Directed by Hideaki Anno (chief), Masayuki Kazuya, Tsurumaki
Starring Megumi Hayashibara, Maaya Sakamoto, Kôichi Yamadera
The epic rebuild of the NEON GENESIS EVANGELION saga continues in this second feature film, taking us in a frightening, thrilling and cinematically stunning new direction and featuring all-new characters, including Maki, an Eva pilot, plus new Evangelion units. The story of Shinji, Asuka and Rei - the three chosen children who fight to save Tokyo-3 from monstrous creatures known as Angels - is given startling new dimensions that are both light, and dramatically dark. Piloting the mighty Eva will demand more of Shinji and those around him than any of them are prepared for.
