For those not knowing, Neon Genesis Evangelion is a Japanese animation series created by Gainax featuring a lot of interesting themes. Set in a futuristic Toky fifteen years after a cataclysm, humanity faces the threat of some mysterious monsters called Angels. The story of the anime begins with Shinji Hikari getting recrutied by the NERV organization, who forces the boy to pilot an Evangelion, a giant bio-machine that’s capable of taking down Angels when controlled by a skilled individual. The series focuses on both this war against the Angels and on the several Evangelion pilots, exploring their emotions during the conflict. The series is also known for the use of religious symbolism and themes.

The Neon Genesis Evangelion Puzzle And Dragons update will launch in Japan next week and sometime during March in Europe and North America.
