Neon Genesis Evangelion (Japanese: 新世紀エヴァンゲリオン, Shin Seiki Evangerion) is a Japanese mecha anime series created by Studio Gainax and directed by Hideaki Anno. Set in the post-apocalyptic near-future Tokyo, the main story revolves around a war between hostile beings known as "Angels" and the paramilitary organization NERV's giant humanoids "Evangelions," which are piloted by select teenagers, including the protagonist Shinji Ikari. Critically acclaimed as one of the most influential anime series made in the 1990s and an example of anime as an art form, the series has gained popularity in Japan, as well as a cult following in the United States and other Western countries. In 2019, the series was released on Netflix.
