Neon Genesis Evangelion dates back to its October 1995 anime launch.

When it comes to sci-fi, there are some series you cannot overlook. From Star Trek to The War of the Worlds, creators across time have leaned into the wonders of science fiction. As for anime, the same truth applies as IPs like Neon Genesis Evangelion changed the genre, and now a new report reveals Nier: Automata was born from Evangelion.

"The work I was most inspired by is Neon Genesis Evangelion. I thank you for praising Nier: Automata's story, but actually it's pretty much just a retelling of Evangelion, so there's not much originality to it. I don't really watch recent movies, so I'm mostly inspired by memories of works I saw in the past," they shared.

If you have not checked out Neon Genesis Evangelion, there is no time like now to binge the sci-fi classic. The hit anime is streaming now on Netflix. So for more info on Evangelion, you can read up on its official synopsis below:
