“The End of Evangelion” of Hideaki Anno and Kazuya Tsurumaki (Japan), 1h26:

Summary: The End of Evangelion is a film divided into two parts (Episode 25′: Love is Destructive and Episode 26′: ONE MORE FINAL: I need you) offering a version of episodes 25 and 26 of Neon Genesis Evangelion, final episodes of the series which caused many reactions of dissatisfaction among the fans. Indeed, this feature film brings a realistic and pragmatic conclusion, unlike the 1996 animated series which could only bring a philosophical end. As a consequence of the television context of the 1990s, the film is therefore divided into two parts: the first, centered on the Nerv, the man, and the angels; and the second part, centered on Shinji Ikari and the complementarity plan. In reality, The End of Evangelion is the true ending that Hideaki Anno had planned for the series. However, deemed too extreme by TV Tokyo, the channel on which Neon Genesis Evangelion was broadcast, Hideaki Anno was forced to create a new ending.
