Neon Genesis Evangelion is an iconic, groundbreaking Japanese anime series created by Hideaki Anno and produced by the studio Gainax. Originally aired from 1995 to 1996, the show is a blend of mecha (giant robots), psychological drama, and philosophical themes, with a deep exploration of human nature, existential questions, and the trauma of living.
The story is set in a post-apocalyptic world where mysterious beings called “Angels” threaten humanity. The protagonist, Shinji Ikari, is recruited by an organization called NERV to pilot a massive bio-mechanical robot — an “Evangelion” — in a bid to protect humanity from the Angels.
The series delves into complex themes such as identity, fear, loneliness, and the psychological struggles of its characters, particularly Shinji, who often questions his purpose and the nature of human existence.
In 2007, Neon Genesis Evangelion was reborn as Rebuilt of Evangelion under the creative direction of Hideaki Anno, who oversaw the planning, scriptwriting, and overall production.
This reimagining unfolded in three parts: 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0, captivating audiences and introducing the iconic story to a new generation of fans.
The epic saga reached its conclusion with Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time, the fourth and final film in the Rebuilt series.
This highly anticipated finale garnered immense popularity, drawing an impressive 6.73 million viewers and cementing its place as a cinematic triumph.
