Condensing the touchstone anime series NEON GENESIS EVANGELION into a feature-length film, this kinetically paced, impressionistically cut re-edit offers an abstracted retelling of the story of teenage pilot Shinji Ikari, who must confront his inner demons while attempting to save humankind from monstrous creatures known as Angels. Drawn from material spanning the first twenty-four episodes of the series, EVANGELION: DEATH (TRUE)² serves as an entryway to the shattering finale presented in the climactic feature THE END OF EVANGELION.
