Get ready to learn how to say “what the hell just happened?” in Japanese. “Neon Genesis Evangelion,” one of the most acclaimed — and straight up weird — works in anime history, will be available to stream globally for the first time when it debuts on Netflix in 2019.
The announcement came during Netflix’s Anime Lineup Presentation, held Tuesday in Tokyo.
Produced by Gainax and Tatsunoko Production, “Neon Genesis Evangelion” originally aired on TV Tokyo from October 1995 to March 1996. Set in the far-future year of 2015, the show tracks a war between humans, defended by pilots who control giant bio-machines called “Evangelions,” and aliens called “Angels.” Drawing imagery from Kabbalah, Christianity and Judaism, “Evangelion” is particularly celebrated — and notorious — for its insane ending. The uninitiated can watch the teaser trailer above.

Hello my friends and welcome back to Bomb Girls, the only show in existence about a group of angels making high explosives. I don’t know about you, but to me this episode felt like a mug of cocoa after a long day in the snow.
When last we saw our heroines, Kate and Ivan were continuing their chaste courtship, Lorna was doing an excellent job mothering everyone except the people who actually sprang from her loins, Gladys was mourning the death of her beloved fiancé regular fiancé, and Betty was basking in sweet, sweet post-coital bliss.
Six weeks later—for once the show timeline matches real life—the Witham-Hastings clan has descended to the United States to pay their respects to James. For some reason, they all feel compelled to assure Gladys that this is all her fault. Mrs. Or Whatever says that James...
