🧾 これまでのあらすじ ネタバレあり
Fifteen years after Second Impact, Shinji is summoned by his father Gendo and becomes the pilot of Evangelion Unit-01. Through repeated battles against the Angels, Shinji learns both the pain and joy of connecting with others — fellow pilots Rei and Asuka, and his guardian Misato. As the story progresses, the hidden agenda behind NERV, Gendo, and the mysterious Human Instrumentality Project gradually comes into focus. The TV series' final two episodes resolve through abstract, introspective imagery depicting Shinji's inner world, sparking enormous controversy among viewers.
✅ 観る・注目するおすすめポイント
Even decades later, few shows have pushed as deep into human psychology as this one did within the mecha genre. Some parts can feel dense or cryptic, but we recommend first watching straight through all 26 episodes of the TV series.
