This is not a drill: arguably the greatest anime of all time, Neon Genesis Evangelion, is coming to Netflix in the first half of 2019.
@NX, Netflix’s genre-focused Twitter account, made the announcement today.

Considered one of the greatest anime series ever due to the unconventional way it handled the giant mecha genre, with a deeply human, existential slant, Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of those things you just have to see for yourself. As in the above promo, “ONE OF THE MOST BELOVED INFLUENTIAL CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED ANIME OF ALL TIME” in all caps just about covers it.
At first a couple of fans outside North America were cautious in their enthusiasm, thrown off by the “Spring 2019” bit – we’ve been burned before by hemispherism.
But no: this is for real, for everyone.
