Neon Genesis Evangelion
Neon Genesis Evangelion’s story is complicated, but luckily, the watch order is relatively straightforward. Be sure to come back for part 2, which will focus on the anime’s production history, Anno’s influences from Christian mythology and Freudian psychology, and optional spinoffs like the Rebuild movies, a manga adaptation, and a bizarre high school romance visual novel. Neon Genesis Evangelion was a Japanese anime that came out in October 4,1995. It was latter released in the USA, Cartoon Network aired the first two episodes in February 24, 2003, the whole series was latter aired on Adult Swim in October 25, 2005. Cartoon Network heavily censored the anime due to being a children's network.
Japan’s most controversial anime series ended.but not the manga version of Neon Genesis Evangelion! Series co-creator Yoshiyuki Sadamoto’s personal interpretation of the Evangelion characters and story is sure to intrigue new and old fans alike.
In 2015, the “Angels” have returned, and Shinji Ikari, a fourteen-year-old child of the new Earth, is forced by his father Gendo—commander of the secret organization NERV—to pilot the monstrous biomechanical weapon called “Evangelion” to match the Angels’ fearsome power. Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of the most enduring and significant touchstones for anime, manga, and pop culture fans over the past two decades, thanks to the groundbreaking television series and beautifully animated movies.

Welcome to the Neon Genesis Evangelion Fan-Geeks Project
For the fans, by the fans, this site is devoted to -- you guessed it! -- Evangelion in all its incarnations. The focus is on the original anime, Neon Genesis Evangelion, which has maintained a loyal base of devotees and continued to attract new fans since it originally debuted back in 1996. The 'Evangelion: New Theatrical Edition' movies currently being produced are, naturally, of great interest as well, keeping the fans waiting with bated breath to see just what surprises Hideaki Anno and his Studio Khara will unleash on us next.
In these dark times, on an Internet where devoted Evangelion sites and fora are becoming increasingly sparse, EvaGeeks is intended to be an enduring sanctuary for the English-speaking fandom. In addition to an active forum and news page, we play host to an expanding collection of local content, much of it original, which you shall find below. EvaGeeks is, officially, the new incarnation of the Evangelion Commentary Project website, although, years later, much content still remains to be transferred over.. (Heh.)
The Eva Wiki currently has 51,442 pages and 559 articles, with a total of 38,959 images.
Commentary
Originally launched by Reichu and various other at AnimeNation years ago, only four episodes, the OP, and the ED were tackled before the project, rather sadly, went into limbo. In the time since, there have been many queries and concerns about the future of the commentary. Reichu is well known as a procrastinator of super-Sadamoto proportions, and no one else has stepped up to take her place as leader, ..until now! Episode 05 and Episode 06 was opened to comments and edited into the new commentary pages. Please take a look! We are also proud to announce that Episode 07 is open for comments. Those wishing to comment should leave their comments here.
Meta
Volunteers are free to recommend themselves. Probably the best way to do this is to get an account at the forum (which is a requisite to be an editor anyway) and post in the sign-up thread on the forums. This way, you won't have to deal with Reichu's typical flakiness, and there is a good chance that one of sysops will notice you. But, please, do not 'volunteer' if you have no intention of actually contributing anything to the site aside from a user page. That's just lame.
