Walid-kun's Anime recommendations!



Hello and once again welcome to Walid-kun's Anime recommendations! EPISODE 02, with your host: Walid-kun! (well, duh)

Todays anime recommendation is none less than:
Neon Genesis: Evangelion.
Neon Genesis is pretty much the 'Shawshank Redemption' of Anime, in other words, it's really good. Some would even say a master-piece.
Most anime/manga fans out there has probably already read/seen it, or at the very least heard of it.

There's 26 episodes, and 6 movies so far, only 4 or 5 available in the US. I have personally never read the manga version of Neon Genesis so I can't really vouch for it.
Honestly, I usually have difficulties watching anime's this old ( 1995-1996 ) but the amazing story-line got me hooked. It made me completely forget about the low-quality painting and video-rendering. The latest movie was available in Blu-ray, and the quality was A-MA-ZING.

Here's a quite rough summarize of Neon Genesis: Evangelion.
The story starts around the year ~2000, where "The Second Impact" occurs, I still wonder what the First Impact was.. Maybe they're aiming for the comets that made the dinosaurs vanish? But I digress, "The Second Impact" which were described as an global cataclysm, killed half of humanity and completely destroyed Antarctica. There's a lot of scientific factors involved that I'm NOT going to become engrossed in for now. They soon realize that the comet that hit the earth was the result of an contact with the first "Angel" called Adam. The Japanese created a paramilitary organization called "NERV". "NERV's" central mission is to locate the remaining Angels and destroy them.

So if you haven't checked it out yet, go and do it NOW. Oh and don't forget to take out the trash while you're at it, thaaanks ~

Walid-kun.
