The End of Evangelion continues right where chapter 24 of the series ended, and does so in the most spectacular way ever seen in traditional hand-drawn anime. Despite the fact that at the beginning what may call the most attention to the film is its unquestionable technical and artistic quality, in the end it turns out that it is the most secondary thing in the film, and more important than the artistic power that the film shows, this film represents better than any other the tremendous power that is achieved with an unsurpassed narrative by images and with an infinite amount of symbolism and philosophical references that it shows throughout the film. All these elements together make this film the highest peak ever reached by Japanese animated cinema. The power and impact of the images seen on the screen, the tremendous philosophical and existentialist dialogues in the film, make this film infinite, since it covers so many possible themes and paths that every time you see it you discover some new reference. This film achieves what any other film based on a series would wish, to close the story or rather open it up in an absolutely perfect way and become one of the greatest cult films ever created. Simply the perfect ending to the perfect series.
