Synopsis

In 1999, a meteorite crashed into Antarctica. The impact melted the continental ice mass and drastically raised sea levels, damaging the world's climate and causing the deaths of over half its population. Now in 2015, devastating creatures of unknown origin—referred to as Angels—ravage what remains of the planet.

In the heavily fortified city of Tokyo-3, 14-year-old Shinji Ikari is destined to halt the Angels' onslaught. Recruited by his father's secret organization, NERV, Shinji is enlisted as a pilot of an Evangelion, a massive bioorganic android created solely to defeat the Angels.

Suddenly with the weight of the world upon his shoulders, Shinji must find the courage and drive to stand up for the future—and himself. But as skirmishes between the Evangelions and Angels become recurrent, the horrifying truth of the world is slowly revealed.

Background

Shinseiki Evangelion was initially serialized in Shounen Ace but moved to Young Ace on July 7, 2009. Although it was set to be released just shortly before the anime series began airing, production delays pushed the anime's airing date to 10 months later.

The series was published in English as Neon Genesis Evangelion by VIZ Media from December 1998 to May 2003 for seven volumes. The publisher rereleased the manga under the Action imprint from February 25, 2004, to February 10, 2015, and in 3-in-1 omnibus volumes from November 13, 2012, to June 14, 2016. It was also released in Spanish by Norma Editorial from May 2003 to January 2015; in Brazilian Portuguese by Editora JBC from November 2001 to December 2014; and in Italian by Panini Comics from October 18, 2001, to November 22, 2014.

Well, I wanted to make my first reviews for anime and manga on probably my favorite series of all time, the Evangelion franchise. Well what else can is say besides, its the goat. The characters writing is second to none, and the story is excellent. I highly recommend reading this (After you have watched all of evangelion, including the rebuilds) because it does a lot of stuff different, and in some cases even better than the original franchise. I will go in an more in depth review and analysis once I can put my emotions to paper, when will that be? We'll never know until ...

Mixed Feelings
The art is beautiful, nothing too much but it is charismatic. But when it comes to fights, I can't understand anything. The script is so confusing and boring that even watching the anime and reading the manga I still don't understand anything. Why is this? There is no such thing as coming up with theory and having to watch video, a work must be direct and objective. The characters are very one-sided. Rei is an empty shell with no feelings, Asuka is boring and spoiled, her father is absent. The only source of the 5 points I gave to this manga was Shinji. I think ...
