About Neon Genesis Evangelion

Neon Genesis Evangelion (新世紀エヴァンゲリオン) is a sci-fi mecha anime series that began airing in 1995. It follows a group of 14-year-old pilots chosen to operate giant humanoid weapons called “Evangelions” in order to fight mysterious beings known as “Apostles.” The series’ psychologically rich storytelling sparked a cultural phenomenon both in Japan and internationally. The franchise has since expanded through its original TV run, the classic theatrical films, and the Rebuild of Evangelion film series, which concluded with Shin Evangelion Theatrical Version. In February 2026, the 30th-anniversary event EVANGELION:30+; 30th ANNIVERSARY OF EVANGELION announced a brand-new series currently in development.
