Fortunately, a mysterious beauty named Satella, in hot pursuit after the one who stole her insignia, happens upon Subaru and saves him. Armed with only a bag of groceries and a now useless cell phone, he is quickly beaten to a pulp.

Things aren't looking good for the bewildered teenager however, not long after his arrival, he is attacked by some thugs. When Subaru Natsuki leaves the convenience store, the last thing he expects is to be wrenched from his everyday life and dropped into a fantasy world. But as this psychological drama unfolds, ancient secrets beneath the big picture begin to bubble to the surface. Written by Hideaki Anno, Neon Genesis Evangelion is a heroic tale of a young boy who will become a legend. Face to face with his father for the first time in years, 14-year-old Shinji Ikari's average life is irreversibly changed when he is whisked away into the depths of Nerv, and into a harrowing new destiny-he must become the pilot of Evangelion Unit-01 with the fate of mankind on his shoulders. Aiding in this defensive endeavor are talented personnel Misato Katsuragi, Head of Tactical Operations, and Ritsuko Akagi, Chief Scientist. Gendou Ikari, head of the organization, seeks compatible pilots who can synchronize with the Evangelions and realize their true potential. Humanity's last hope lies in the hands of Nerv, a special agency under the United Nations, and their Evangelions, giant machines capable of defeating the Angels who herald Earth's ruin. In the year 2015, the world stands on the brink of destruction.
