Neon Evangelion - Which ending?

[GH33DA]

I bought Neon Genesis Evangelion - Perfect Collection (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000639E0/). And I only watched episodes 1-24.

Now, I want to see the ending. But there are so many choices. :confused:

Neon Genesis Evangelion - Death & Rebirth (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000068OIY/)
Neon Genesis Evangelion - The End of Evangelion (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000068OJ1/)
Neon Genesis Evangelion - Death & Rebirth/The End of Evangelion Two-Pak (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0009S4J5K/)
Neon Genesis Evangelion - Genesis Reborn (Director's Cut, Episodes 24-26) (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00011ZBUW)


I'm thinking I should watch them all. But, I'm not sure in which order. Of course, maybe I shouldn't watch them all. What do you guys think?

I say watch them all but that could lead to major confusion.

Um, the TV ending(episode 25 and 26) are included with the Perfect Collection. It's pretty much just like a psychology lesson for Shinji which is why Anno received death threats for ruining the ending(which some were actually in End of Evangelion)

1.) Death and Rebirth is a recap of the tv series, and it includes a preview of the End of Evangelion. It's not an alternate ending.

2.) End of Evangelion is the only alternate ending to the tv series.

3.) is just Death and Rebirth and End of Eva both included. Nothing different, but they give you a mouse pad and a postcard..

4.) is pretty much Volume 7 of the Platinum Edition, except it gives you a preview of the live action movie. In fact, there's not that much difference between the cut version and the uncut one. Just that Misato overhears Kaworu talking to SEELE and we see Rei's nipples.

If you're going for completion, get the movie collection. If you just want to see the "real"(and horribly sad) ending, just get End of Evangelion.

The ending in the TV version and EoE is basically the same result so I wouldn't say watching them all would confuse. EoE goes more into what's happening to the people as Instrumentality is taking place
