What Time Will ‘Neon Genesis Evangelion’ Be on Netflix?

This week, Netflix is adding the beloved anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion to its library, making it the first time the series has ever been made available on a streaming service in the United States. But how exactly can you watch Neon Genesis Evangelion?

Though it only ran for 26 episodes, Neon Genesis Evangelion left behind a massive legacy. The 1995 mecha anime followed Shinji, a teenage boy who is recruited by his father to pilot a massive robot and defeat a series of monsters known as “Angels.” So far, anime as usual, right? What sets Neon Genesis Evangelion apart is its execution. Each battle and Angel death plunges Shinji and his friends deeper into depression as they’re forced to harm these humanlike creatures. It’s a brilliantly paced reflection on PTSD that has influenced anime for decades. And now it’s coming to Netflix.
