Information

Title (English) Neon Genesis Evangelion

Title (Japanese) Shin Seiki Evangelion

Advertising
Fantasy Novel

Notes Literal tr.= New Century Evangelion.

Classification -

Synopsis Alien forces come to Earth again - the "Second Impact". To oppose them, schoolchildren are used to pilot "EVAs" - semi-sentient robots incorporating alien technology.

Review One of the most talked about anime of the past few years. With interesting characters, complex action, exciting battle scenes and half-defined philosophical concepts, only occasionally falls flat on its face, as in the scene where they sink a battleship just so that it sinks in the right place to stick in a free-swimming Angel's mouth.
I hear that Asuka Soryu Langley is a favourite character with fans in some countries. Hardly surprising considering how catatonic some of the other chars. are. Of course Asuka is brattish, over-confident and annoying, but you'd have to be flinty hearted not to be won over by a girl who faces apparently certain death so bravely in episode 10.
Eps. #21,22. These two episodes are from late in the series, very downbeat, the first having a lot of flashbacks to before 2015, and the second showing a miserable and under-achieving Asuka Soryu Langley. An excellent piece of scripting. I have to say that, after seeing Asuka nearly die so bravely in an earlier episode, I come over all soppy inside every time she comes on screen.
