Neon Genesis Evangelion

In the year 2015, an Angel returns to attack Tokyo-3. Misato Katsuragi transports Shinji to the NERV base overseen by his estranged father, Gendo.

After piloting the Eva Unit 01, Shinji wakes up in the hospital with no memory of the battle. Feeling sorry for him, Misato lets him move in with her.

Word gets around school that Shinji is the Eva pilot; his classmate Toji resents him for it. An Angel appears and Shinji must pilot in combat again.

Stressed out following his last battle, Shinji runs away from home and meets Kensuke. After NERV brings him back in, Misato offers him a choice.

Unit 00's pilot Rei Ayanami appears to have recovered, but she has no friends, no records of her past, and no interest in getting to know Shinji.

As the Fifth Angel drills toward NERV, Misato leads Operation Yashima: All of Japan's power will be diverted to take out Ramiel with a positron rifle.

Ritsuko tells Shinji about the classified true cause of the Second Impact. Then she and Misato attend the field test for an Eva competitor mecha.

Shinji and his friends accompany Misato to meet Eva Unit 02 and its pilot Asuka at sea. Misato's old friend Ryoji Kaji is aboard with his own agenda.

Asuka and Shinji face another Angel but it gets the upper hand. They now have six days to learn synchronized moves to destroy it completely.

NERV learns of an Angel in dormant embryonic form inside a volcano. Using equipment designed for magma, Asuka is sent to retrieve it with Unit 02.
