Introduction Evangelion's story is very powerful. If you are hesitant to watch an anime where robots fight to save mankind, think again. NEON GENESIS EVANGELION is an anime that is not about fighting robots to save mankind. It is a story of 14 year old kids who is physically and mentally in turmoil and lives a life out of his/her control. It is a story about human drama and human relationships, where heroes are not heroes, and where nobody lives happily ever after. It is a story parallel to what we experience in our real lives. It is rare to see an anime that is more drama than action and yet full of imagination and surprise. It is sad that it will soon end but the final movie "The End of Evangelion" will make this story: a legend among legends in the world and where our grandchildren will continue to watch, enjoy and make them think about their lives. Unlike other anime, Evangelion will make you ponder and wonder after watching, so much so that it is difficult for children below 14 to understand the emotions being portrayed here. If you think anime is for childen, this specific anime isn't, this one is very different, the storyline came from a writer/director who himself was suffering emotionally and you can see his work shine in all sorts of emotional and philosophical content. Some believed that after the final movie, Evangelion will fade away, but it will always remain as a must see for any person who would like to see a touching splendid story, not about robots, but about human beings trying to live and survive among other human beings. This anime is now a household word in Japan, it has made its influence on the Japanese people and a turning point to the anime world, setting new higher standards that will make other future anime strive just to meet it.
At the core of the human soul each of us are alike, each the same...
"How?"
All our minds lack something basic, something we lost many years ago. This creates a vacum in the mind, causing darkness, anxiety and fear in our minds. We all fear the darkness in our soul and run from it. But no one can ever escape.
If we were to evolve into a single entity, to unify each mind and soul, than mankind would be able to fill and complement eachother; we would be able to complete ourselves. This is the aim of the Complementation project.
Instrumentality is not a return to nothingness, but a return to the state of beginning. That is the purpose for which NERV and EVA were created.
"But why?"
