Monday 22nd June 2015 reportedly marked the day on which the first episode of anime masterpiece Neon Genesis Evangelion takes place, and I completely missed that until Wednesday.
To belatedly mark it, however, this weekend I’m going to re-post my reviews of the four Evangelion films that have so far made their way to British discs (the fifth, Evangelion 3.33, is long-awaited thanks to a whole kerfuffle over the subtitle translation. Last I heard, we can expect it in early 2016).
Today: the two films that recapped/re-concluded the original series back in the ’90s, here covered in two short reviews from 2007.
Tomorrow: the first half of the Rebuild of Evangelion project, a reconfiguration / restoration / remake of the TV series as a tetralogy of films. (See the exciting placeholder images, which will excitingly turn into real links tomorrow, below.)
Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion
Evangelion: 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone.
Evangelion: 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance.
