June 22nd, 2015: The In-Anime Date Of "Neon Genesis Evangelion"


The events of 'Evangelion​" begins today.

Today is June 22nd, 2015, which is actually a very important day for the iconic 1995 anime series, "Neon Genesis Evangelion​", because it is the in-anime date of the very first episode, "Angel Attack". This is the day that the protagonist Shinji Ikari​ meets the Third Angel, Sachiel​, and his estranged father, Gendo Ikari​, tells him to get in the f***ing robot.


From this day forward, Shinji Ikari would become the pilot for Eva Unit-01 and save humanity for the extraterrestrial beings known as Angels. This is my all-time favorite TV show of all-time due to its balance of action, character development, precise direction, impeccable writing, philosophical and religious symbolisms, and thought provoking questions. If you haven't seen this show, watch all 26 episodes as soon as you can (try to avoid the English dub for the best experience).


All we have to do is wait for the Third Impact.
