Check out this ugly-a$$ posters for Evangelion. Not sure why GKids thought that was good marketing, but also don't get why these are being shown in the middle of the week. These two movies, subbed, are compilations of the original series. The second film giving us a alternate ending that ranks as one of the most utterly insane visuals in anime history.

* When looking up screenings, no one seems to care for the first film, just like it's always been.
