This is what it means to feel nostalgic yet new. From 1995 to 1997, the anime series "Neon Genesis Evangelion" became a social phenomenon alongside "Tamagotchi" and "Komuro Family." This work has been rebuilt as a theatrical anime for the first time in 10 years. A rebuild is the process of digitizing original artwork and other materials to reconstruct the work. The overwhelming detail of the CG mecha, the sheer volume, and the digital photography technology. The hand-drawn characters and art techniques. Technology x technology = perhaps the highest quality of 2007-08. The story of this first of a four-part series is based on the first eight episodes of the TV series. It depicts the wounds and suffering of 14-year-old Shinji, who suddenly finds himself piloting the artificial human Evangelion. This is also very moving. Sexy, cute Shinji is one of the highlights of this Evangelion. The battle with the Sixth Angel in the second half is an entirely new production. The tension of concentrating all of Japan's electricity into one point to shoot down the Sixth Angel and Shinji's inner conflict will have you on the edge of your seat. This is an undeniable masterpiece that even those who only know Evangelion from pachinko should see. I can't wait for the sequel. (Shida Hidekuni)
