# Where to Watch Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance

**Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance streams on Amazon Prime Video with the rest of the Rebuild film series. This is the film where the Rebuild project stops being a remake and becomes its own beast — new pilots, new battles, and a finale that veers hard off the original story's rails.**

## Where to Watch

- [Amazon Prime Video](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08SWJ4SKT)

Prime Video is the home of all the Rebuild films, so once you're in, the whole series is one binge. Watch 1.0 first if you haven't — 2.0 assumes you know the players.

## Synopsis

The war against the Angels escalates, and Shinji and Rei are no longer carrying it alone: the ferociously proud Asuka arrives from Europe, and a mysterious new pilot named Mari enters the board with an agenda nobody can read. Between battles, the film lets its damaged teenagers almost become friends — shared dinners, small kindnesses, the fragile beginnings of trust — which only raises the stakes when the next Angel assault threatens to trigger another apocalyptic Impact. It ends on one of the most audacious sequences in the entire franchise.

## FAQ

### Where can I watch Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance?

On Amazon Prime Video, along with the other three Rebuild of Evangelion films.

### Can I start Evangelion with 2.0?

Not recommended — it builds directly on 1.0's characters and events. Start with 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone.

### Is 2.0 just a remake of the series?

It starts as a retelling but introduces new characters and swerves into original territory by the end — this is where Rebuild becomes its own story.
