The animation in NGE is actually very well done considering the time it was made (and the fact that Gainax was running out of cash). The anime was directed by the famous Hideaki Anno, and is hailed by many fans as his masterpiece (although there are numerous people who disagree with this point of view). It's purpose was to raise awareness and public interest in the anime version that was to be released in October of the following year. NGE first saw the light of day as a manga by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, and was published in Shonen Ace magazine from February 1994. Whatever the case may be, NGE established itself as the hot topic in anime for well over a decade. Plays up to a certain puerile idealogy of the world. Some would argue that there are numerous hidden messages in the show, while others argue that it simply Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of the most debated animes in history.
It's also a reminder to me of something important. The 2007 one was written in response to the obtuse fans that were here at the time, and it will remain after the review as removing it completely would serve no purpose.
Neon genesis evangelion episode 4 online series#
Since so many people have requested this over the years and as there's a new system in place I'm adding my 2009 review for this series which was originally posted on my blog here on MAL. Despite the brutal psychological trauma brought about by piloting an Evangelion, Shinji defends Tokyo-3 against the angelic threat, oblivious to his father's dark machinations. Terrified to open himself up to another, Shinji's life is forever changed upon meeting 29-year-old Misato Katsuragi, a high-ranking NERV officer who shows him a free-spirited maternal kindness he has never experienced.Ī devastating Angel attack forces Shinji into action as Gendou reveals his true motive for inviting his son back to Tokyo-3: Shinji is the only child capable of efficiently piloting Evangelion Unit-01, a new robot that synchronizes with his biometrics. Shinji undergoes a perpetual internal battle against the deeply buried trauma caused by the loss of his mother and the emotional neglect he suffered at the hands of his father.
Years after being abandoned by his father, Shinji Ikari, Gendou's 14-year-old son, returns to Tokyo-3. NERV operates giant humanoid robots dubbed "Evangelions" to combat the Angels with state-of-the-art advanced weaponry and protective barriers known as Absolute Terror Fields. The only hope for human salvation rests in the hands of NERV, a mysterious organization led by the cold Gendou Ikari. Mankind is unable to defend themselves against the Angels despite utilizing their most advanced munitions and military tactics. Fifteen years after a cataclysmic event known as the Second Impact, the world faces a new threat: monstrous celestial beings called "Angels" invade Tokyo-3 one by one.
