Talk:What Is Canon?

Rebuild of Evangelion

How does Rebuild reflect on the canonicity of the series? Shouldn't we at least have a mention of it...place in Tier 4, like the Manga?--UrsusArctos 23:05, 20 December 2007 (PST)

Arguably I think it might constitute a new "Tier 5", bumping "statements by distributors outside Japan" down to a new "Tier 6". It's made by the original creators, and may reflect some old ideas they always had but could never develop, but they also appear to have changed their minds in many respects. Lets not even get into the "maybe Rebuild is actually supposed to be set in the same continuity as the original series, in its far future when history is repeating itself" theory. --V 07:28, 21 December 2007 (PST)
