Anno brought his watershed epic to its conclusion in the final installment, End of Evangelion. It 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.
Extras in this set include a gallery of still artwork, short biographies of the main characters, descriptions of the Angels and Evas, and a glossary of terms used in the series. In the voice-over commentary, Amanda Winn Lee (producer-director of the English dub and the voice of Rei Ayanami), co-producer Jason C. Lee and "anime enthusiast" Taliesin Jaffe make a lot of dumb jokes that suggest a lack of respect for both Anno's work and the audience. --Charles Solomon

Customer Reviews of Neon Genesis Evangelion - Death & Rebirth/The End of Evangelion Two-Pak
For The Love Of All That Is Good, Do Not Watch This Let me preface this with the following statement: I very much enjoyed Evangelion. Anime typically does not win me over, but this is one of the good ones that I could watch again and again. I ran out to buy this movie, eager to see more, I was so impressed with the series. I spent money I couldn't afford to spend. That said, this movie is the Antichrist of the series. Before I even get to why it was bad, you should know that Death & Rebirth, unless my disc was broken, is no more than a recap of the series. You're essentially buying what you already own. <

>The first scene in this movie is absolutely symbolic of what the entire movie is. Asuka, laying in a coma, is completely helpless as Shinji masturbates on her. Shinji reprents Hideaki Anno, the director who is ejaculating on you, the helpless viewing audience. Take this imagery in mind as you watch the next two hours; it's essentially an abstract representation of the rape you experience in the first five minutes. Everything you love about the series is systematically bastardized and/or destroyed. I've read that Anno did not make this snuff film of an anime as revenge; I cannot imagine that being true. I want to believe that it simply came from simple rage and is not actually considered by him to be an actual work of art. It is brutally cold in its efficiency. I would urge anyone who reads this and enjoyed the series, or just saw portions of it, or values their own sanity to not open this Pandora's Box, because it is filled with more human agony than the namesake.
Continuation of neongenesis - Evangelion
It continues the story, but makes it very difficult to understand what is going on. It has no clearcut answer to all the loose ends from the ordinary series.
A must for the Evangelion fan
The two part movies Death and Rebirth and End of Evangelion sum up the television series well. Not visually and intellectually disappointing. Some of what is actually happening between Rei/Lillith and Unit One is a little convoluted as to what actually any of it really means. Seeing the Evangelion Platnum Series Director's cut footage will shine a little light on some of the questions the movie will pose.
