Posted by Noon Anime Team on November 9, 2025
Get in the robot, anime fans, because Studio Khara has just unearthed an absolute relic! In a stunning post, the studio has given us a glimpse into a piece of anime history: a part of the early script draft for the legendary, mind-bending film, The End of Evangelion. For decades, fans have debated, analyzed, and obsessed over the film's shocking and iconic conclusion, and now we're getting a look at what could have been!
The most fascinating part of this reveal comes straight from the creator, the master himself, Hideaki Anno. Attached to the script pages was a comment from the director that sheds so much light on the chaotic creation of the film's finale. He stated, “I had an idea for the ending, but I couldn't bring it together, so it remains extreme & chaotic.” Just let that sink in. The ending we got is already one of the most intense and surreal experiences in cinema, and Anno is telling us the original draft was even more unhinged! It’s an incredible peek behind the curtain into the creative struggle of one of anime's greatest minds.
This isn't just a fun fact; it's a whole new layer to the Evangelion mythos. It opens up a universe of what-ifs and gives us a deeper appreciation for the monumental task Anno faced in bringing his magnum opus to a close. Even after all these years and the Rebuild series, the original Neon Genesis Evangelion continues to find new ways to surprise and captivate us. This is a must-see for any true Eva fan, a tangible piece of the puzzle that is Evangelion. What do you think this even more "extreme" ending could have looked like? Let the speculation begin!
