What's up with Netflix's Neon Genesis Evangelion?

While browsing for things to watch on Netflix, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it has been carrying Neon Genesis Evangelion (NGE) for a while now. I've been watching anime on Netflix but mostly just works by Studio Ghibli that the app's recommendation algorithm probably didn't think I would enjoy a gory, psycho thriller. ABS-CBN aired a censored version back in the late 90s and it has been one of my favorite anime since. I would later get a copy of the complete English version and find out all the stuff ABS-CBN left out. I've seen this version through and through numerous times that as soon as I watched the Netflix version, I immediately noticed that a few things were off.
