Skip it unless you're already deep in Evangelion fandom. This is a Frankenstein of recapped TV footage and incomplete sequel material—watch the original series instead, then tackle The End of Evangelion proper if you want the real ending.

Plot

Originally a collection of clips from the Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series, Death was created as a precursor to the re-worked ending of the series. Rebirth was intended as that re-worked ending, but after production overruns Rebirth became only the first half of the first part of The End of Evangelion, with some minor differences.
