“…simply incredible to look at, with bold splashes of colour in every frame, with nuanced movements from the humans and humanoid robots alike, with weight and detail in both its action and its quieter moments of drama.” – Kambole Campbell, Little White Lies
THE FATE OF DESTRUCTION IS ALSO THE JOY OF REBIRTH.
The second of two theatrically released follow-ups to the groundbreaking Neon Genesis Evangelion series created by Hideaki Anno, this final version was created as an alternative ending, remaking the final two episodes from the show. As a finale, the film answers many of the questions surrounding the series, while also opening some new possibilities.
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?
This screening will be proceeded by an introduction from the hosts of AnimeChicago’s podcast Anime’s Game Changers!
