Fall 1995 Anime

Fifteen years after Second Impact destroyed half the world, beings called Angels are attacking the fortress city Tokyo-3. Only teenagers can pilot NERV's giant Evangelion units, so commander Gendo Ikari summons the son he abandoned, fourteen year old Shinji, and orders him into Unit-01. Shinji, the silent Rei and the proud Asuka hold the line while the adults around them pursue secret plans for the future of humanity. Neon Genesis Evangelion is a 26 episode robot series that turns, episode by episode, into a landmark study of depression, family and the fear of other people.
