Revival of Evangelion was the third
Neon Genesis Evangelion movie to be released in
Japan.
Revival is ultimately the "
final vision" of
GAINAX and
Anno Hideaki. It combines parts of the first two movies,
Evangelion: Death and Rebirth and
The End of Evangelion, into one long production. Revival is how the
Eva movies were supposed to be released if GAINAX didn't have all the
money and
scheduling problems it did. It is a "
complete" ending,
"This is the ending you were asking for".
Revival of Evangelion is was released in Japan on
March 7, 1998 and it contains the following:
This is basically just
Evangelion: Death (True)² plus
The End of Evangelion. It contains no "original"
Evangelion: Death, no
Evangelion: Rebirth and no new scenes. It is just the combining of all the parts into what was originally
envisioned.

Evangelion: Death (True)² and
Evangelion: Death see the full
Evangelion: Death and Rebirth write-up.
