Everything Evangelion Anime!

This Japanese Anime is a favorite!

Hideaki Anno's Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of the most widely viewed and discussed series in anime! One thing that sets it apart is the combination of theology and a character-driven storyline with the mecha-- futuristic machines, especially robots. The questions raised about the future of the human race stimulate viewers' imaginations, and the characters in this story show a depth of personality that is rare, even for anime. Ikuto Yamashita's designs of the robots are strikingly original and one thing that has helped make the series a favorite.

The story is set in 2015, just 15 years after a cataclysmic explosion in Antarctica has caused the ice cap to melt, killing a large portion of the Earth's population. Although it was reported as a meteor impact, the explosion was actually caused by human interaction with Adam, the first of a series of powerful, sentient creatures known as "Angels" to appear on Earth.

To defend against their depredations, humans rely on NERV, a secret paramilitary organization dedicated to destroying the hostile Angels with their gargantuan robots called Evangelions, or Evas.Only teenagers with special psychic powers can pilot the Evas, and the very best pilot is the repressed 14-year-old Shinji Ikari, who is a more interesting, believable character than the standard mecha pilot.

I have put together a collection of the best of "Everything Evangelion" to give you an idea of the scope of things people enjoy and love to collect from this genre. If you are looking for gift ideas or love to collect, or just look at anime, than I think you will enjoy reading this lens as much as I have enjoyed writing it!

Following the release of the ultra-popular Rei Ayanami in Plug Suit from Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone and the Asuka Langley Soryu in Plug Suit from Evangelion 1.0: You Can (Not) Advance, comes the third component in the trio of beautiful Neon Genesis Evangelion ladies-- Makinami Mari Illustrious. Appearing in the theatrical remake, 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance, Mari is the mysterious pilot of the Provisional Evangelion Unit-05.

Coyly posed peeking over her shoulder with a cute grin, Mari kneels in her distinctive pink plug suit. The vividly colored outfit is ultra-tight and hugs every curve of her body. This feminine young pilot can be displayed in two ways: with or without her unique removable red glasses. Mari rests with one hand on a miniature rock-like bust of the Beast Mode EVA Unit-02. Her outfit and base perfectly match those of Rei and Asuka, making them three of a kind. She will make the perfect gift for you-- or for anyone else who is a fan of Evangelion!

Standing 9" tall (in 1/6th scale), Mari was crafted by Bishoujo sculptor Tsukuru Shirahige.

Imported from Japan! This is one of the newest cast members in the Evangelion saga, introduced in Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance, Mari Illustrious Makinami now comes to three-dimensional life as a new addition to Medicom's expertly sculpted, highly popular Real Action Hero figure line! The PVC figure stands approximately 12" tall and is sculpted to capture every detail of the character, right down to her signature glasses and her pink plug-suit.

She stands 12'' tall and comes with a display stand and extra hands. None the less awsome. Not recommended as a toy for young kids, this is more of a display figure. She is awesome. The perfect gift-- or, if you like the anime and the movie, then this is for you!

The completed figure is bigger than in other EVA kits that has been released to date. The basic structure is also completely different from other existing kits. An inner, posable skeleton of heavy-duty, semi-hard plastic is covered by soft, black, rubber covers that conceal the inner frame at the "gaps" in the EVA's armor at joints, on the abdomen and other places. This rubber suit is then covered in turn by the usual outer plastic panels. This structure, the designers say, give it a durability and poseability well beyond what you are used to seeing.

Also, this kit's shoulder panels open (both sides) for weapon storage, and a plug-in power pack (takes 2 AAA batteries) lights up the EVA logos on its shoulders. Five sets of hands are included, as are the Pallet Gun, Progressive Knife, Two swords (long & short) with scabbards, the inner Eva head and a red metallic-plated "core."

A benchmark series in the history of anime, Hideaki Anno's Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of the most widely discussed in anime. Whilt it's not the first series to combine mecha (futuristic machines, especially robots) with theology and a character-driven story, it does so exceptionally well.

The designs of the robots by Ikuto Yamashita are strikingly original; the questions raised about the future of the human race stimulate viewers' imaginations and the characters show a depth of personality rare in anime. The story is set in 2015, 15 years after a cataclysmic explosion in Antarctica that caused the ice cap to melt, killing a large portion of the Earth's population.

This really is one of the anime series that must be seen. You will not be disappointed.
