Neon Genesis Evangelion

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 Evangelions' 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 an Evangelion.

One such teenager is Ikari Shinji, whose father heads the NERV team that developed and maintains the Evangelions.

Thrust into a maelstrom of battles 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.

Note: The 2003 Renewal of Evangelion is the final remastered version.

It includes:

The original TV series, episodes 1-20

The Director's Cut of episodes 21-24 of the original TV series

Death(True)^2, released on the ninth disc with the label of Revival of Evangelion

The End of Evangelion, released on the tenth disc, with the label Evangelion– The Feature Film

EP5 - Rei I

EVA-00 is finally repaired, and Shinji tries to get to know its enigmatic pilot, Rei Ayanami, better.

EVA-01 and EVA-02 are defeated, and NERV is publicly humiliated. With the Angel in a week-long regeneration period after an N² Mine attack by the JSSDF, Asuka and Shinji must learn to synchronize with each others movements combat, in order to defeat it once and for all.

Feb 21, 1996

Feb 28, 1996

Kaworu's openness and friendliness provide much-needed comfort for the disturbed Shinji. However, suspicions abound over Kaworu's incredible synchronization abilities.
Mar 20, 1996

EP25 - Do You Love Me?

Instrumentality has begun, and now its inner process, the joining of all souls into one, will be depicted. The episode is primarily driven by dialogue, the background usually complete darkness. White text often appears on a black screen, an omniscient voice questioning the characters.
Mar 27, 1996

EP26 - Take Care of Yourself.

Instrumentality continues. The focus is primarily on Shinji now, as he learns to accept the individual’s ability to shape their world, and how the self cannot exist without others to define it.
