Description

Collection of all 26 episodes of the classic Japanese anime series. Set in the year 2015, the human race has retreated into vast underground cities after the invasion of the dreaded 'Angels', a race of alien creatures. Earth responds by forming the NERV agency, which creates the Evangelions - giant biomechanical weapons that can only be piloted by children.

14-year-old Shinji Ikari (voice of Megumi Ogata) is summoned against his will by his estranged father, Gendou Ikari (Fumihiko Tachiki), to Neo-Tokyo 3 to take up the controls of one of the Evangelion weapons and lead the fight against the Angels. But Shinji begins to question why his father has really contacted him after so many years apart, and why the Angels are really attacking Earth... The episodes are: 'Angel Attack', 'The Beast', 'A Transfer', 'Hedgehog's Dilemma', 'Rei I', 'Rei II', 'A Human Work', 'Asuka Strikes!', 'Both of You, Dance Like You Want to Win!', 'Magma Diver', 'The Day Tokyo-3 Stood Still', 'She Said, 'Don't Make Others Suffer for Your Personal Hatred'', 'Lilliputian Hitcher', 'Weaving a Story', 'Those Women Longed for the Touch of Others' Lips, and Thus Invited Their Kisses', 'Splitting of the Breast', 'Fourth Child', 'Ambivalence', 'Introjection', 'Weaving a Story 2: Oral Stage', 'He Was Aware That He Was Still a Child', 'Don't Be', 'Rei III', 'The Beginning and the End, Or 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door'', 'Do You Love Me?' and 'Take Care of Yourself'.

The anime films 'Evangelion: Death (True)2' (1998) and 'The End of Evangelion' (1997) are also included, offering an alternative ending to the series.
