how many evangelions animes are there not counting commercials

There are 5 main Evangelion anime entries if you’re not counting commercials : the original TV series, The End of Evangelion , the Rebuild film series, and the recap film Death & Rebirth.

Simple count

• 1 TV anime series : Neon Genesis Evangelion.

• 4 Rebuild films : Evangelion 1.0 , 2.0 , 3.0 , and 3.0+1.0 / Thrice Upon a Time.

• 2 extra films tied to the original series : Death & Rebirth and The End of Evangelion.

Why people count it differently

Some people say 6 because they count the original series, Death & Rebirth, The End of Evangelion , and the 4 Rebuild films separately, but that overlaps the original TV run plus the two related films.

If you mean only the core anime releases , the safest answer is about 7 total anime titles including the TV series and films, but 5 if you’re only counting major story entries and excluding the recap film.

Practical answer

If you just want the easiest count: there’s 1 main TV anime and 6 films , for 7 anime titles total.
