Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death and Rebirth
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.

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Really Surprised!
Excellent but underrated film
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
When people say "skip this and go straight to End of Evangelion", they actually mean it.I love Evangelion but this movie is a waste of time and money. I bought it at HMV in the summer and bought it because I owned the series on DVD and TEoE.I was excited and I nearly shat myself because it said "107 Minutes", and I thought it was a movie, and it had an 18A rating (I'm from Canada, mind you). I bought it and rushed home with the DVD, taking it out of the silver slipcase and frantically taking it out of the package and putting it in the DVD player.What a waste of time!!!!! This is basically The series recapped in 45 minutes, followed by the first 20 minutes of TEoE. The minute I saw the opening scene from TEoE, I went "wait... are you sure I bought the right movie?". 20 minutes into that part, I just turned it off.Either way I find this negativity sad, because I really did like the series. I really did. I also saw The End of Evangelion and loved it to death, and I think if I had seen The End of Evangelion before this I would have liked it more, however that does NOT change a thing.I dunno about you, but right now I'm halfway into REALLY getting sick of the whole story. I mean, The creepy "Angels", the forgettable protagonist, the girl he's after and all that other stuff... aren't they beginning to get a little... erm... boring ? I mean, really, the only original part of the movie is in the "Rebirth" section, which can easily be found in TEoE.This is a waste of time and money, and the only reason to see is is for the "Director's Cut" stuff (But not like there's a whole lot, there's only 2 seconds of it in total).So this is basically my first Spoiler-free review, because really there's nothing at all to spoil. NO, this will NOT help if you haven't seen the show, and NO, the 45-minute flashback (snarl) will not help, either.Avoid like the plague! Or only see it if you have a burning desire to find out what happened to Asuka in the series.
The Neon Genesis Evangelion series is one of my favorite animes. One only has to look at my End of Evangelion review to see the degree to which I hold the series.However, Death and Rebirth should come with a disclaimer. There are some who would forgo watching the series and instead watch this and the End of Evangelion. I would strongly recommend against watching this film until after you have seen the full tv series. Death and Rebirth suffers from having to stuff a great deal of story (26 episodes X 22 mins = 9.5 hours) into only two hours. It achieves this by cutting out alot and changing the order of the remaining story. Die hard fans of the series will get it, but I doubt a newcomer would. In all honesty, the new scenes are short, few, and far between.To sum up, watch this after watching the full series and the End of Evangelion. It will be most enjoyed by die hard fans wishing to complete the Evangelion experience.
Hmmm..I saw episode one on a mates old VHS copy of NGE and toyed with the idea of buying the box set on DVD. Before I shelled out all that bread I thought I should probably check out death and rebirth. What has been billed by some as a 'synopsis' of the series (except the last two eps).What I actually got was a confusing hour or so that was edited at such fast pace I went cross eyed. When a new character or plot point came up a little caption was introduced to tell you who it was. This remained on the screen for about 12 frames. I had to keep freezing it to find out. This pretty much sums up death and rebirth.I must admit, trying to fit 15 odd hours worth of plot onto a single disc is a pretty big ask but im positive they could have done it better than this.The speacial feature was pretty good, though. It was similar to the follow the white rabbit on the matrix dvd. Everytime something new came up you were prompted to press enter and you were given a brief overview of what was happening.
This movie is incredible. I have seen this in japanese, and i really enjoyed it...it recaps the movie, then brings on the new ending...any Eva fan will appreciate it *note* this movie should be watched by parents firast and deemed appropriate for those under 14, in fact, they shouldn't watch it at all
