At the turn of the century, the apocalyptic 'Second Impact' melts the polar ice caps, resulting in a flood that wipes out half of Earth's population. In the year 2015 the mysterious alien entities known as 'Angels' return to Earth, seeking to wipe out humanity in an apocalyptic fury.

Devastated, mankind's last remnants moved underground to wait for the day when the Angels would come back to finish the job. Fifteen years later, that day has come…but this time, humanity is ready to fight back with terrifying bio-mechanical weapons known as the Evangelions, Eva's for short. Only a handful of special children are capable of piloting these Evangelions and thus, the fate of the world rests in the hands of a few 14-year-olds. Piloted by Shinji, Rei, Asuka as well as the top-secret U.N. organization code-named NERV, who use these giant bio-mechanical humanoids to withstand the force of the Angels' defense fields long enough for the pilots to tackle the massive invaders in brutal hand-to-hand combat!

To top it off, every Angel that appears is much more advanced than its predecessor, and the Eva's can't defeat it using the same method twice. At the same time, NERV struggles to pierce the veil of mystery surrounding the enigmatic Angels, or are they? High-tech action, blistering battle sequences, soul ripping drama and spectacular visuals are seamlessly merged in the stunning animated series that ventures beyond the boundaries of space opera and questions the very nature of what it is to be human!

Mankind's last battle has begun in Neon Genesis EVANGELION!
