Editorial Reviews
Product Description
The End of Evangelion' is the shocking theatrical conclusion to 'Neon Genesis Evangelion,' one of the most unpredictable and controversial anime series of all time. The movie's dramatic atmosphere is perfectly conveyed and intensified even further, thanks to the grand-scale musical rendering of composer Shiro Sagisu, whose orchestral composition complements and beautifully contrasts the film's cataclysmic storylines. This movie soundtrack contains 12 superb instrumental tracks along with two notably moving English language songs, 'Thanatos - If I Can't Be Yours' and 'Come Sweet Death.'

One of the best soundtracks I have ever heard.......2006-02-07

The End of Evangelion movie is one weird psychological movie. Oddly enough whilst watching the movie I felt that the soundtrack was fitting. The nice classical score serves as a nice contrast to the end of the world theme prevalent throughout the movie (and Death and Rebirth). Even the song Kom Susser Tod is oddly fitting. The song plays during the Third Impact (when humanity is being destroyed), and yes I thought it was a good song to play while watching Shinji deal with his issues, my reason being: The song is about a girl saying how she may or may not be contemplating suicide and how her hurt is killing her inside. So really when you think about it, it's a negative song, and not quite so cheery as that one reviewer suggests. This soundtrack is one of the best soundtracks I have ever purchased, it is especially great if you like orchaestral style music. It's seconded only by the stellar Battle Royale soundtrack. It is definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of the EVA movies and anime series.

*Highest Recommendation (soundtrack wise)*

A Classical Score to a Futuristic Psych-Drama.......2005-06-01

Those who have yet to see "Shin seiki Evangelion Gekijô-ban: Air/Magokoro wo, kimi ni" aka "The End of Evangelion", you might find the music choice a tad off. This is supposed to be about giant robots, teenage neurosis, and the end of the world, why is the score so full of light, airy classical music. The reason is simple, yet hard to grasp at first.

To give you a slight glimpse into the movie, the first act is unquestionably violent, almost to the point of pornography. But when you play such sweet and relaxing music as Bach's "Air from Orchestral Suite #3 in D", the violence becomes even more horrifying. Since watching this movie, whenever I hear "Air", my mind immediately jumps to the bloody destruction of SEELE Evas. Other great piece is "Jesus Bleibet Meine Freude (Jesus, Joy of Man's Desiring)". Very powerful piano work played during a "down-time" in the movie (i.e. it's not incredibly violent, just psychological). The only piece I didn't appreciate in the score was "Komm, susser Tod (Come, Sweet Death)" I don't know where this piece came from, but the English voice wasn't good enough for me. I would have preferred it in the original German, actually.

Overall, a powerful score that makes up most of the finale to the Evangelion series. Be careful, you might never listen to some of this music the same way again.

A fitting soundtrack .......2005-04-26

I don't own this album yet, however I have seen "The end of Evangelion" and I was very impressed with the music."Komm susser tod" is a really catchy song though I do find it inappropriate the way the song is used in the movie(It's played during the third impact). I just find it weird listening to such a happy song while humanity is being eradicated. Also the use of classical music during the eva fights is a nice contrast.
