Neon Genesis Evangelion Comes Back to the Big Screen

Evangelion Returns: Two Classic Films Hit U.S. Screens for One Day Only

The iconic 1990s anime Neon Genesis Evangelion is back in theaters after nearly thirty years. As part of the 30th‑anniversary celebrations that began last year, a new film will play in U.S. cinemas for a single day this July.

• Evangelion’s Death & Rebirth – July 21
• The End of Evangelion – July 22

Each film is a one‑day event, so fans must act fast. The original Death & Rebirth blends the TV series with new scenes and has been trimmed and renamed multiple times. Now North American audiences can see both parts together on the big screen for the first time.

The End of Evangelion, released in 1997, remains a powerful standalone story. At about 87 minutes, it mixes action, philosophy, and deep emotion—qualities that have earned it a place among the best sci‑fi films ever made.

Whether you’re a long‑time fan of the series or new to anime, this brief but memorable event offers a chance to experience the film as it was intended in 1997. Tickets are limited and may sell out quickly, so check availability early.
