Shinji is completely lost in life and has no idea what to do or where to go. Asuka is in an unresponsive state, he had just killed Kaworu , and he is too afraid to show his face to Rei or Misato. Asuka begins fighting back against the military force attacking NERV in Evangelion Unit 02 , but they manage to cut her power cord, giving her a limited amount of energy to work with.
They prove to be too much, however, and Asuka is defeated and Evangelion Unit 02 is gruesomely mangled just in time for Shinji to find her. It removes some of the scenes used in the original release, while some were added back into Death True2. As it contains the story of the original series albeit in a condensed form and the complete ending of The End of Evangelion , many consider it to be the penultimate version of the original movie releases.
Tokyo Otaku Mode. Evangelion: Death is a recap of the first 24 episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion, lasting 70 minutes in length, and was released on March 15, , along with Rebirth. It is shown in the format of a string quartet, each focusing on one of four characters: Shinji, Asuka, Rei, and Kaworu. The theatrical release of Death showed extra footage that had never been seen previously.
This footage was later released as extra footage for episodes 21' through 24'. A second theatrical release, airing on Japanese Satellite TV on January 2, , was retitled Death true and excluded the extra footage from the initial release. Rebirth is the unfinished version of the first portion of Episode 25'. It was released in the theatres along with Death on March 15, , and consists of 27 minutes of entirely new animation that would eventually form the first third of the film The End of Evangelion released four months later.
Unlike the U. Due to Rebirth being a prototype version of Episode 25' , there are numerous differences between the two versions, most of them cosmetic. It appears that Masayuki really didn't want to include all the excerpts of the new scenes from episode 21 to 24 because he removed some of them from this new version of Evangelion: Death.
This version has only been released on home video once, with the Archives of Evangelion DVD set from Between the two bursts of flame, a soldier's voice can be heard saying "Hit 'em again!
Connections Edited into Revival of Evangelion User reviews 34 Review. Top review. A good way to prepare yourself to Evengelio 1, 2 and 3 if you did not see the series. I did not watch the original 26 episodes series but I watched in these days all Evangelion films, because of the high ratings: Death and Rebirth a recompilation of the original series , The End a rewriting of the End of the series, still considered one of the best Anime ever , and then the last three, 1 and 2 which reboot the series apparently without mayor changes, and 3 which goes in new territories.
At first I will write about Evangelion in general, and then about this specific movie here. My opinion? A big omelet of everything, which finally means absolutely nothing. Wiki says that after the failure of his previous works which he judged as childish he wanted to make something "deeper". And I am afraid that only the Naive could be impressed by such a confused mess.
I can still see why this show had success: Evas are cool, fights too, and there is enough mix of drama, action, teenage nerd sexuality in the typical Japanese style, and some sort of epic. I suppose that if you are younger than me and without any knowledge of psychology or esoterism, and a bit nerd, you may enjoy this works pretty much more than I did.
About this film: well, the first half is just a recompilation of episodes of the series, and the second part is a preview of the movie "End of Evangelion", so I would say: watch the first half. If you like it, you can watch directly End of Evangelion skipping the last part of this movie. I personally did so. The first half of this, then the End, then 1 and 2 reboot of the Series , and then the horrible 3. Even if I am sure that watching the whole series would be a more complete experience, the vision of this recompilation and of the reboot 1 and 2 gave me enough not to feel I miss the series, and showed me that I may not like the series so much to dedicate to it more time.
