Evangelion: 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance
Under constant attack by Angels, NERV introduces two new pilots: the mysterious Makinami Mari Illustrous and the intense Asuka Langley Shikinami. Parallel to the incursion, Gendo Ikari and SEELE proceed the secret project that involves both Rei and Shinji.
Determined to completely renovate the Evangelion universe, last year Anno Hideaki, its creator, embarked on a new tetralogy that made the most of the latest animation technologies and meant a new beginning, closer to his original desires. Evangelion 1.0, presented at Sitges’08, re-updated the series’ first six episodes and Evangelion 2.0 continues the task with the following fourteen. Mari, a new pilot, joins the NERV crew to continue defending Tokyo-3 from the Angels’ attacks as the ‘Third impact’ approaches, a catastrophe that, if it occurred, would permanently change humanity’s destiny.
