8/10
Better for long-time fans than newbies
23 November 2022
100 minutes of "Neo Genesis Evangelion" were rehashed here. It splices 24 episodes together until its dramatic end. Some segments from "The End of Evangelion" are included. Since the film is part of a 24-episode series, I don't want to spoil the story or the surprises. This is better for longtime fans than newbies; the first 24 episodes are vital for beginners, and this is best viewed later to refresh your memory. New scenes were added.

It was my second-favorite anime after "Astro Boy." This post-apocalyptic story is compelling. This summary is fragmented because it covers so much ground with rapid-fire cuts and temporal jumps. Subplots and nuances about humanity make this a compelling and thought-provoking read. I believed the show was for kids, but the idea was complex, as this recap shows. There is always plenty to learn, and concepts are delivered with regard to the reader's sensibilities. The fundamental topic is that people may overcome the hurdles preventing them from living fully. We also examine humanity's futility, arrogance, and ability to turn on one another. Animation and art keep you interested throughout. Despite some puzzling moments, this series is intriguing. Positive, engaging characters make the film enjoyable. We care for these folks because we know and understand them. A charming, imaginative soundtrack is interwoven with classical tunes. Well-written dialogue is smart, realistic, and witty. The violence is unrestrained and graphic. I can see why some claim it's strained and hard to understand, but you need to see the whole series first. Because it's well-considered.
