There is nothing to understand in Rebuild; it is the most straightfoward and simplistic story possible. Even the "loop" twist isn't anything novel or exciting. Making Evangelion about the story and not about human relationships was Anno's first mistake. Evangelion's story is just "another anime" in terms content. That wasn't the reason Evangelion was so beloved. He clearly lost his edge.

This is closer to the spirit of Evangelion than anything in Rebuild:
