However, there was some debate over its controversial ending.[18]In response, two films were made to provide an alternate ending for the show:Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death & Rebirth,[19]released in March 1997, andThe End of Evangelionreleased in July 1997.[20]Deathis a 60-minute compilation of parts from the first 24 episodes of the TV series, with some new footage added in order to prepare forRebirth,which contains the last two episodes and the first 30 minutes ofEnd of Evangelion.[21]

The popularity of the show spawned numerous additional media, including video games,[22]radio dramas,[23]audio books,[citation needed]a light novel series,[24]pachinkomachines,[25]and atetralogyof films titledRebuild of Evangelion.[26]Other derivative works includeAngelic Days,[27]Petit Eva: Evangelion@School[28]andShinji Ikari Raising Project.[29]

Setting

[edit]

Works within theNeon Genesis Evangelionfranchise typically have the same setting, characters, and themes, but can vary in their portrayal of the different storylines with alternate re-tellings of the original anime.[30]Many later works, such asDeath & RebirthandThe Rebuild of Evangelion,diverge greatly from the original anime.[31]Evangelion's fictional setting takes place after the Second Impact, a cataclysmic explosion inAntarcticain the year 2000,[32]which killed billions of people and threw the Earth off its axis.[33]Fifteen years after the Second Impact, a group of mysterious beings referred to as "Angels"[34]begin appearing and pose a worldwide and existential threat to what remains of mankind. The NERV organization, a paramilitary special agency recruited and controlled by the UN, is tasked with defeating the Angels,[35]with the use of giant mechanical warriors known as "Evangelions".[36]A select group of children pilot the Evangelions, with focus put onShinji Ikari,Rei AyanamiandAsuka Langley Soryu.[37]As the story progresses, it delves intophilosophicalandpsychologicalthemes such asidentity,trauma,and thenature of existence.The relationships between the characters are also explored, particularly between Shinji, Asuka, and Rei, as they navigate their complex and sometimes contentious dynamics. The backdrop ofNeon Genesis Evangelionslowly reveals the true nature of Rei Ayanami, the Evangelions, the Angels, the NERV organization and a group known as SEELE.[38]The series incorporates religious themes, includingChristianityandKabbalah[39]andAdam,Lilithand theDead Sea Scrolls.[40]The series is well known for itspsychoanalysisof the characters and features the theories of famous psychologists likeJungandFreud.[41][42]This is most heavily covered in the implementation of the Human Instrumentality Project, the secret goal of NERV and SEELE, whose result varies across different media, including the original anime, films, manga and video games.[43]

Rei 2 wakes up and gets ready to go to school, using an automaticwaffle-ironlike machine to instantly dress herself. Unfortunately, she makes a wrong turn on the way to school and ends up near a forest. Meanwhile, Shinji is on his way to school, but a giant bird perches on a power line Shinji is standing under, and defecates on Shinji, burying him in a pile of excrement taller than he is. Rei 2 then runs like the wind to get to school on time, zipping by Shinji so fast that the shockwave blasts all of the excrement off of him and making him clean again. Rei 2 then arrives at school, which pops out of the ground (like Tokyo-3) at the push of a button on the gate.
2"Cleaning Time"
"Osōji no Jikan" (お tảo trừ の thời gian)		March 28, 2007(2007-03-28)
Shinji, Eva-01,Asuka,andRei 2are sweeping and mopping the classroom. As soon as PrincipalGendoleaves the room, the children start playing: Asuka throws her wet towel at Shinji who bats it back to her using his broom, while Eva-01 cheers them on (Rei 2 keeps silently working). Every time Gendo comes back into the room, they instantly stop and switch back to cleaning quietly. Suspicious, Gendo keeps opening the door to the classroom again and again with increasing frequency, each time the children playing when the door is closed and cleaning when its open. Eventually, Gendo opens and closes the door so fast that the children accidentally switch it up; playing when Gendo is in the open doorway and cleaning when its closed. Without saying anything, Gendo leaves with the door closed, with the children unwittingly cleaning even though no one is watching them.

While walking to school, Shinji falls down a deep hole, leading to a cavern where Eva-01 is practicing fight moves. Embarrassed, Eva-01 proceeds to chase Shinji: each of them digs tunnels very fast as they chase each other through the ground (possibly a reference to Gainax's other series,Gurren Lagann). They then start repeatedly popping their heads above the surface like rabbits, with Shinji continuing to try to evade Eva-01. However, at the end Shinji's head pops out of the ground, directly underneath Asuka, resulting in his getting a full view up her skirt. Shocked, Asuka jumps away, only to then stand directly on top of Eva-01's hole, giving Eva-01 an unintended look right up her skirt. Outraged, she flings them both across the schoolyard. Both are injured, but instead of continuing to fight Shinji, Eva-01 gives him a "thumbs up" salute (at getting a look at Asuka's panties), which Shinji returns with a thumbs up back to Eva-01.

Although Eva-01 is briefly put at a disadvantage by running out of power, Asuka and Shinji are able to recharge and super-size their friend. Outmatched, Sachiel attempts to flee, but Eva-01 seizes it, mashes it into a ball shape, and hurls it away.

Unfortunately, when she gets there the baker tells her that the cake actually costs 1,050 yen. Rei 1 is upset and begins to cry, but then the mysterious stranger wearing the ghost sheet costume walks in. The "ghost" puts a 50 yen coin on the counter, then quickly leaves. Rei 1 leaves happily with her cake, then notices the stranger in the ghost costume and follows him. He tries to tell her to go away and leave, but Rei 1 steps on his sheet as he walks away.

Shinji then explains in flashback that while in school, he encountered someone wearing a full-body ghost costume with a zipper in the back, who motioned for him to finish zipping it up. Instead he unzipped it, to reveal that Misato was inside. Meanwhile, Rei 2 continues on her way home, but on her way through a forest she encountered a child completely covered in mud, who collapses. Rei 2 brings the child home and washes the mud off in the bath, revealing that it is another Rei clone.

Shinji barely manages to keep all three spinning plates from falling, but when Eva-01 adds the beach ball to his head, he can't control it and it goes shooting off. The beach ball lands on Principal Gendo's head. The other children run away in fear, while Shinji remains frozen. Gendo glares at him, but otherwise leaves without scolding him, to Shinji's relief. Elsewhere, Rei 3 waves at the person wearing the "ghost" sheet (secretly Kaworu) as he walks out of a store in town. Later that afternoon, Shinji returns home to find Yui Ikari preparing dinner (as in the Alternate Universe, Shinji, Yui, and Gendo live together, but Gendo is the school Principal and still doesn't get along very well with Shinji).

Shinji flees in fear, with Zuruel giving chase. Both fall into a hidden hole that leads into a cavern in which Eva-01 is practicing boxing moves. Knowing Shinji has already been into his cave before, he targets Zeruel instead. They both exchange glares, and Eva-01 opens the fight by picking his non-existent nose. He scores gold, and two boogers appear on his fingers. Zeruel attempts to fight back, but his wide-spread "hands" are too big to fit into his nostrils. Unable to retaliate, he flees, and Eva-01 gives chase with the boogers. Both appear in the school-courtyard, with Zeruel still fleeing. Eva-01 flicks the boogers at the latter. Fortunately for Zeruel, the Angel trips on a pebble, and the boogers barely pass over his back. The two projectiles are now aimed at an unaware Asuka and Rei 2. Rei 2 quickly reacts and tosses tissues into the air, catching the boogers before they can make contact. They land harmlessly into a trashcan. Surprised, Eva-01 runs up beside Zeruel. Rei 2 scolds Eva-01 that if it ever has boogers again, it is to wipe its nose and put it in a trashcan. Embarrassed, Eva-01 scratches his head, and Zeruel falls in love with Rei 2 for saving him.

"Tondeku" (Phi んでく)		March 11, 2009(2009-03-11)

In the school, Misato takes attendance and discovers that Eva-01 is missing, with the latter having skipped class to go fishing with Zeruel. As Eva-01 relaxes on the riverbank, Zeruel catches a large, glowing blue ball that promptly absorbs the Angel into itself. Eva-01 pursues the ball as it flies to the school, where it absorbs several students. When Misato tries to punch the ball, she gets stuck to it as the orb flies back into the courtyard. Shinji's attempt to grab his teacher's leg narrowly fails, but Toji manages to free Misato by throwing himself into the ball. Shinji falls out the window while catching Misato, and Eva-01 catches him in turn.

As Asuka, Rei 2, Kensuke, and Hikari rush outside to meet up with Shinji and Misato, Eva-01 attacks the ball, only to be absorbed into it. Misato rallies the remaining students against the strange aggressor, but the ball absorbs them as well. After absorbing Futuyutski and Gendo, the ball swells to a massive size. The MP Eva brings this to the attention of Kaworu, standing on a rooftop in the city below the hill - in response, Kaworu presses a button on a remote control that sends the main tower of the school rocketing into the ball. One massive explosion later, everyone trapped by the ball is freed, and the ball itself is reduced to colorful, confetti-like fragments. Shinji looks around in confusion, only to jump in shock when the school tower lands back in its original spot.

