I do agree, teh story and character aspects get simplified and downplayed a lot in 1.11, and teh cut scenes range from trivial (Shinji accidentally listening in on a couple getting intimate in all-night movie theater while running away) to character critical, like Kensuke's....pretty much his only scene, ever, and Shinji choosing to keep piloting at teh train station. Even so, I tend to tie them, because Operation: Yashima is SO FRAKKING PRETTY in Rebuild, and we do get lots of other fluffy stuff to partially make up for teh cut material.
And yes, 2.22 is completely nuts. Last few minutes will be some of teh craziest of your life, seriously.
