Did you not catch the explanation? Asuka mentioned the 'curse' of the Evas...
Piloting an Eva kept the pilots young-looking. They are still aged as the other characters, but still look like their 15 year younger selves. It seemed like an Angel had been contained in Asuka's eye. I didn't see it as clumsy at all... and despite how they continue to say this is NOT a continuation of the TV show... the more I still think it is... especially with many of the odd things Kowaru says... And hey, Kowaru had more air time this go round than the 1 or 2 episodes he had in the show! The last time I tried watching it, I was really tired and actually fell asleep during the movie! They develop Shinji's relationship with 3rd? Rei and Kowaru more than we've ever seen, and still complaining? Geesh, there' just no pleasing some people. Still love how they all meet up and the very end of the movie... akin to the old show. We're all stuck in Shinji's shoes as the audience still having to fill in the time gaps, but that is what made the original series so intriguing... waiting on that next VHS tape with a whole TWO episodes.... all we did back then was speculate...speculate...and wonder what the heck was going on and what was going to happen next! We have that same old 'new' feeling all over again... and what do we have now? People complaining...
I think 'most' of the gaps will be filled in for us and a nice climax completely different from the End of Evangelion. IF they even finish it... they better. But it may be 2 years on news on the 4th and 6 years before we see anything State side... hopefully we'll all still be alive by the 4th movie...
