Japan Synopsis
新世紀エヴァンゲリオン 劇場版 DEATH & REBIRTH シト新生
“When our HEARTS are melting together, I will be destroyed.”
Originally a collection of clips from the Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series, Death was created as a precursor to the re-worked ending of the series. Rebirth was intended as that re-worked ending, but after production overruns Rebirth became only the first half of the first part of The End of Evangelion, with some minor differences.
