A sub-genre of science fiction dealing with future urban societies dominated by computer technology. Baburugamu Kuraishisu, Serial Experiments Lain and Koukaku Kidoutai are good examples.
This is a genre of anime which features mechanical fighting machines. Often these take the form of giant robots but this isn't the only form mecha can take. There are tons of examples of mecha titles considering the popularity of the series. Blue Gender, Shin Seiki Evangelion, Tenkuu no Escaflowne, and Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 are all classic mecha titles.

Watch |
Originally a collection of clips from the Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series, Death was created as a precursor to the re-worked ending of the series. Rebirth was intended as that reworked ending but after production overruns became only the first half of the first episode of The End of Evangelion, with some minor differences. Over time, two newer director`s cuts of Death were produced, each including new footage not seen in the series - these were called Death (True) and finally Death (True)^2. Note that despite containing clips from the series, Death (True)^2 & Rebirth should be seen after the series itself to be fully understood. |
 Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion |
Rent | An alternative ending to the TV series, replacing the episodes 25 and 26 by a movie which now answers many of the questions left open in the series: Now that the last angel has been defeated, what will happen next as NERV has lost its purpose but still has control over two EVAs powerful enough to destroy the world as we know it? Will SEELE allow Ikari Gendou to stay in control? And what was all this story all about? |

A secret organization, NERV, builds giant mechs called Evas that can only be piloted by 14 year olds. These EVAs are used to fight against alien beings called "angels" that come to earth and cause destruction. Shinji Ikari, the son of the CEO of NERV, is picked up to become the "3rd children" (no typo!) and pilot one of these awesome mechs. However, being the pilot takes an emotional toll on him.... |
