A Cultural Phenomenon

Neon Genesis Evangelion remains one of the most influential and popular anime series in history. Directed by Hideaki Anno and produced by Gainax, the anime first aired in 1995, and it quickly became a cornerstone of the genre. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, it follows Shinji Ikari, a 14-year-old boy enlisted by the secret organization NERV to pilot a giant bio-mechanical robot known as an “Evangelion” to protect humanity from mysterious creatures called “Angels.”

The Evangelion franchise has expanded significantly since its original television run, encompassing multiple films, reboots, and spin-offs. The most recent series, Rebuild of Evangelion, concluded with the release of Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time in 2021, offering a final chapter to the epic saga.
