| 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 tenager is Shinji Ikari, whose father heads the NERV team
that developed and maintains the Evangelion. Thrust into a maelstorm
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
