Neon Genesis Evangelion

Story

 __________________________

A new world...

A new technology...

One last hope for salvation.

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 tenager is Shinji Ikari, whose father heads the NERV team that developed and maintains the Evangelion. Thrust into a maelstorm 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.

  The extraordinarily popular television series that took Japan by storm, NEON GENESIS EVANGELION is the latest project of Gainax, creators of Gunbuster, and Nadia, Secret of Blue Water. EVANGELION has been released as a series of VHS tapes each containing two episodes. The tapes are available in both English Dubbed and Subtitled versions. Additionally, EVANGELION has been released in a deluxe laser disc series, with four bilingual, close captioned episodes per disc.
