not perhaps the best of quality, but I hope someone enjoys.

I think Anno and Sadamoto have very different ideas of who Shinji is. Enough so that I, personally, do not feel they are much the same character at all. Anno's Shinji feels more personal to the artist, completely introverted and shut off to the audience--as Anno himself may have felt. While Sadamoto's Shinji is superior as a vessel for the narrative, because his inner motivations and psyche are very open to the reader. I think , generally, this difference could be applied to all the characters in the manga. That said, Anno's more personal vision is somehow often more touching and disturbing for me despite it's introverted nature.

I find the manga superior to the anime, even if there are fewer angels.

But, as for the reason I find the manga superior, is because Shinji has more of a backbone. And he almost socks Gendou. Which is awesome.
