Summary: In the year 2015, the Angels, huge, tremendously powerful, alien war machines, appear in Tokyo for the second time. The only hope for Mankind`s survival lies in the Evangelion, a humanoid fighting machine developed by NERV, a special United Nations agency. Capable of withstanding anything the Angels can dish out, the Evangelion`s one drawback lies in the limited number of people able to pilot them. Only a handful of teenagers, all born fourteen years ago, nine months after the Angels first appeared, are able to interface with the Evangelion. One such teenager is Shinji Ikari, whose father heads the NERV team that developed and maintains the Evangelion. Thrust into a maelstrom of battle and events that he does not understand, Shinji is forced to plumb the depths of his own inner resources for the courage and strength to not only fight, but to survive, or risk losing everything.

This is the first anime I ever watched, the anime that got me into anime so to speak. This is a must see for anyone who loves mecha series but people who don't certainly can enjoy it too (I know because I'm one of those people) This series also isn't your typical mecha series either, as the story goes on, it has many deep, philosophical twists and turns that will really get you thinking. This series definatly isn't for someone who is looking for something fluffy or light hearted. It is very dark and at times depressing and focuses a lot on the nature of humankind. Also, it is one of those that might be difficult to understand the first time you watch it wich in my opinion is a great thing because you learn something new each time you watch the series. I have watched this series over and over and I still figure out new theories each time. Basically anyone who likes anime that really makes you think will love this one.
