They only have 720 seconds to restore the city. When a horde of Eve from NERV appears, Mari’s enhanced Eve Unit 8 must intercept it. Meanwhile, Shinji, Asuka and Rei (Provisional Name) roam Japan.

As with so many others, EVANGELION was instrumental in expanding my idea of what animation could be, and I can’t wait to join other fans in theaters to celebrate the end of the saga with EVANGELION: 3.0 + 1.01 THRICE UPON. A TIME.
