EVANGELION:3.0+1.01 THRICE UPON A TIME is heading to Amazon Prime Video in the UK this August, and a new trailer gives us a first look at the Japanese anime blockbuster.

The film is the fourth and final chapter of the new theatrical edition of Evangelion. The franchise is a Japanese anime pop culture phenomenon based on the story of Evangelion, an artificial human and multipurpose humanoid weapon, and the Angels, an unknown life-form which takes place after the Earth has been shattered by a cataclysmic event. This final film features all original voice actors including Megumi Ogata, Megumi Hayashibara, Yûko Miyamura and uses the latest imaging technology to showcase the personalities and relationships of its unique characters as they fight for survival. It will be dubbed in 10 languages including English, French, German, Portuguese, Spanish and Italian, and offer subtitles in 28 languages.

From Kazuya Tsurumaki, Katsuichi Nakayama and Mahiro Maeda – as well as legendary creator, screenwriter and chief director Hideaki Anno (Shin Godzilla) – the result is the most-watched movie in Japanese cinemas in 2021. It sees Misato and her anti-NERV group Wille arrive at Paris, a city now red from core-ization. Crew from the flagship Wunder land on a containment tower. They only have 720 seconds to restore the city. When a horde of NERV Evas appear, Mari’s improved Eva Unit 8 must intercept.

“I’d like to thank every Eva fan in the world for your continued support.” said Hideaki Anno. “We were looking for the best way to offer the movie to fans overseas as early as possible in a challenging situation with movie theatres during COVID-19, and are happy to have found Prime Video as a partner to stream it globally.
