Neon Genesis Evangelion

Neon Genesis Evangelion revolutionised the mecha genre with its psychological depth and apocalyptic vision. Centred on teenage pilot Shinji Ikari and the bio-mechanical Evangelion units, the series explores identity, trauma, and human connection amid battles against mysterious beings known as Angels. Renowned for its striking visuals, complex symbolism, and emotional intensity, Evangelion remains one of anime’s most influential works, inspiring countless reinterpretations through films, model kits, and modern reimaginings such as the Rebuild of Evangelion series.
