Schoolboy Shinji Ikari is summoned by his estranged father to the vast city of Tokyo 3, however the tearful reunion he was hoping for does not materialise as his father has a far more nefarious reason for wanting his son by his side again. Led down into the underground labyrinth of NERV headquarters, he learns that he is one of only a few children that can pilot one of the enormous Evangelion robots against a terrifying enemy.
As Shinji was being transported to Tokyo-3, it was under attack from the terrifying Angels, creatures of an unknown origin bent on penetrating the city and laying waste to anything they find. Throwing caution to the wind to save an injured girl, Shinji boards one of the massive robots and is launched to his destiny. However there are greater forces at work behind the scenes, and is the true enemy the angels, NERV, the mysterious SEELE, or the demons held within the hearts of the people involved

This is a definitive retelling of the Neon Genesis story and is the first of 4 parts. Those who are unfamiliar with the story of Neon Genesis; Evangelion should get as much out of it as the long time fans. Fans can expect to see some changes in the story and new scenes added in. The narrative is slicker than the late 90s classic as well!
Those of you expecting to see something really new are out of luck with this product though. It is not intended to take the Neon Genesis franchise to bold new places... well certainly not in this introduction chapter.
Evangelion is set in Tokyo-3, a ravaged city that is under attack by creatures called Angels, who seem hellbent on the destruction of human life. It tells the story of reluctant hero, Shinji Ikari, who after 8 years estranged from his father, is summoned by him to be a pilot for a gigantic bio-technological mecha called Eva Unit 01. At the age of 14, can he be expected to save the human race, Or will it all come down to the frail-looking mysterious girl Rei Ayanami?
