The year is 2015AD

For the salvation of mankind who are approaching evolutionary dead-end as living things
"The Human Supplement Project" is put in motion

Attacking to prevent that project, an unidentified fleet of gigantic battle weapons
"The Apostles"

Are they, bestowed with the name of "Angels",
Really "messengers of the gods" at all?

To get the vast power that can best contend with "the Apostles", Mankind
Develops the versatile, man-shaped, showdown weapon "Evangelion"
Now, 14 years after that, there are already 3 in practical use

However, people have no choice
But to leave piloting of the "Evas" to "14 year-old boys and girls"

The battle of the youths that are carrying the survival of mankind on their backs begins now
