Product Description
Amazon.com Essential Video
One of the most popular anime series of all time, Neon Genesis Evangelion offers interesting characters, sophisticated direction, and solid storytelling. A giant meteor struck Antarctica in 2000, devastating much of the Earth. Since then, humans and the mysterious aliens known as Angels have been locked in a deadly struggle. In 2015, scientists at the NERV Center in the fortress-city of Tokyo 3 are developing ways to combat the Angels, notably the Human Enhancement Project and the giant battle robots called Evangelions. Fourteen-year-old Shinji Ikari, whose aloof father heads these research projects, is drafted to pilot Evangelion Unit 01. Shinji is a reluctant hero, as many mecha pilots are, but his reluctance is not just an arbitrary whim; it's rooted in his estrangement from his father. Shy and socially maladroit, Shinji displays a likable warmth the grimly taciturn teenagers in ordinary mecha shows lack. Rounding out the cast are Rei Ayanami, the silent, albino pilot of Unit 00; irrepressible Misato Katsuragi, who serves as a substitute mother to Shinji; technical expert Ritsuko Akagi; and Shinji's classmates Toji Suzuhara and Kensuke Aida. Evangelion offers a dark vision of the future, but director Hideaki Anno presents it very skillfully. Episodes include: 1. "Angel Attack," 2. "Unfamiliar Ceiling," 3. "The Phone That Never Rings," 4. "Rain, Escape & Afterwards." Not rated; suitable for ages 14 and up: robot vs. robot violence, brief nudity, and minor profanity. --Charles Solomon

This series will blow you away,
By Robert evans (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Neon Genesis Evangelion: V.1 Collection 0:1 (ep.1-4) (DVD)
I checked this DVD out at the nearest comic book store available.This series will blow you away. The Year is 2015 and all of humanity has changed after a meteor strikes the earth. It's a cover story so theres still more to this I just haven't gotten there yet. Shinji, a young some what frightend and miserable kid who gets a call from his father saying he want's him only to find out the only reason he want's him back is because he needs him to join NERV. What or whom is Nerv...Well You'll have to find that out for your selves. With Shinji, NERV can now fight the Angels(which I won't spoil for you)with there last hope of salvation. EVA! Now I think I'm not even giving good detail bout' this so I'll leave it for another reviewer to tell you about this story. But I will say this series is great and is one of the best. The Dvd is ok. Not good extras though, but still it's great. Check it out...

Eva rules!,
By William (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Neon Genesis Evangelion: Platinum:01 (ep.1-5) (DVD)
From what I saw, the renewal video quality is much improved: (...)This is one of the most complex anime TV series. The series has more layers than you can shake a figurine at. It has definite rewatch value. I wish amazon had volume one with the box.
