 | Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995) Genres: Action, Psychological, Drama, Sci-fi Episodes: 26 Description: 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 agency. 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 Ikari Shinji, whose father heads the NERV team that developed and maintains the Evangelion. Thrust into a maelstrom of battle and events that he does not understand, Shinji is forced to plumb the depths of his own inner resources for the courage and strength to not only fight, but to survive, or risk losing everything. Thoughts: This was a strange show. I understand why it is considered to be so good, but geez does it ever get confusing. I wish that it had explored the Evangelions a bit more, and it was a little predictable. All in all though, it was a very good show, and I really didn't mind the ending, though some people do. Ranking: Story: 4/5 Decent story, again i wish they had explored some stuff more. Animation: 5/5 Everything looked great, nothing odd or out of place. Action: 4/5 Lots of action, mainly fights, but never the same. Comedy: 1/5 It's funny once in a while, but pretty serious otherwise.
