| Many of the other feature films listed on MAL that have multiple stories have been posted showing the film as having multiple "episodes" A few examples that come to mind would be: Memories Neo Tokyo Genius Party Genius Party Beyond If all of these feature films, with their multiple parts, are listed as having multiple episodes, then I ask you... why not Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death & Rebirth? Death & Rebirth has two very clear parts, with credits playing after Death, and even a full intermission between them. They are clearly two separate parts, and it's entirely possible that somebody would watch one and not the other, and I feel like it should be possible to reflect that on our list, instead of just having it listed as "dropped" without any clearer indication. What does everybody think? |

dark_relm said: all those examples are compilations of short stories. death and rebirth isnt a compilation, its a movie. Should that really make a difference? The two parts are treated as such. There's even credits after the first half, titled "Death"... Also, "Death" was at one point aired separately on Japanese TV, even though the initial theatrical release had it shown with "Rebirth". Even during the "Renewal of Evangelion" DVD release, they included "Death", and "End of Evangelion", but not "Rebirth". I think they are certainly two separate things, and have been treated as such by the creators. The fact that they were shown together initially is irrelevant. I actually think it'd make a whole lot of sense to split them up into two entirely separate pages... however, if they're going to be kept as one page, it makes a whole lot of sense to at least list it as having two "episodes", since this colloquialism is used for other multi-part movies, such as the few I listed above, as well as both of these: http://myanimelist.net/anime/21899/Gintama:_Yorinuki_Gintama-san_on_Theater_2D http://myanimelist.net/anime/1689/Byousoku_5_Centimeter/ |

I thought End of Eva just went straight through from the last scene of Rebirth into the new scenes. I don't remember any credits or an intermission mid-way through... I could be mis-remembering, though. |

| Yeah, EvenJellyon is right, at least on the DVD version there is ending credits, song and everything, shortly after Shinji sees what happened to Unit 02. |

I could be mis-remembering, though. It has a intermission/credits mid way though which is between Kazuya Tsurumaki's and anno's part. |

| Death has been released separately from Rebirth, and has been re-released a few different types, most recently as Death (True)^2 on Netflix and in the upcoming blu-ray box set. So I think it would make sense to list it separately. |
