About Neon Genesis Evangelion
- Released on October 04, 1995
Neon Genesis Evangelion is a classic anime series that has gained a massive following since its release in 1995. The show is set in a dystopian future where the Earth has been invaded by mysterious creatures known as Angels. These Angels have the power to wipe out humanity, and after a devastating attack, the remnants of mankind have moved underground to wait for the Angels to return. The series follows a group of young pilots, including Shinji Ikari, voiced by Megumi Ogata, and Misato Katsuragi, voiced by Kotono Mitsuishi, who operate giant bio-mechanical weapons known as Evangelions.
Shinji Ikari is the main protagonist of the series, a 14-year-old boy who is recruited by his estranged father, Gendo Ikari, to pilot the Evangelion Unit-01. Shinji is initially reluctant to take on the responsibility but eventually grows into his role as a pilot. Throughout the series, Shinji struggles with feelings of inadequacy, loneliness, and fear, making him a complex and relatable character.
Misato Katsuragi, on the other hand, is a seasoned veteran of NERV, the mysterious organization responsible for the development and operation of the Evangelions. She serves as Shinji's commanding officer and takes on a mentor role for the young pilot. Misato is a tough, no-nonsense character who has seen her fair share of trauma, but she is also capable of showing great empathy and care towards those she cares about. The dynamic between Shinji and Misato is one of the highlights of the series, as they form a deep bond that helps them both cope with the challenges they face.
Overall, Neon Genesis Evangelion is a thought-provoking and thrilling series that explores complex themes of identity, humanity, and the nature of existence. With its memorable characters, stunning animation, and epic battles, it's no wonder that the series has become a cult classic and a must-watch for any anime fan.