Rebuild of Evangelion

[edit]
Main article:Rebuild of Evangelion

Rebuild of Evangelion,known in Japan and onAmazon Prime Video[99]asEvangelion: New Theatrical Edition(ヱヴァンゲリヲン tân kịch tràng bản,Evangerion Shin Gekijōban), is a Japaneseanimatedfilm seriesand a retelling of the originalNeon Genesis Evangelionanime television series, produced byStudio Khara.Hideaki Anno[100]served as the writer and general manager of the project, withKazuya Tsurumaki[101]and Masayuki[102]directing the films themselves.Yoshiyuki Sadamoto,Ikuto Yamashita[103]andShirō Sagisu[104]returned to provide character designs, mechanical designs and music respectively.[105]

The filmtetralogyusesdigital ink and paint,someCG animation,[106]and provides new scenes, settings and characters, with a completely new conclusion in the fourth and final film.[107]Another stated intention of the series is for it to be more accessible to non-fans than the original TV series and films were.[108]It was made to present an alternate retelling of episodes 1-19 of the TV series (including new scenes, settings, and characters) and a completely new conclusion to the story.[109]The first filmEvangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alonewas released in Japan on September 1, 2007, withEvangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) AdvanceandEvangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redoreleased on June 27, 2009, and November 17, 2012, respectively. The final film,Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time,was released on March 8, 2021.[110]Upon its home media release in March 8, 2023, two neworiginal video animations,Evangelion: 3.0 (-46h)andEvangelion: 3.0 (-120min)were included.[111]

Proposed live-action film

[edit]

Development of a live-action movie version ofNeon Genesis EvangelionbyGainax,Weta Workshop Ltd.,andADV Films(then the worldwide distributor of theEvangelionseries outside ofAsiaandAustralia) was announced at theCannes Film Festivalon May 21, 2003.[112]Early coverage included ADV Films raising "about half of the $100 million to $120 million needed to produce the film"[113]and some concept art produced byWeta Workshop.[114][115][116]ADV was particularly inspired by the success ofThe Lord of the Ringsfilm series, and wanted to replicate it with a film of their own, possibly a trilogy.[117]

As time passed without any official announcements, the project showed increasing signs of being indevelopment hell.AtAnime Expo2008, ADV founders Matt Greenfield and John Ledford claimed that they had hired the producerJohn Woo,pitched the idea to other producers such asJerry BruckheimerandSteven Spielberg,[118]and seen increased interest in the wake of the success of the 2007 filmTransformers.[119]AtOhayocon2009, Greenfield claimed that several U.S. studios were competing for rights to the project, predicting an official announcement naming project details within the next nine months (he later noted that the closer he got to sealing a deal, the less he could say anything about it).[120]Though the sudden collapse and asset sale ofA.D. Visionin September 2009 raised concerns over the project's viability, Greenfield, Ledford,[121][122]and producer Joseph Chou[123]insisted the project was still actively searching for a director.

In August 2011, A.D. Vision sued Gainax, claiming their refusal to accept anoptionpayment for the perpetual live-action rights toEvangelionwas a breach of contract and resulted in losing an opportunity to produce the film with a major studio. ADV had asked to be awarded the full live-action rights and any accruinglegal fees.It was one of many multiple legal battles between Gainax and ADV. Gainax rejected this claim and returned their payment of $100,000.[124][125]

Tiffany Grant,voice actress for Asuka in the ADV localization and then married to Greenfield, toldPolygonin 2019 that the project was a dud and never had a shooting script or any signed crew or cast.[126]Although Weta artists had talked with some Gainax staff, by that time Anno had already set on making theRebuildfilms, and had started to take the franchise with him to his new studio Khara, despite ADV continuing to negotiate only with Gainax, and the project faded into abandonment.[127][117]

Anno has been questioned on a live-action adaptation ofEvangelion,particularly a Western one, multiple times. He has shown himself resistant to the idea. Anno reiterated thatEvawas always conceived as an animation and made with a Japanese audience with mind, and he believes Western creators have too different a mindset and methods compared to Japanese creators: "There may be Japanese film-makers who can collaborate with Western creators, but I’m not one of them".[128]He also dislikes live-action adaptations of anime, as well as live-action works inspired by anime overall. Anno believesEvacould not be properly expressed in live-action, and strongly dislikes the idea of Hollywood remaking it.[129]
