Neon Genesis Evangelion ( Japanese: 新世紀エヴァンゲリオン, Shinseiki Evangelion) is an anime series directed and written by Hideaki Anno and produced by Gainax. It is generally regarded as one of the modern classics of anime. It is generally concerned with the pilots of mechas called Evangelions who are charged with defending Tokyo-3 against monsters called Angels. Although it starts as a regular mecha anime, the focus tends to shift from action to flashbacks and analyses of the main characters, in particular the main character Shinji Ikari. Anno suffered from a long depression previous to creating Eva; much of the show is based on his own experiences dealing with depression and psychological theory he learned from psychotherapy. Characters in the anime display show a variety of mood disorders and problems with emotional health, especially depression, trauma and separation anxiety disorder.

A large deal of the merchandise has an amusingly detached or hilarious non-relation to the dark nature of the series. It has also spawned various computer games, including Girlfriend Of Steel. While shoehorned into the original plot, the sequel to the game, Girlfriend Of Steel 2, takes place in a complete alternate universe. This later inspired a manga, which uses most of the Evangelion characters in a 'normal' schoolyard drama series.
