Evangelion 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon a Time, Hideaki Anno's final Evangelion film, chases that perfect ending. mbmcandrews' review:
has penetrated the cultural consciousness with giant robots, angsty teens and esoteric Biblical references. It is the story of Shinji Ikari, a young boy destined to pilot a giant robot called Unit-01 in a future where creatures called Angels are destined to destroy humanity. But Shinji resists his fate, complaining at every turn and freezing with indecision as the survival of humanity lies on his shoulder.
Meanwhile, a resistance group called Wille engages in a massive battle with Nerv, an organization led by Shinji’s father, Gendo Ikari , with the goal to start human instrumentality—the forced evolution of humanity into a single, more evolved being. The two groups clash over a deserted Paris, complete with EVA pilot Mari using the Eiffel Tower as a javelin.
As Shinji, Asuka and Rei reunite with Wille to prevent the Fourth Impact, Shinji finally accepts his fate and embarks on a truly mind-bending journey that breaks our ideas of time, space and existence. In typical Anno fashion, it is beautiful to look at, but barely makes a lick of sense upon first viewing. That is usually a bad thing, but Anno gets a pass because part of’s allure is its ridiculously complicated lore and purposefully obtuse storytelling that is both frustrating and fascinating.
This prolonged sequence of peace also allows for a longer meditation on what it means to process trauma, and if such a thing is even totally possible. Trauma is the name of the game in, but it’s never really addressed in a constructive way. Characters watch their friends die in increasingly horrific ways and they are just shown sobbing and screaming, but never really acknowledging the emotional repercussions.
The final film in the universe of Shinji, Asuka, Rei and EVAs may not be the best place for franchise novices to start, but it should be a great motivator. Rarely do anime franchises end on such a pitch perfect note and Anno shows it is possible with. After decades of grappling with what this series means to him and using it as a mechanism to process his own emotional baggage, Anno has finally found closure within his broken world full of angst and hope.
