The TV series was produced by Gainax and animated by Tatsunoko, written and directed by Hideaki Anno. Due to production delays, the second half of the series suffered a significant decline in animation quality, and the last two episodes were made in a few days, abandoning the original script. In 1997 Hideaki Anno and the Gainax studio decided to make two animated feature films that could definitively close the plot: Death & Rebirth and The End of Evangelion.

It is the first of two films that resume and conclude the story of the Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series. The film is divided into two parts, Death and Rebirth, with the first being a sort of summary of the first 24 episodes of the original TV series, and the second acting as a prologue to the subsequent film, Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion.

The feature film was made as the conclusion of the cinematic version of the TV series Neon Genesis Evangelion, which ended with two controversial episodes. Like Death & Rebirth, the creators conceived The End of Evangelion as a duology comprising "Episode 25': Love Is Destructive" and "Episode 26': I Need You", remakes of the last two episodes of the original TV series.
