Evangelion: Death (True)²
Evangelion: Death (True)² is below average at 42% across 33 head-to-head matchups, but it's not out of the conversation. No round offers a foothold — below average at every stage. A recap and restructuring of the original series that offers little to voters who haven't already committed to the Evangelion universe, and not much more to those who have. It competes at a structural disadvantage — compilation films rarely generate the kind of passion that wins forced-choice matchups. Its presence on a ballot is more a testament to the franchise's gravity than to anything the film itself brings to the table. Fans decide quickly — 0.7s avg vs 3.5s platform average.
Synopsis
A highly experimental film presenting a story out of chronological order taking place 15 years after a near-apocalyptic catastrophe, about four traumatized 14 year olds who are tasked with piloting massive humanoid decisive weapons called Evangelion, the psychologically maladjusted adults who handle and command them, and the events and forces that affect them or which they take part in as they engage massive hostile invaders known as "Angels."
The matchup with Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo is a genuine coin flip at 50% — neither film has found an edge.
In Hideaki Anno's filmography, Evangelion: Death (True)² ranks #7 of 8. Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion leads at 69%; Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death and Rebirth at 33% trails.
Featured in Apocalypse Now-ish.
