Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time has landed on Amazon Prime Video, marking the definitive end of the Rebuild of Evangelion film series. Animated by Studio Khara, this entry concludes Shinji Ikari's arc, following the dramatic events of Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo.
The film proved a major success, hitting number one at the Japanese box office and setting a franchise record with 10.22 billion yen earned. It also secured the Animation of the Year award at the 2022 Tokyo Anime Award Festival. Its 8.58 rating on MyAnimeList, based on nearly 200,000 votes, places it among the highest-regarded mecha entries.
Thrice Upon a Time leans into the series' signature blend of psychological depth and philosophical inquiry. It confronts themes of existential dread, the weight of expectation, and the search for human connection amidst a world teetering on annihilation, all amplified by intense mecha combat.
For viewers who have followed the Rebuild narrative, this film delivers a cathartic resolution, aiming to tie up character arcs and plotlines developed across the four movies. The availability of both English dubs and subtitles on Amazon Prime Video allows for a complete viewing experience of this monumental finale.
