The new technologies and weapons being used by the Evas all sound really cool and the accompanying artwork is awesome. I also really like the scientific explanations behind the technologies being used, there seems to be a lot of effort given to make sure things have a strong scientific background (it doesn’t overload you with detail but it’s clear things have been given careful thought and consideration). I won’t spoil things but this book adds some characters and ideas from the Rebuild films which is a nice touch. Instead these books take a more optimistic view of not only humanity but Shinji, Asuka and Rei and their ability to keep fighting and not give up. Meanwhile, back on Earth the world’s Military powers form an alliance spear headed by NERV Japan who come up with a plan to lure Armaros back to Earth in hopes of defeating it in a final confrontation.įirstly, I love that these Anima books basically ignore End of Evangelion film as that story is too much of a downer for me.

Shinji and Super Eva Unit 01 still wounded and damaged after their battle with Armaros find themselves along with Clone Rei Quatre mysteriously transported to a different version of Earth called the Apples Core where they battle Seele controlled Kaji and his mutated Eva 0.0 unit for control of duplicate Spear of Longinus. Due to Armaros a mysterious Eva unit trying to complete the Human Instrumentality Project. As apocalyptic disasters continue to ravage Earth. Which was all more interesting than I thought it was going to be, although the new science behind the Evas was a bit too expository, which leads me to the main plot this volume.Įvangelion: Anima Vol.3, picks up right where the previous novel left off. Throughout the book, it just dumps all the great lore and science behind the new Evas. From each of the volumes galleries, you see the evolution of the mechas and how they’re just bigger, better, and more destructive. The three years of peace, Nerv has since upped its arsenal of Eva units and weaponry, and from that’s one thing the novel goes crazy with is the designs of the Evas. Fast forward to three years later, and we get Evangelion going full mecha anime as this light novel series is all about the Evas. Where the third impact doesn’t happen, and it doesn’t all return to nothing or coming tumbling down. 3 by Ikuto Yamashita is Young Adult tie-in novel based on the anime franchise “Neon Genesis Evangelion.”įor those unfamiliar the Neon Genesis Evangelion: Anima trilogy is a sequel to Neon Genesis Evangelion anime set in an alternative timeline.
