The En of Evangelion (新世紀エヴァンゲリオン劇場版 THE END OF EVANGELION, Shin seiki Evangerion Gekijō-ban: The End of Evangelion?) is a 1997 anime film written and chief directed by Hideaki Anno; it won the Japan Academy Prize for popularity. The movie also won the Animage Anime Grand Prix prize for 1997. The film can be regarded as either an alternate ending to the popular animated series Neon Genesis Evangelion or as a more detailed, "real world" account of the ending found in the series' original ending in episodes #25 and #26, which takes place almost completely in the psyche of the main characters (the style being largely shaped by time and budget restraints). The film is divided into two approx 45 minute "episodes," Episode 25': Air and Episode 26': まごころを、君に (Magokoro o, kimi ni, "My Purest Heart for You"). Both are shown without opening credits, but both include ending credits, meaning that credits for Air are shown halfway through the film.
