Synopsis
Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion (1997) is an anime film from GAINAX and Production I.G you can watch online on iFILM. Directors Hideaki Anno and Kazuya Tsurumaki built it as the true ending of the TV series — 87 minutes that replace the controversial final two episodes.
SEELE sends its entire military force to destroy NERV. Gendo Ikari has his own endgame running in parallel, one that has nothing to do with saving anyone. Shinji Ikari is on the floor of the hospital, unable to move. Rei makes a choice that shatters every assumption about her. And Asuka, alone in Eva-02, faces what comes next with everything she has left. Megumi Ogata, Megumi Hayashibara, and Yuko Miyamura carry the emotional weight of the whole franchise in these final sequences.
Anno rewrote the ending after the TV finale drew intense backlash. What he delivered split audiences in 1997 and still does — some call it the most honest finale in anime history, others argue about its meaning decades later. Watch The End of Evangelion (1997) online on iFILM.
