The year is 2015, as the remnants of the human race cower in subterranean cities, a deadly war is being waged for what is left of the planet, and humankind's fate. On one side are the mysterious beings known only as Angels; on the other, the special agency NERV and mankind's last hope, the awe-inspiring Evangelions. Piloted by a special team of young warriors, these giant bio-mechanical humanoids are the only thing that can withstand the force of the Angels' defense fields long enough for the pilots to to tackle the massive invaders themselves in close hand to hand combat! With the lives of every living thing on the planet and the pilot's souls at stake, these few youngsters must reach deep inside themselves to find the strength and courage necessary to meet the angels head on in a desperate attempt to save mankind. At the same time, NERV struggles to pierce the veil of mystery surrounding the enigmatic angels. Why was Earth attacked? And why were the only Evangelion-qualified pilots born exactly nine months after half the humanrace was massacred in Second Impact? Mankind's last battle has begun.
