Description

"Japan's most controversial anime series is over... but not the manga version of Neon Genesis Evangelion! Series co-creator Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's personal interpretation of the Evangelion characters and story is sure to intrigue new and old fans alike! In 2015, the 'Angels' have returned, and Shinji Ikari, a fourteen-year-old child of the new Earth, is forced by his father Gendo - commander of the secret organization NERV - to pilot the monstrous biomechanical weapon called 'Evangelion' to match the Angels' fearsome power. One of the founding members of Studio Gainax, Japan's most progressive anime studio, Evangelion's Yoshiyuki Sadamoto was also the character designer for their recent Adult Swim smash, FLCL! Volume 1 features a Japanese sound FX glossary plus special bonus commentary by series mecha designer Ikuto Yamashita, as well as the famous 'confession letter' written by director Hideaki Anno in the months before the original TV series premiere that laid out his deeply personal motivations to make Evangelion. NOTE: Not available outside the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. SC, 184pg, b&w"
