  4. 4Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death and RebirthMovie · 1997 · 101m · Animation, Drama, Science FictionThe End of Evangelion is a powerful and emotionally intense conclusion to the acclaimed anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion. Originally planned as a new ending to the show, this film explores the psychological and philosophical ideas at the heart of the series. A previous collection of clips, titled Death (Utena), was meant to be a revised finale, but it evolved into Rebirth, the complete reworked ending. Rebirth was divided into two parts, with The End of Evangelion as the first half. While some differences exist between the two parts, both share a striking visual style and deeply examine human connection, despair, and the meaning of life.
