Synopsis

Three years after Shinji Ikari prevented Third Impact during the Battle at NERV HQ, the Earth is at peace once more. NERV has been reorganized under the command of Misato Katsuragi, and Shinji leads the EVA team with the help of his friends Asuka Langley Souryuu and Rei Ayanami. Advancements in technology have led the organization to upgrade its Evangelions, and three Series-0.0 units have been placed into low Earth orbit to watch over the planet.

Just as NERV is on the verge of upgrading Shinji's Unit-01 Type-F, one of the Unit-0.0s goes out of control and crashes near Tokyo-3. Soon after, NERV is attacked by a mysterious Angel Carrier—an oddly modified Mass Production Evangelion. It is now up to Shinji, Asuka, and Rei to stop this attack and identify their mysterious new enemy.

If your favourite part of Evangelion was the religious imagery and lore, then you're in luck, because Anima certainly delivers in that aspect. Due to being in a novel format, Anima has the freedom to have lots of intriguing ideas that an anime wouldn't have the time to flesh out. The lore and mysteries of the original series (such as what exactly SEELE is) are expanded on in a way that feels consistent with Evangelion as a whole. The Christian references are more involved, prominent, and meaningful (though still fairly aesthetic and surface-level), and the global impact of the events is explored -- something the ...

Preliminary (45/45 eps)
This is my first review written so if its a little bad thats why. I got this book series for Christmas of 2020 and it tbh was a really good read for evangelion fans i wish this had all the stats on mal updated. If your a evangelion fan i highly recommend this short side series.

Overall it was a 9 for me the og series and the rebuilds top it maybe one ...

Evangelion, but with slightly more mentally stable characters.

Evangelion: Anima has long been a bit of mystery to western fans. Very short bit was fantranslated, but after a cease and desist, the English version indeed ceased and desisted, the LN falling back into obscurity. Until Seven Seas finally released the whole thing, that is.

Based on the very little info I had about this saying that it takes place in a world Shinji created, I expected it will be another more slice of life spin-off. This turned out to be completely incorrect. If you want that, you’ll have to go for Angelic Days instead. While it’s still ...
