One of the most celebrated anime of all time, NEON GENESIS EVANGELION tells the story of Shinji Ikari, a teenage boy who becomes the reluctant last line of defence for humanity when his distant father orders him to pilot the Unit 01 mecha and do battle with mysterious beings called “Angels”. The series is often credited as revitalising the Japanese anime industry following its premiere in 1995, with it demonstrating the medium’s ability to tell stories of philosophy, and intellectual and emotional characters unlike anything seen before in animation on a global scale.
NEON GENESIS EVANGELION became a watershed moment in the growth of anime fandom worldwide with a legacy as a pop-culture juggernaut that continues to this day.
The NEON GENESIS EVANGELION Complete Collection also contains over 5 hours of bonus features, including classic trailers, music videos, and more. The release includes the series in both its original Japanese language with English subtitles, as well as the 2019 English language dub.
