Evangelion: Thrice Upon A Time Collector's Edition Gets Steep Black Friday Discount
The final chapter in the Rebuild of Evangelion film series launched October 17, and both editions are discounted at Amazon.
The fourth and final chapter in the Rebuild of Evangelion film series, Evangelion: 3.0 + 1.11 Thrice Upon a Time, arrived on Blu-ray earlier this year, and now Evangelion fans can grab the 4K collector's edition for $55.30 (down from $80) and the standard Blu-ray for $20 (was $30) at Amazon.
Evangelion 3.0+1.11: Thrice Upon a Time
4K Blu-ray - $55.30 (was $80) | Blu-ray - $20 (was $30)
The limited-edition version of Thrice Upon a Time packs in a 4K UHD disc and two Blu-ray discs, a 28-page book, a 16.5″ x 11.7″ poster, and five art cards, while the full-HD standard edition has two Blu-ray discs so that fans can own both the English and Japanese language versions of the movie. As for extras on the discs, there are messages from the staff who worked on the film, promotional reels, TV spots, and trailers.
"Shinji Ikari is still adrift after losing his will to live, but the place he arrives at teaches him what it means to hope," reads the official synopsis for the fourth film, which probably won't make sense unless you've seen the previous three movies. "Finally, the Instrumentality Project is set in motion, and he will make one last grueling stand to prevent the Final Impact."
Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Complete Series (Blu-ray)
$29 (was $60)
The full original Neon Genesis Evangelion anime series is also on sale during Black Friday. Amazon has the Blu-ray version for just $29 (down from $60). The five-disc collection includes the full 26-episode run.

The Rebuild of Evangelion project is essentially a retelling of the cult-classic Neon Genesis Evangelion anime series that took years to unfold, and began in 2007 with Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone. While that film was a nearly line-for-line and shot-for-shot remake of the first six episodes of the anime series, it deviated from the plot in subtle ways, and the following films began to drift even further away from the source material.
Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance was released in 2009 and Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo, which broke free entirely from series canon, arrived in 2012. Thrice Upon a Time concluded that tale, and while it does reference the infamous End of Evangelion, it's still wildly different from the original.
