The name of a nostalgic mecha anime

EVA Chinese Evangelion was directed by Hideaki Anno and was first broadcast in Japan in 1995 with 26 episodes. In 1997, two theatrical versions of "Death and Rebirth" and "THE" were released END OF EVANGELION", the latter of which also includes "AIR/Sincerely for You". In 2007, a new four-episode theatrical version plan was launched, of which the first episode "Prologue" and the second episode "Broken" have been released. The third episode of the new theatrical version "Q" has been previewed, and the fourth episode has not yet been named.

The content of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" begins with a typical robot animation, and the story focuses on describing battle scenes and character dialogue. As the plot progresses, the story gradually turns into a psychoanalytic narrative of the characters' inner world, and this feature is brought into full play especially in the ending chapters. The revolutionary strong stream of consciousness technique and the use of a large number of religious and philosophical images caused it to have a huge reverberation and impact in Japan, which was called a "social phenomenon", and became a milestone in the history of Japanese animation. Many anime watchers often regard it as one of the greatest anime in Japanese history. Name

The Japanese title of "EVA" is: New Century エヴァンゲリオン, pronounced Shin Seiki Evangerion, which is a combination of Japanese and the Japanese introduced word "New Century Gospel". The name "Neon Genesis Evangelion" was decided by GAINAX.

Explanation of the meaning of each word in the full English name:

"Neon": new, brand-new, new life (from Greek: neos).

"Genesis": origin, occurrence, creation, creation (Chapter 1 of the Old Testament); it is translated from Latin (the etymology is Greek), first seen in the Bible, used to describe The creation or origin of the world.

"Evangelion" is neither "Evangelion" nor "Evangelist". In fact, there is no such word in English, only a few words related to the Bible. One version of the word is taken from the combination of two words "EVA" for Adam's wife Eve in the Old Testament Genesis and the Greek word "Euangelion" for the gospel. Another theory is that it is the Anglicized version of the Greek word "good news", which is translated as gospel in the Bible; originally, this word referred to "the messenger who delivers the good news", and the prefix "ev-" means "Good", "Angelion" means "messenger" (from Angel); over time, it came to mean only "good news". Its double meaning may be why this animation and those robots are called "Evangelion" "The reason.

Producer profile GAINAX, a Japanese animation production company, was established on December 24, 1984. Its most famous work is "Neon Genesis Evangelion".

GAINAX is famous for its subversion of traditional animation types and experimental animation. In addition, due to the interests of its members, there are often a large number of parodies or homages in the company's works. At the same time, GAINAX is also notorious for the budget problems of some famous animations, sometimes even limiting the number of animation frames to tighten the budget. Although until "Neon Genesis Evangelion", GAINAX only produced works with original stories, in recent years it has also begun to adapt comic works into animations, such as "His and Hers" and "Magic Housekeeper". GAINAX also often references classic animation in its works, and is therefore known as the "otaku company". [Edit this paragraph] Content introduction In 2000, a scientific expedition team conducted an expedition in Antarctica against the "Giant of Light" known as the "First Apostle" Adam. During a contact experiment on it, the "Giant of Light" self-destructed, resulting in a "Second Impact" that led to a world war. Eventually, the human population halved, the Earth's axis shifted, and the climate changed. Based on the investigation of the "Second Impact", the United Nations established the Artificial Evolution Research Institute (ie GEHIRN) in Hakone, Japan to engage in the development of EVA (referring to robots). Later, GEHIRN used the huge cavity discovered under the Artificial Evolution Research Institute to build its headquarters. .

On the other hand, in order to evolve humans, SEELE, a secret organization under the United Nations, began to implement the human completion plan, which is to bring everyone’s souls together and neutralize everyone’s AT field. Bringing everyone back to the sea of ??LCL.

In 2004, an accident occurred during the start-up test of the EVA unit No. 1. Ikari Shinji's mother Ikari Yui disappeared, and Ikari Gendo began to implement the "Ikari Gendo version of the human completion plan." In 2010, GEHIRN was converted into NERV.

Beginning in 2015, according to the arrangement of the SEELE Human Completion Project script, an unknown giant creature "the Apostle" began to land in Japan and attacked the NERV headquarters. NERV organized EVA to destroy the Apostle. Shinji Ikari was recalled by his father to pilot Unit 1, and met Rei Ayanami and others. While NERV was fighting the Apostles, Ikari Gendo secretly carried out his own plans. As time went by, Ikari Yuantang's plan was gradually discovered by SEELE, and the conflict between NERV and SEELE arose and continued to worsen. This contradiction was not resolved in the TV version.

In the theatrical version, the conflict between NERV and SEELE intensified. SEELE falsely claimed that NERV was trying to trigger a third attack, inciting the League of Nations to send troops to kill NERV. After the League of Nations troops occupied NERV, SEELE launched the Human Completion Plan
