Shortly before The End of Evangelion 's release, Hideaki Anno and Gainax studio produced a feature film called Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death and Rebirth that summarizes the first twenty-four episodes of the series. The film features the voice actors of the original series, including Megumi Ogata as Shinji, Yuko Miyamura as Asuka, and Megumi Hayashibara as Rei Ayanami. Shinji ultimately accepts himself and rejects Instrumentality, preferring to live as an individual alongside others.
