Plot

A highly experimental film presenting a story out of chronological order taking place 15 years after a near-apocalyptic catastrophe, about four traumatized 14 year olds who are tasked with piloting massive humanoid decisive weapons called Evangelion, the psychologically maladjusted adults who handle and command them, and the events and forces that affect them or which they take part in as they engage…

Sinekatalog’s take

A fragmentary recap-and-reworking of a landmark anime series, rearranging its story into an experimental collage. It is far more of a mood piece than a primer, so newcomers may feel lost. Dedicated fans will appreciate the new angles and the raw psychological intensity.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
