Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: The DADDY of ALL Mecha-Anime series Comment: What can you say about Neon Genesis Evangelion that has not already been said? This series has single-handedly influenced every subsequent big budget Mecha-Anime series that has followed it, all the series I have seen since have elements in them that I can directly atribute to the Evangelion series, Dai Guard and Rah Xephon being two other excellent series that I can name, but Evangelion has it all, that twisted, unintelligable and convoluted plot that all the best Anime series seem to have, that blends cutting edge UBER-technology with ancient spritual and religious forces with often horrendous and spectaular results, this first volume sets the scene as the dispossesed young boy of Shinji Ikari is catapulted in the bewildering terror of the word of NERV during an "Angel" attack and is forced to pilot the awesome might of Evangelion Unit 01, somehow he survives and the Angel is vanquised, but that is mearly a taste of what is to come, the charcters really stand out (Watch out for PEN-PEN ;) the interaction between them gives great depth and meaning to the series, also ADV do an excellent job of the dubbing and the charcters voices fit perfectly. If your an Anime collector that likes BIG ROBOT action and haven't seen this series yet... there must be something wrong with you BUY IT NOW!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Neon Genesis Evangelion Comment: This show is great, Nothing beats this anime in my opinion. This anime is suitable for really people 12 or over as there is some violence and bad language and even some nudity. I say BUY THE Video or even better DVD Customer Rating: Summary: ONE OF THE BEST MANGA I'VE EVER SEEN!!! Comment: This series is based in the not to distant future it is about a young boy named shinji ikari who was called apon by his father who he hasnt seen for 3 years, his father owns a company named nerv, a company that works on top secret projects. shinji is suddenly asked to pilot a machine, a robot named evangelion or unit 01.once he agrees he is sent to fight the angels a race of powerful creatures.anyway this anime is one of the best and most exciting things i have ever watched you may find the opening theme a bit dodgey, this anime is pretty addictive you will want to watch it over and over again at the end of the fourth episode the vhs/dvd or whatever it finishes and you think to your self"dude i just have to see th next four episodes"i just recently saw the film death and rebirth if you liked this then youll love that so agnain anyway this is an absoloute rockin anime and i'drecommend it to any one who likes anime Customer Rating: Summary: Anime at it's best Comment: The year is 2015, half the world's population is dead after a meteor hit into Antarctica and melted the polar ice caps. After this terrible disaster the world began to rebuild and mankind thought itself out of the woods but then the angels return. The story is set around the main character Sinji Ikri, who is one of the few people world-wide who can fight the angels using the Evangelion.

An immediate success Neon Genesis Evangelion was a large success in Japan and soon the west.
