EVANGELION The Giant Mecha


The best, most complex, but also EXTREMELY fucked up anime ever, sometimes leading viewers to depression and deep, deep confusion, as well as headaches from trying to figure out that f'ing show. It has the most beautiful animation, but is known for angering fans with it's inconclusive ending. The story depicts a world that has been all but destroyed by a disaster in the year 2000, and the ensuing chaos when a race called the "Angels" return to destroy what is left of mankind.

An Evangelion (エヴァンゲリオン) is a giant human being of near-godlike power, created by NERV from samples of the First Angel, Adam (although Unit-01 might be an exception). Evangelions were supposedly created to combat the Angel threat, although their most important function (and one of their greatest secrets) is to initiate Third Impact to evolve humanity further.
The Evangelions were designed after a specific type of Japanese monster called "Oni", commonly translated into "demon" or "ogre". In the words of Anno himself
Evangelions do not have a fixed size in the show, and vary in size as the situation demands, going from 40 meters to a towering 200 meters in height (they all have a height of approximately 80 meters in the Rebuild continuity). Created from the Seed of Life Adam (with the seeming exception of Unit-01), their massive bodies are formed of Particle-Wave Matter, but their shape appears to be determined genetically rather than through their A.T. Fields since they were born without souls, having their soul inserted in a Contact Experiment with a human being.
