Series co-creator Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's personal interpretation of the iconic Evangelion characters and story is sure to intrigue new and old fans alike. In 2015, the "Angels" have returned, and Shinji Ikari, a fourteen year-old child of the new Earth, is forced by his father Gendo – commander of the secret organization NERV – to pilot a monstrous biomechanical weapon called "Evangelion" to match the Angels' fearsome power...
