BASED ON THE LEGENDARY ANIME, AN ALL-NEW EVANGELION SAGA TOLD IN AN ALTERNATE TIMELINE!

What if reluctant hero Ikari Shinji had saved the world? Now, at seventeen years old, he is the defacto leader of the EVA team. Under the leadership of Commander Katsuragi Misato, the Evangelion suits have been updated with advanced designs and powers, in preparation for the possible return of the monstrous Angels. Four copies of Ayanami Rei have been tasked with operating a global anti-Angel search-and-destroy program. But when one of these clones goes rogue, it’s up to Shinji to stop her.

Tiffany Grant as narrator makes this feel even more like a direct continuation of the original evangelion series.

Tiffany Grant as narrator makes this feel even more like a direct continuation of the original evangelion series. It ends on a cliffhanger, and thankfully that means there should be more to come. I hope this project receives enough support for the entire thing to be completed. 

Tiffany Grant extends her Evangelion wins

Tiffany Grant did an amazing job per usual. I’m so happy at the end of this and ready for the next in the series.

Fun! Give it a try!

If you like Evangelion, experience these new adventures! It involves events after the rebirth. Voiced by Asuka’s voice actress.

Outstanding.

I love that Asuka herself is doing these. She did a great read on this one. I bought all 5 volumes on audible because I saw Tiffany was the narrator.

beautiful work of art

the story is amazing I been a big fan of the sires as it was the first manga/anime I read/seen. can't wait for the next issue

More pieces for the puzzle, nostalgia road trip

The immersion and nostalgia is unbeatable. Being able to go on one more trip with the cast has got off to a great start. I love the different tones each character receives when it's their turn to speak. Tiffany does a great job at taking us back to where things left off. I'm looking forward to starting volume 2.

Fun but misses the magic of NGE

First of all, the narrator did an amazing job, so my complaint isn't with her.

Anima's plot is an interesting follow-up to NGE and its action sequences are well done. However, because it's a light novel, its pace is breakneck and flows from fight scene to science magic explanation to fight scene and back again. The characters, who are hit or miss with their faithfulness to the originals, are scarcely explored at all, and there's exactly one scene of casual downtime between them. Finally, Anima didn't have the psychological thriller aspect that made NGE a classic. There's a vague attempt at it with the Rei clones, but it feels forced and inorganic.

THIS IS AMAZING

They got the fricken SHINJI they got the stinkin ASUKA they got a whole lotta REI they even got TOJIIIIII

The voice over
