Neon Genesis Evangelion (Shinseiki Evangelion)
Also known as: 新世紀エヴァンゲリオン
Fifteen years after the Second Impact, colossal Angels repeatedly assault Tokyo-3, forcing humanity to rely on NERV and its giant Evangelion robots. When Gendou Ikari summons his estranged son Shinji back to the city, the traumatized teenager discovers he alone can pilot Evangelion Unit-01,a discovery that binds him to a brutal psychological struggle between his yearning for connection, his fear of abandonment, and his father's hidden agenda to reshape humanity itself.
