Helping him through the situation however, is Lt. Colonel Misato Katsuragi, a beautiful woman that seems carefree and silly, but is dead serious when it comes to the effectiveness of her role in this war against the angels. After winning his first battle, Shinji moves in with Misato and the recovering pilot Rei. While he be able to form a connection with the distant and emotionally fragile Rei? And will he earn his father's respect and love, two things he has never seen?

Comprised mostly of events from the first six episodes of the Neon Genesis Evangelion series, Evangelion: 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone adapts the original story with new, cutting edge, CG-assisted animation that proves to be the pinnacle of the format thus far. Thankfully, all of these new bells and whistles haven't tarnished the story. While Shinii's whining can get tiresome at times, this is still an immensely emotional, action-packed film of biblical proportions. Anime fans owe it to themselves to experience the Evangelion saga.
