Revival of Evangelion

1998160 min7.7 / 10

A dense, psychologically harrowing sci-fi epic that deconstructs mecha anime and its characters through surreal, existentially weighted imagery and explores themes of isolation, meaning, and human connection.

Revival of Evangelion is a re-edit of the Neon Genesis Evangelion films , released in 1998. It consists of Evangelion: Death (which was essentially a clip show that summarized the entire regular series) and The End of Evangelion , re-edited together to make a version that tells the entire story of Evangelion. It is considered to be the final form of the Evangelion films.
