Canadian Theatrical News: Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion


GKIDS is bringing Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion to Canadian theatres this month. The 1997 film acts as an alternate ending to Hideaki Anno and Gainax’s iconic television series of the same name. This marks the film’s first official theatrical release in North America.

Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion was directed by Hideaki Anno and Kazuya Tsurumaki from the former’s script. Shirō Sagisu composed the score.

This final movie version was created as an alternative ending to the NEON GENESIS EVANGELION TV series, remaking the final two episodes from the series. SEELE plans an attack on NERV after failing to create a man-made Third Impact. After reaffirming both her own and her mother’s existence in a state of despair, Asuka returns and begins the counterattack. However, new enemies descend from the heavens. Meanwhile, Shinji witnesses the horrifying wreckage of Asuka’s EVA-02 while piloting EVA-01. Mass production models surround EVA-01 and perform a solemn ceremony. What does it mean to complete a human heart?

The film will be screened exclusively in Japanese with English subtitles. As of this writing, the movie is solely playing in arthouses and independent theatres, with some locations already screening the film, while others have dates over the next few weeks.
