A team from the Willie organization is rebuilding post-apocalyptic Paris. Attacked by Nerv forces, they need help from the Wunder fleet to ward off the enemy. Despite his crew's protests, Shinji Ikari is determined to join the Wunder fleet and help restore the world.
The themes of hope and positivity introduced are a welcome change for the franchise, and help give a sense of closure for the characters we’ve come to know and love.

It’s bold, dazzling, introspective, and occasionally disturbing, which makes it a fitting capper to not only the new film series, but to the Evangelion story as a whole.
