Anime's legendary EVANGELION franchise is finally coming to an end. NHK spent four years with exclusive access to director Hideaki Anno, documenting the creative process behind the final installment, EVANGELION: 3.0+1.0 THRICE UPON A TIME. For the first time, the camera is allowed inside Anno's studio, a place where he has hitherto shunned all long-term documenting. Anno hinted at the outset that filming him would be a challenge, and he was right. The documentary attempts to capture the real man -- and why master filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki (STUDIO GHIBLI) describes him as one who sheds blood for his films. (c)NHK
