The End of Evangelion (新世紀エヴァンゲリオン劇場版 THE END OF EVANGELION, Shin seiki Evangelion Gekijō-ban: The End of Evangelion) is a 1997 anime movie by Hideaki Anno, created as an alternate ending to the series Neon Genesis Evangelion.
It is meant to either replace or complement the original ending in Episode 25 and Episode 26 of the original series (there is some debate on just exactly how the two endings fit together).
Overview
With the defeat of the final Angel, Gendo Ikari turns on the Seele organization, each of them wanting to initiate Third Impact under their own control. Through Seele's control of the United Nations, it orders a massive leave-no-survivors assault on Tokyo-3 by the JSSDF. Asuka, piloting Eva Unit 02, is able to repulse the JSSDF, motivating Seele to deploy the nine Mass Production model Evangelions against Eva 02. After a titanic battle, Eva 02 is destroyed, killing Asuka. Meanwhile, Misato fights her way through the JSSDF's invasion of Nerv HQ to bring Shinji to Eva Unit 01. Rei merges with Adam and then Lilith, rejecting Gendo, and instigates Third Impact and Instrumentality using Eva 01, the Mass Production Evangelions, and the Spear of Longinus. After examining his life's meaning with Rei/Lilith, Shinji decides to reject Instrumentality, and return to the world even though that means being hurt. Some time later, Shinji wakes up on the beach of the Sea of LCL formed by Instrumentality, and finds Asuka alive next to him.

It is a commonly held belief that Hideaki Anno created End of Evangelion as a form of revenge against Evangelion fans unhappy with the existing ending to the TV series. In reality, the End of Evangelion is closer to the original concept for the series ending, which was changed due to budget and censorship issues[Source needed]. It's also a commonly held belief that the Death threats flashed on screen in End of Evangelion were for the ending of the TV series, when in fact, the Death threats shown on screen at least, were in regards to Evangelion Death And Rebirth's ending. Most of these 'death threats' were, in fact, letters of praise and encouragement. Only 2 can really be considered 'death threats', while only 1 can really even be considered 'hate mail'.
