Produced by Studio Khara, it is the fourth and final film in the Rebuild of Evangelion film series, part of the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise. After a protracted development and multiple delays, Thrice Upon a Time was released on March 8, 2021, and received critical acclaim, with praise given to the screenplay, animation, directing, themes, production design, voice-performances, emotional weight and satisfactory closures and answers. The film also was a box-office success, becoming the highest-grossing film of the franchise and the second-highest-grossing Japanese film of 2021 at ¥10.28 billion. It was released internationally on August 13 the same year via the Amazon Prime Video streaming service.
