Neon Genesis Evangelion

The television ending and the theatrical ending cover the same two episodes, and the four Rebuild films tell the whole story a second time.

Where to start with Neon Genesis Evangelion

Watch the 1995 television series all the way through, all 26 episodes, then watch The End of Evangelion. Do not start with the Rebuild films and do not stop at episode 24. Everything else on this page is a recap or a second telling.

  1. 1
    Episodes 1 to 26 Neon Genesis Evangelion

    The complete broadcast run. Episodes 25 and 26 are the abstract finale made as the production ran out of money and time, and they do resolve the story on their own terms.

  2. 2
    The End of Evangelion The End of Evangelion

    Anno's theatrical version of those same last two episodes, made after the broadcast. It is not a sequel and it does not continue past episode 24.

  3. 3
    Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone

    Only after you have finished the original. This begins a separate four film retelling that assumes nothing but rewards knowing the first version.

Then what? Continue through 2.0, 3.0 and 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time, which is the end of the Rebuild line. Skip Death & Rebirth and Revival of Evangelion unless you want to see the recap edits, because they contain no footage that is new to you.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
