Neon Genesis Evangelion, a deconstructed take on the mecha genre, received critical acclaim during its run from 1995 to 1996. The story follows teenager Shinji Ikari who is recruited to pilot a a massive bio-machine known as an Evangelion in order to help in the fight against monstrous beings known as ‘Angels.’
This new release is being facilitated by GKIDS, who announced today that they’ve acquired the licensing rights for the home video and theatrical releases for Neon Genesis Evangelion in North America.
