What is evangelion re-take?

Evangelion Re-Take is a fan-made manga series written and illustrated by Studio Kimigabuchi. The story is a spin-off of the popular anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion, which focuses on a group of teenagers piloting giant bio-mechanical robots called Evangelions to protect the world from monstrous beings called Angels.

The manga follows the story of Shinji Ikari, the main protagonist of the original series, who is haunted by the events of the Third Impact and the loss of his friend Asuka. The story takes a darker and more mature tone than the original series, exploring themes of trauma, depression, and the meaning of human connection.

The manga was initially released in Japan in 2004 and was later translated into English by various fan groups. Despite its unofficial status, the manga has gained a large following among Evangelion fans due to its compelling story and detailed artwork.

Evangelion Re-Take is notable for its controversial ending, which diverges significantly from the ending of the original series and has been met with mixed reactions from fans. Despite this, the manga remains a popular and influential work within the Evangelion fan community.
