Product Review
Neon Genesis Evangelion: Platinum Collection includes six DVDs where all of the episodes are condensed. The final disc contains the director's cut episodes also. Neon Genesis Evangelion is set in the year 2015 where half of the Earth's population is dead, victims of the disaster called Second Impact. Answering the summons from his enigmatic father, 14 year old, Shinji Ikari arrives in the rebuilt city of New Tokyo-3 just as a gigantic creature known as the Angel attacks. Forced in to the cockpit of a giant bio-mechanical construct known as an Evangelion, Shinji must defend the city from the rampaging Angel or die trying.
Neon Genesis Evangelion (NGE) starts out simple enough. A story about a boy named Shinji Ikari coming to a futuristic city and using giant robot-like Evas (Unit-01 himself) to fend off the invading enemies called Angels. Along the way he meets a mysterious girl and pilot of Unit-00, Rei Ayanami, the fiery pilot of Unit-02 Asuka Langley Soryu, Director of Nerv Operations Misato Katsuragi, the brilliant scientist, Ritsuko Akagi and his estranged father and Nerv's Commander, Gendo Ikari. There's also an intriguing cast of minor characters including friends from his school, Toji and Kensuke and Nerv's Vice Commander Fuyutsuki.
