In Gendo Ikari's office in NERV, the large symbol visible on the floor and ceiling are the Tree of Life of Qabbalistic tradition, which contains the Sephiroth, or ten spheres of life. Gendo has his desk positioned directly on top of/below the Sphere of Kether, which represents Infinite Light and Wisdom, Supreme Consciousness, and God. See more »
Goofs
It is impossible to tell where the Evas are housed and
launched from. Launch shafts can be seen in several episodes - mostly straight, but with several angled sections - which imply that it must be somewhere between the Earth's surface and the ceiling of the GeoFront. However, in episode 19, it is shown that Eva cages are at the HQ level (at the bottom of the GeoFront). Moreover, it takes only a minor amount of time for the characters to travel from HQ to the Eva cages (as in episodes 1 and 6). See more »

Alternate Versions
Episode 24:
After the scene where Asuka is running to her mom (with improved animation) there are new one, where Asuka learns about Kaji's death. Following, we got the scene of Asuka sitting in nasty bath water, where the animation is improved.
The animation quality of Shinji's first meeting with Kaworu on the beach is improved.
Extra dialogue is added in the scene where Kaworu meets Rei.
Adam imbedded in Gendo's hand.
Kaworu secretly meets SEELE.
SEELE's dialogue is altered as Kaworu makes his way to Lilith.
On the final scene of Evangelion ep. 24, the animation was improved: the scene is brighter and easier to see.
The scene where Kaworu and Shinji are in the shower: we got added animated fog as ambient:
The last scene of episode 24, when Shinji and Misato are talking, the reflexion of lights in the water was redone.
Evangelion blows your mind. First few episodes may seem like regular giant-robot-post-apocalyptic nonsense for kiddies but soon it begins to unmask itself. The background story is very complicated and not every detail of it is ever revealed. Characters are developed more than in many regular movies out there. Simply lovable.
The show can feel ultimately silly, weird, technologically naive, even insane. But it has a purpose - you shall experience every mood and emotion thinkable over the episodes. Pure originality seeps out of the series all the time. But it's all just the beginning. The real weirdness, packed with substance nonetheless, comes in the last three episodes. No matter how you will anticipate the story would end, it won't be anywhere near the real conclusion. I can't describe it without spoiling it. Evangelion just blows your mind.
