Original title: Shin Seiki Evangelion
In the year 2015, the Angels, huge, tremendously powerful, alien war machines, appear in Tokyo for the second time. The only hope for Mankind's survival lies in the Evangelion, a humanoid fighting machine developed by NERV, a special United Nations a…gency. Capable of withstanding anything the Angels can dish out, the Evangelion's one drawback lies in the limited number of people able to pilot them. Only a handful of teenagers, all born fourteen years ago, nine months after the Angels first appeared, are able to interface with the Evangelion. One such teenager is Shinji Ikari, whose father heads the NERV team that developed and maintains the Evangelion.
Platform catalogue reviewed on . Availability varies by country and date.
You should watch it for its characters, its highlights and a second half that turns the battle against the Angels into something much more personal.
It's a good fit if you're looking for psychological science fiction, symbolism, and complicated protagonists.
What sets it apart from other mecha is that the EVA are not simple robots and are linked to the mothers of their pilots; saving the world never cures your inability to reach out to others.
