Collection: evangelion

In 2000, a gigantic explosion occurred in Antarctica. This cataclysm, officially caused by the fall of an asteroid, causes the waters to rise several tens of meters and devastates a large part of the planet, causing the death of two billion people and a new world war.

Fifteen years later, humanity has overcome this dramatic event called the "Second Impact", but mysterious giant creatures, the Angels, appear and try to destroy Tokyo-3, the new capital-fortress of Japan. To combat them, the secret organization NERV has developed the "Evangelion" (or "EVA"), humanoid giants of mechanical appearance.

Shinji Ikari, a 14-year-old boy, goes to Tokyo-3 at the invitation of his father, director of NERV, whom he has not seen for ten years. He is far from suspecting that he was called to pilot an EVA and take part in the fight against the "Third Angel". This is only the first of a long series where he will be accompanied by Rei Ayanami, and later Asuka Soryu Langley, and where each confrontation can lead to the disappearance of humanity. But they will also have to settle their own inner conflicts as the mysterious organization SEELE, which secretly leads NERV, tries to put in place its "Plan of Complementarity of Man" whose goal is to evolve the human race towards a new stadium.
