In 2004, ADV released two DVD compilations titled Neon Genesis Evangelion: Resurrection and Neon Genesis Evangelion: Genesis Reborn, encompassing the directors' cuts of episodes from the twenty-first to the twenty-fourth, additionally including the original versions of episodes from the twenty-first to the twenty-sixth. It included "A Cruel Angel's Thesis", "Fly Me to the Moon" and several other tracks that had already been released on previous albums.Director Hideaki Anno fell into a depression following the completion of work on Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water [24] and the 1992 failure of the Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise sequel project, Blue Uru.

Neon Genesis Evangelion has been interpreted as a deeply personal expression of Hideaki Anno's own emotional struggles with depression.
