Evangelion

Evangelion is an anime series based in the Mecha Genre of animation. The concept of the series is survival, but at many a time this concept is betrayed by the many characters inner demons, and emotions which draws upon the question. What really is Survival? If survival is the ability to continue on with life in some way, or another then how would you interpret surviving in a world in which the Eco-System has been fully thrown out of balance.

In the year 2000 in Antarctica the first angel was discovered barried within the tundra. Then put under top secret by all the major goverments of the world. Scientists began to study the creature, but during the operation the Angel Adam (1st Angel) woke up, and in its rage manage to cover much of the Earth’s Northern Hemisphere in a deluge of fire and Destruction. The Goverments involved fearing reprisal, and shock from the general populas passed the incident off as a comet impacting the earth. Considering that the possible threat of a 2nd impact may perhaps one day occur NERV the organization devised to eliminate, and study the phenomenon known as angels when, and where they appear was created.

Asuka Langeley Soyu an EVA pilot transferred from the NERV branch in Germany along with the new EVA Unit 02. Her rudeness along with Shinji’s Passiveness adds a mixed combination that makes the comedic scenarios that pop up at random rather amusing.

The general setting has been described, but the plot begins on the premise that NERV has been preparing for the return of the angels for 15 years waiting for their plan to be put into action. After the 1st impact Japan, and most of the nations still left are part of the UN. This is an excellent judgement of how fanatically dedicated he is to the Success of NERV.

At this point Rae has recovered fully, and you become more aware that Rae is very distant from reality more along the level of a machine than human. NERVs head people had that whole time been trying to Transcend Humanity into one being. Strangely by some coincidence Suzahara ends up in the EVA unit 01 with Shinji. After the series ended there were 2 movies made the 1st was pointless it was like the final episodes of the series talking about the personalities of the Main Characters and how much they hate themselves and want to die Yada Yada Yada, which was a total waste of time. Suzahara ends up sneaking out of his designated Bomb Shelter to photograph the battle. Finally on the day that the 3rd pilot Shinji Ikari pilot of Evangelion unit 01 is sent to Tokyo 3 by his Father Gendou Ikari the 2nd angel attack in nearly 15 years occurs. The government of Japan seems to be run by several mainframes of supercomputers secretly which organize and create laws. Everyone dies in the end except Shinji, but somehow is reunited with Asuka who by this point is utterly traumatized from the stress of piloting the EVA, and is no longer the perky winy girl as was shown before. Shortly after Shinji attends Junior High, and encounters Toji Suzahara who’s sister was crushed under the rubble of the attack and not finding any form of outlet that would be considered remotely decent beats up Shinji in anger. Considering that Tokyo 3 is by comparison at least twice the size of the First Tokyo and most of the buildings in the city are nearly 100 or more stories tall which would require a lot of ingenuity and resources to create accepting that this is 15 years after the first Tokyo was abandoned.
