Description:
Director Hideo Anno has returned to the controversial ending of his watershed television series yet again. In these penultimate chapters, he's added entire scenes that help to clarify story points. (The disc contains both versions, and is a must-have for Evangelion fans.) Some of the previously unseen footage consists of few seconds of visuals: Rei drawing the Lance of Longinus from the body of Adam, and the Lance's destruction of the 15th Angel. But a lengthy flashback of Asuka pursuing Kaji helps to explain her eventual emotional breakdown. The battle in episode 23 is more powerful and disturbing when the 16th Angel transforms itself into an image of Rei to attack Shinji. Added footage of the graveyard of discarded Evas intensifies the viewer's sense of the hideous truth behind SEELE's schemes. The "sneak peek" of the live action Evangelion film combines early production sketches with patronizing statements from Ben Wooten and Richard Taylor of the special effects studio Weta, about how "exciting" it is to see these images "brought to life"--when animators brought them to life in 1995. (Rated 15 and older: violence, nudity, grotesque imagery, alcohol and tobacco use.) --Charles Solomon
