Product Description

Amazon.ca

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 the Evas 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 sexual situations. --Charles Solomon

2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but not a masterpiece Oct 6 2003
By JVosh
Format:DVD
End of Evangelion was an interesting end to the series but I have to admit it left me with a very hollow feeling. The series as a whole had the same impact/ effect. It started off very, very, strong, one of the best anime series I've seen in fact. But, about midway through it started to unravel and devolve into a whiny teenager that cries and moans for the entire rest of the series.

While most of the characters show personality and growth as people throughout the series, the main character (Shinji) continues his pervasive whining and crying up to the bitter end while showing no development other than to be very, very, annoying to the point where I don't care about his mental state or what he feels, I just want him to shut up, stop whining/crying (whatever he's doing during that particular episode/scene), or do *anything* but complain and mope.

The antithesis of the "plot" - and I use that word very loosely - is that Shinji not only can't recognize that the people in his life care for him, but he rejects them constantly while at the same time screaming that no one cares for him. Tragic? I suppose, but the fact that nothing about him - his personality, his thought process, etc... - changes from episode one to the final scene in this movie really is really telling. So in the end when he has to choose between saving the world and destroying it, he opts for the latter due to the fact that he can't cope with human emotions. What really dropped the enjoyment factor of this movie is that throughout the whole of it Shinji, save the final few scenes, was either crying, screaming, whining, or acting totally comatose while destruction was raining down around him and the rest of the characters (whom were all subsequently killed) were trying to do something or fighting through their issues and problems and growing/ evolving as people.

At the end there's some answers... more if you look at the imagery, remember back to some instances in the series, and think about the theology and the symbolism, but when it's all said and done, the movie did little more then to kill off all of the characters that actually did grow and evolve as people during the series and reveal Shinji as an emotionally stunted and perverted character that was left to determine the fate of the entire race.

5.0 out of 5 stars Art doesn't get much better than this. Sep 25 2002
By david
Format:DVD
First of all, be warned: Do NOT watch this movie if you are
a) Not familiar with the series. It will NOT make sense.
b) Expecting it to answer many specific questions concretely (i.e. "who killed such-and-such?").
c) Expecting an easily digestible conclusion.

End of Evangelion is what Evangelion longed to be, but couldn't due to budget, time, and tv-network constraints. It cannot be called an action-packed thrillride, nor a touching drama, nor even a linear story. It is Hideaki Anno (director/creator), pure and simple. Or rather, pure and complex. Surreal images coupled with religious symbolism set the background for the interaction of deep, multi-dimensional characters (perhaps the term "entities" is more suitable) that one feels just can't be made up. The subject matter? None other than Anno himself: very many confusing, sometimes contradicting, ideas and feelings meticulously juxtaposed and laid out for interpretation. There is never any guarantee that a particular work of art will appeal to a particular person, but chances are that if you identify on an emotional level with the series (especially Shinji), you'll get blown away by The End of Evangelion.
As for other aspects, i thoroughly enjoyed the soundtrack (9/10). I'm told the animation is good (to me it looks better than the series, not better than Cowboy Bebop). The DVD special features are nothing spectacular. The subtitles are excellent, a vital difference from fansubs, pirated copies, and such (considering the sensitivity of the dialogue).

By Taikin
Format:VHS Tape
Although this film is the most hotly debated item in the Evangelion universe, fans all tend to agree on one thing about it, regardless of their opinions on many aspects. End of Evangelion is resoundingly beautiful and deeply upsetting. No one really denies that as every eva fan watches the flashes of grotesque imagery, hears the frequent swearing that couldn't really be found in the tv series and tries to comprehend the violent and epic conclusion, that reaction of overwhelming horror and wonder is universal for all.

You'll need to watch it multiple times to understand it-and as anyone who's watched it will tell you, that's not a condescending statement; it is astoundingly convoluted. Infamous scenes such as Shinji by Asuka's hospital bed, the Misato-Shinji confrontation by the lift and the bloody siege of NERV are monuments to the film's controversy and tracks like 'Komm Suesser Todd' and 'Honey Moon with Anxiety' heighten them further.
Beautiful, disconcerting and confusing, this is the true ending. If you've seen all of the tv series then you owe it to yourself to watch this for real closure. It may take some time to accept it, but, ultimately, you won't be disappointed.

This ending just made my brain hurt. While it is a must see for any fan of the Eva series, the stuff that happens is flat out disappointing.
