Neon Genesis Evangelion is notorious, among many other things, for having multiple endings. Once, when the original TV anime came to its conclusion, time and budgetary restraints led to an ending that was abstract yet powerful. Later, a feature-length film was released, attempting to once again draw the series to a close, but creator Hideaki Anno still wasn’t satisfied with his story. Over the following 24 years, a tetralogy of movies once again brought Evangelion to what is seemingly its final resting place.
