Mankind's greatest fear is mankind itself.

At the turn of the century, the Angels returned to Earth, seeking to wipe out humanity in an apocalyptic fury.

Fifteen years later, that day has come... but this time, humanity is ready to fight back with terrifying bio-mechanical weapons known as the Evangelions.
