The follow-up to Hideaki Anno’s acclaimed animated series ‘Neon Genesis Evangelion,’ the film provides an alternative conclusion to the series; coming to cinemas March 17 and 20 - tickets are now on sale.
Tickets for the film, presented in its original Japanese language with English subtitles, are now on sale.
In 2022, GKIDS released the original 26-episode television series, as well as the films Evangelion: Death (True)2 and The End of Evangelion on Blu-ray and digital download-to-own for the first time in North America.
Also in 2022, GKIDS released the fourth and final installment of the new theatrical “rebuild” editions of the Evangelion franchise, Evangelion:3.0+1.11 Thrice Upon a Time, in theaters and on Blu-ray and digital download-to-own.
This final movie version and alternative ending to the TV series is a remake of the final two episodes of the series. In this version, SEELE plans an attack on NERV after failing to create a man-made Third Impact. After reaffirming both her own and her mother’s existence in a state of despair, Asuka returns and begins the counterattack.
However, new enemies descend from the heavens. Meanwhile, Shinji witnesses the horrifying wreckage of Asuka’s EVA-02 while piloting EVA-01. Mass production models surround EVA-01 and perform a solemn ceremony. What does it mean to complete a human heart?
GKIDS also handles North American distribution for Anno’s prior series, NADIA: The Secret of Blue Water.
