About Neon Genesis Evangelion
Neon Genesis Evangelion is a Japanese anime franchise created by Hideaki Anno and produced by GAINAX, first broadcast in 1995. Set in a post-apocalyptic world threatened by mysterious beings known as Angels, the series follows a group of teenage pilots tasked with operating biomechanical weapons called Evangelions, humanity’s last defense against extinction.
Beyond its mecha action, Evangelion is widely recognized for its psychological depth, exploring themes such as identity, trauma, depression, isolation, and human connection. Its unconventional storytelling, religious symbolism, and philosophical undertones significantly reshaped the anime industry and influenced generations of creators.
Following the original TV series and its controversial ending, the franchise expanded through multiple films, including The End of Evangelion (1997). In 2007, Anno rebooted the property with the Rebuild of Evangelion film series produced by Studio Khara including: Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone, 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance, 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo, and the concluding film Shin Evangelion (2021).
The release of Shin Evangelion marked the definitive conclusion of the main saga and became the franchise’s most commercially successful entry, surpassing ¥10 billion at the Japanese box office. Nearly three decades after its debut, Neon Genesis Evangelion remains one of the most influential and culturally significant anime franchises of all time.
