Evangelion
 

    Shinji Ikari arrives in Tokyo-3 to find an empty city. The 14 year old boy doesn't have much time to ponder this before he finds himself in the middle of a battle between the Unated Nations Forces and an "Angel". In the middle of this, his ride arrives in the form of Misato Katsuragi (the girl that Shinji was told to wait for). Shinji is here because he was summoned by his father ..the commander of NERV . Shinji is the chosen pilot for a giant robot called Evangelion. Thrust into the middle of the battle, the unprepared and frightened Shinji will have to use EVA-01 to defeat the Angel. This is a series which pulls together such diverse elements as giant robots, secret experiments, child psychology, great monster battles, and the Dead Sea Scrolls, among other things, to create an extraordinarily complex and involving epic story. Shinji is the "3rd Child", one of a very special group of 14 year olds who are the ONLY ones who can pilot Evangelion. This aspect is only part of the mystery and helps to illustrate the complexity present in this series. Besides, this series has Misato...a beautiful woman who is the NERV combat commander ...*and* she owns a penguin! :-)
    NOTE: The word "Angel" is used extensively throughout the series in English, but in Japanese, shito (Disciple) is used (i.e. the Disciples present with Jesus at the Last Supper).
    NOTE: If you think I got even a tenth of what this series is about in this entry...you have GOT to be kidding :-). There are many action episodes, but also a lot of important dialogue throughout. Watching with a script, or a subtitled/dubbed version is highly recommended.
    OAV series - 26 episodes. This is the video release of the TV series. Another version of the last two parts (25,26) will replace the original TV episodes. Created in response to fan disappointment/confusion over the original closing episodes.
    "Evangelion: DEATH" movie. This is an original story.
    "Evangelion: REBIRTH" movie. Original story.
    "Evangelion: REBIRTH 2" movie. Original story.
US Release by: AD Vision (subtitled and dubbed)
