In 2021, GKIDS released the original twenty-six-episode television anime of Neon Genesis Evangelion, as well as the Evangelion: Death(True)2 and The End Of Evangelion films on Blu-ray and digital download-to-own for the first time in North America.

“GKIDS is honored to represent the epic conclusion of a story over 25 years in the making. Like with so many others, EVANGELION was critical in expanding my idea of what animation could be, and I look forward to joining other fans in theaters to celebrate the end of the saga with Evangelion:3.0+1.01 Thrice Upon A Time.”
