I’m sure you will agree when I say that cartoons are entertaining for both children and adults alike. These particular animated series are a bigger part of most lives. Most of these came out when you were children and your mornings and evenings were all about these shows. Times sure have changed but that doesn’t change the memories the mere mention of these series brings. The ranking is based on opinions and yours are welcome. Please enjoy the read!
10. NEON GENESIS EVANGELION
In the year 2015, the Angels, huge, tremendously powerful, alien war machines, appear in Tokyo for the second time. The only hope for Mankind`s survival lies in the Evangelion, a humanoid fighting machine developed by NERV, a special United Nations agency. Capable of withstanding anything the Angels can dish out, the Evangelion`s one drawback lies in the limited number of people able to pilot them. Only a handful of teenagers, all born fourteen years ago, nine months after the Angels first appeared, are able to interface with the Evangelion. One such teenager is Shinji Ikari, whose father heads the NERV team that developed and maintains the Evangelion. Thrust into a maelstrom of battle and events that he does not understand, Shinji is forced to plumb the depths of his own inner resources for the courage and strength to not only fight, but to survive, or risk losing everything.
