What they share

Both films are directed by Tetsuya Watanabe, and they sit in Animation / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Zone of the Enders: Idolo, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What EVANGELION: DEATH (TRUE)² is

You're a quartet of teens piloting bio-mechs in a war for humanity. But the trauma runs deep, and the Angels keep coming. Director Anno remixes the anime into something like a haunted, abstract recap. It lingers, a question mark.
