REVIEWED! NEON GENESIS EVANGELION (1995-1996), produced by Gainax, starring Spike Spencer, Allison Keith, Tiffany Grant, Amanda Winn Lee, and Sue Ulu.Ĭame for the cool robot fights, stuck around for the great characters and their dynamics. It would have made it fit in with the show that much more. This is a small thing, but I wish they opened this with A Cruel Angel’s Thesis. There’s something about the bleakness of Shinji basically destroying humanity that feels right with where his character was at the time. That aside, I think I do like this ending better. The final battle of the series doesn’t even involve the main character. It’s even more frustrating because, were he more active in the story, I’d consider this an unequivocal improvement over the show’s ending. In the show, this makes sense, because the last two episodes take place entirely inside the Human Instrumentality Project, but here, he’s literally being dragged around by the plot. I understand that, at this point, he’s just killed Kaworu, and has spiraled into a deep depression, but that makes him extremely inactive. The score is an improvement over the show’s as well.Īll of that said, I found it tough for this to function as a film because of where Shinji was at in his character arc. The action, namely Asuka’s battle with the rest of the Eva series, is the best that Evangelion has ever had. There are some truly beautiful visuals in this episode, thanks to the team having an actual animation budget. The End of Evangelion does a lot in the way of improving on the show’s ending. As a movie, it doesn’t really work, but as an alternative to the final two episodes of the show, it’s an improvement. REVIEWED! THE END OF EVANGELION (1997), directed by Hideaki Anno and Kayuza Tsurumaki, starring Spike Spencer, Allison Keith, Tiffany Grant, Amanda Winn Lee, and Sue Ulu.
