Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death and Rebirth

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death and Rebirth, a 1997 film, initially served as a retrospective compilation of clips from the series' earlier episodes, setting the stage for the series' climactic transformation. However, as production complications emerged, the film's second half, Rebirth, morphed into a truncated prelude to The End of Evangelion, retaining thematic continuity but diverging in narrative scope and intent.
