The story of Neon Genesis Evangelion primarily begins in 2000 with the " Second Impact", a global cataclysm which almost completely destroyed Antarctica and led to the deaths of half the human population of Earth. Much of the series's content was based on Hideaki Anno's own clinical depression. Through the exploration of these issues, the show begins to question reality and the existences therein. While the initial episodes focus largely on religious symbols and specific references to the Bible, the later episodes tend to go deeper into the psyches of the characters, where it is learned that many of them have deep-seated emotional and mental issues. They are piloted by several of the main characters, including Shinji Ikari, Asuka Sohryu, and Rei Ayanami. The Evangelion series revolves around the organization NERV, using large mechas called Evangelions to combat monstrous beings called Angels. The name was chosen in part for its religious symbolism, as well as for the fact that Hideaki Anno said he liked the word "Evangelion" because it "sound complicated". The term "Evangelion" is in relation to the ancient Greek term for "good messenger" or "good news". The name Shin Seiki Evangerion translates directly as "New Century Evangelion" or "New Era Evangelion".
It gained international renown and won several animation awards, and was the start of the Neon Genesis Evangelion series. The anime was written and directed by Hideaki Anno, and co-produced by TV Tokyo and Nihon Ad Systems (NAS). New Century Evangelion), commonly referred to as Evangelion, is a Japanese anime series, created by Gainax, that began in October 1995.
