When the first Evangelion feature, Death and Rebirth, proved no more satisfying than the last episodes of the original series, Hideaki Anno brought his watershed epic to its conclusion in this final installment.End of Evangelion begins where the series ended: with the Angels defeated, the sinister cabal SEELE attacks NERV headquarters to seize theEvas and realize their plan for humanity. Misato and Ritsuko fight from inside while Asuka decimates a new Eva series. But when Rei merges with Lilith, and Shinji seems to fuse with Unit 01, the final traces of a coherent storyline dissolve into a protracted collage of fantastic images, played against discussions involving Rei, Shinji, Asuka, and Kaoru. Anno's dazzling apocalyptic vision forms a weird but oddly logical finale that ultimately means whatever the viewer chooses to read into it. This unrated feature, suitable for ages 17 and older, contains considerable violence, profanity, grotesque imagery, and sexualsituations. --Charles Solomon

- A review of the DVD, not the film itself
I threw in this DVD tonight because I'm about to show it to a friend and I wanted to see how it would look on my new tv.Wow...a truly horrible release from Manga Entertainment.
If you own a widescreen TV and plan on watching this with subtitles good luck because when you zoom the image the subtitles are cut off due to this not being an anamorphic release.
If you plan on watching this dubbed be prepared for some pain even if you've been watching the dub of the TV show. ... Read More

- The greatest thing ever created
Where do I begin?
How do I begin?
It's extremely hard to describe how I feel about this film... And I know I won't be able to express my feelings about it. There is no way I can do it justice, so I will keep this brief. I will say that it is the deepest, most moving thing I have ever seen. (And maybe will ever see).
A review on Imdb said "EoE delves into the deepest, darkest human emotions" This is probably the shortest yet most fitting way to describe it. Hideaki Anno ... Read More
Rating: - The End of Evangelion
My personal favorite of all anime movies. It can leave you without the capacity to decide how to feel about it. I seen this monumental theatrical masterpiece after viewing most of the Evangelion television series, of coarse finishing the series later. The most prevalent detail I must relate about The End of Evangelion is that you will be ruthlessly shocked. I felt a void within me for three days after my journey through Hideaki Anno's matchless apocalyptic vision. There is nothing in visual entertainment ... Read More

- A final summation of a series suffering severe entropy
Spoilers follow.
I get this and "Death and Rebirth" meshed in my head, and I struggled with whether or not to include my review here in "Death and Rebirth" or this one or both.So I'll just settle for this one.
I don't place value judgments on Japanese culture and society, but I can say I don't like it.I find it sexist towards women particularly.
This series began with a simple, almost stupid concept involving giant mecha-Angels attacking New Japan and little ... Read More

- Beautiful... but overly complicated
I'm probably going to get flack from both sides for my relatively neutral rating of this attempt to rewrite the ending of the series "Neon Genesis Evangelion".How do I know it's an attempted re-write?Because there are episode numbers in here and they're clearly marked as the last two episodes from the full series boxed set (at least that's how I'm interpreting these numbers).Now for the most part I liked the series and the world the author tried to create, but like the final two episodes before, these ...
