Witness the rebuild of a legend.

After the Second Impact, Tokyo-3 is being attacked by giant monsters called Angels that seek to eradicate humankind. The child Shinji’s objective is to fight the Angels by piloting one of the mysterious Evangelion mecha units. A remake of the first six episodes of GAINAX’s famous 1996 anime series. The film was retitled “Evangelion: 1.01” for its DVD release and “Evangelion: 1.11” for a release with additional scenes.
In Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone, consciousness is carried by aliens — a plane of “angelic invasion”. The story fights on E8/E14 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing identity, fear, technology, existential, survival.
