The show is based in 2015 and focuses on 14-year-old Shinji Ikari, who becomes the pilot of Eva Unit 01, one in a series of 246-foot-tall bio-machines that synchronize with the nervous systems of their pilots and have force-fields called A.T.

It’s a show that the viewer has to really pay attention to make sense of, and even then it’s still a bit vague and abstract. The movie acts as the 26-episode-long show’s conclusion, with the events in the last two episodes of the show and movie occurring at the same time. In light of “Evangelion: 3.0+1.0,” the fourth and final movie in the “Rebuild of Evangelion” series, being released in Japan, I decided to rewatch the original Japanese mecha anime series “Neon Genesis Evangelion” (1995-1996) and the movie “The End of Evangelion” (1997).
