Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of the best, and definitely one of the most popular, anime series ever created. The time is in the beginning of the 21st century, the futuristic sci-fi anime series takes place fifteen years after a horrible meteorite crashes into Antarctica and wipes out half the Earth's population, leaving the other half of the population to contend with rising sea levels and other horrible natural phenomena. Chief among the mysteries is the coming of the powerful Angels, an alien race who are possibly responsible for the continues attacks on Tokyo, showing no mercy. Humanity's only hope to survival is to relay on powerful robot warriors created by the NERV organization and created by a group of highly intelligent teenagers. Compelling and provocative, Neon Genesis is presented in its entirety with this amazing collection of thrilling episodes boasting superb video and superb audio remastering. This collectors set comes with six discs and 650 hours of great entertainment.

Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of, if not THE best anime's of all time.
Over all it's a giant mecha anime, but to say just would be anything but.
It is a revolutionary series with excellent story telling, character depth and animation that makes it a must see to all Otaku.
in a post apocalyptic world where mankind is on the brink of extinction at the hands of mysterious entities called Angels, a giant synthetic-humanoid mecha is their only salvation. Piloted by a select few, these young teen's hold the balance. Faced with not only giant menacing monsters but life in general, they must decide what's important to humanity, to their loved ones, and especially to themeselves.

Neon Genesis Evangelion is a compelling series that explores the human heart and dives into its darkest depths to show its audience the fragility of the human condition. Evangelion bares the fractured souls of its characters in their raw, unadulterated state, and does so to an extent that few works in recent memory can match.It has been many years since the airing of Neon Genesis Evangelion, and despite its age, it is still hailed as an amazing work of nigh-unparalleled quality and is considered one of the great classics of the anime subculture. Whether or not the series fits one's tastes, Evangelion has earned its place in history.

I bought the Neon Genesis Evangelion - Platinum: The Complete Collection a few weeks ago mainly because I am a huge fan of the series. This series has been released quite a few times already so, What makes this Platinum release so special? Well for starters it has 5.1 surround sound and remastered video. It also has 4 Director's cut episodes which reveal even more character development to the story. You have NEVER truly seen NGE until you have seen it in its Platinum form. If you are a fan of the series like me, totally worth it for your collection. If you're new to the series remember that it's not all action since it contains many psychological aspects in the story, in other words there will be a lot of talking and explaining, so think if you like this sort of anime before you buy it. Either way, you will NOT be dissapointed!!!

If you're a die hard anime fan...then chances are, you stumbled upon this intricate work of art called Neon Genesis Evangelion. Very well known in the Japanese animation industry, Evangelion is considered one of the Anime Legends of it's time alongside other popular titles such as Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star and Tenchi Muyo. Though it does contain a sense of comedy, its cold, complicated, action-filled plot is packed deep with philosophical and somewhat religious concepts, and it really tries its best to throw a curve ball at its viewers. Character development is hardly prominent though it does retain this minimal change because of the mood it sets throughout the series.

I bought this item partly due to it's popularity and because I am a big fan of the huge mecha anime titles.
