IMDb profile

Revival of Evangelion (Revival of Evangelion: Death(true)²/Air/まごころを、君に, Revival of Evangelion: Death(true)²/Air/Magokoro o, Kimi ni) is a concatenation of the 1997 Neon Genesis Evangelion movies Death(true)2 and The End of Evangelion. It is considered the final form of the Evangelion movies, which were released in several forms prior to Revival.

[edit] Death(true)2

The first part, Death, was originally released as part of Evangelion: Death and Rebirth which itself consisted of two parts. The first part, Death, consists of a 60-minute edit of the Neon Genesis Evangelion television show, including redone scenes and several new scenes. The version used in Revival, called Death(true)² is a re-editing of Death without the new scenes (which were added to the Director's Cut of the television series) and a few minor changes. The second half, Rebirth, consisted of the first part of The End of Evangelion and therefore is an early unfinished version of the second Evangelion movie.

[edit] Air / My Purest Heart for You

Main article: The End of Evangelion

The second part of Revival, Air / My Purest Heart for You, consists of the movie The End of Evangelion.

[edit] Video release

The movie never made it in its cinematic form to a VHS-, Laserdisc- or DVD-release. Instead there were two separate releases for The End of Evangelion and Death and Rebirth (which included the Death(true)²-Version of Death). However the Renewal of Evangelion-DVD Box´ (which marks the final DVD-release of Evangelion in Japan) discs 9 and 10 contained the movies Death(true)² and The End of Evangelion in its video-form (see the article to EoE). These 2 discs were dubbed Revival of Evangelion. So you could say this is the video version of Revival or the final version of the final version of the Evangelion movies.
